Alright guys, In my europoor country rice in boil-in-bags is really popular amongts students.
In my dorm we have some exchange students (Turkey, Italy, Spain, Russia) and I am guessing they don't have such things in their countries because they tear up the bags and cook the rice normally.
>tl;dr do you have rice in bags ready to boil in your country/state/whatever? is it popular?

>cooking in plastic

In Canada milk comes in bags.

We certainly HAVE boil-in-bag rice,
But anyone with half a brain just uses parboiled rice anyway so they're not that popular.
Yeah, ok, I don't think they are great or anything, I am just wondering how popular it is in other counntries.

We have bagged rice and other things in Russia, but usually only ones who cook badly (well, like students)) use it.

Okay seriously what the FUCK is the point of the rice bag.
>>7048790

ITT: literal cancer
its not hard to cook rice the proper way

Boil in bag rice is the cheapest crap ever, buy no brand and you can get a kilo of rice at a price that's only beaten by buying 25 kilo bags at an Asian store.

I have $20 rice cooker that lets me program it to have rice ready at any point in the next 12 hours. Time isn't an issue. And why the fuck are you even posting on a cooking board if measuring water is a hassle for you?

>>tl;dr do you have rice in bags ready to boil in your country/state/whatever? is it popular?
No.
Because we aren't retards, and know how to cook rice without the need for a plastic baggy.

I am not saying it is a great way to cook rice.. I am just saying its rather normal to see someone cook rice like that to me.
And I am interested in the way people from other countries see it

As convenience / retard-proofing taken too far.
You can only screw up rice one of two ways.
1. too little or way too much water
2. too much heat
Now me, since I'm never making just plain rice, I'd need to cut the bag open.
potatoes for the win
Spain here. They started selling this this year. It's practical, but it's not our tasty tasty spanish rice
>cook rice in a pot the normal way
>mother sees it and eats some
>"wow anon this is great how did you make this not using a bag?"
>what
>"isn't cooking it in a bag the only way to cook it?"

WTF is wrong with some people?

The only place I have ever seen those rice where at my grandmas house and I think they were even 2 years overdue.
Grandpa didn't want to eat rice because only niggers eat rice.
invest in a pressure cooker

>really popular amongts students.
This is usually an excellent indicator that something is incredibly fucking terrible in every way.
Are people really just too retarded to buy a decent bag of rice and use the pasta method?
It's the exact same amount of effort and you're getting better quality rice that isn't cooked with fucking plastic.

retarded AND lazy. boil in a bag rice is for people like my parents, people who need food you can't fuck up. It's mostly something like "boil this amount of water, put the thing in, set a timer for so many minutes, take it out of the boiling water" food.
'murrican here, admittedly not having read the thread.
The only time I've bought, or even seen, boil in bag rice was when I spent a year in France and got sick of trying to cook rice on the electric element thing in my tiny apartment.
I honestly don't know if this exists in the States, but from my experience it's not much different than instant/microwave rice.
>>7048790
i normally takes the rice out too, not because i don't know how to boil them in a plastic back, i just really think it's unhealthy and i like my rice without plastic
i'm not from a country where rice bags don't exist, but they are though very very expensive compared to normal rice, so i'm very surprised that students eat that instead of saving money and boil proper rice
>>7048790
Rice in boil bags is very popular in germany.
It's simple and effective. Why waste money on a rice cooker when you can get your rice done this method quick and easy?
I rarely eat rice so I use those bags for maximum convenience.
>>7048790
My gf buys that shit all the time. I really don't get what's so hard about cooking rice without a bag. People who burns their rice shouldn't be in a kitchen in the first place.
>>7048790
Seems pretty lazy for an already easy dish. Honestly this reminds me of a "what does /ck/ think about frozen tv dinners?" Kinda thread.
Why people post this stuff on /ck/ I will never understand.
>>7048790
they're expensive as fuck in my country and wannabe "posh" students with rich parents buy them and think they're fancy lmao.
>>7048790
I am a student and I do indeed cook rice in the bag.
It really saves you time so you can browse more dank memes, and it doesn't clutter your kitchen like rice cooker does.
I live in Indiana, work at a grocery store, boil in bag rice is our worst selling white/brown rice.
