Decided to use this more, therefore adding all the people from my Pixelfed Home Cooking account here at the moment (primarily as a backup). This way I can also see their non-photo content.

Oats, sardines and crisps: emergency foods to stockpile – and why you should share them

In turbulent times, experts recommend building up a store of food if possible – focusing on long-life, no-cook items

I like this. Let’s see what is typically English for me?

Living in the South of England for many years I realised that British food is so much better than its reputation and it kept surprising me in many positive ways. A bakery even managed to create a sourdough rye bread that I would love to be able to buy here in Germany. It’s this openness to finding new food experiences and incorporating them into the normal ways of life, that is typical English to me.

That - and the South Downs. Such a beautiful landscape!

The state creating a stockpile is one thing, stocking food and other essential items at home to deal with (hopefully temporary) problems like blackouts is another good precaution to take.

‘The English person with a Chinese stomach’: how Fuchsia Dunlop became a Sichuan food hero

The long read: The author has been explaining Sichuan cuisine to westerners for decades. But ‘Fu Xia’, as she’s known, has had a profound effect on food lovers in China, too

Wow, das würde ich auch probieren, aber selber kochen wäre mir zu viel Aufwand 😅

Another minus for the big one is that after a year of use in my house a plastic piece holding the inner lid in place came off. The cooker is still usable and I kept it for larger amounts of rice or rice cooked with more ingredients, but it’s a bit more iffy to use now.

The other thing I noticed is that the big one needs to be cleaned much more due to a lot more steam escaping. The little one has so far always had no condensation making it into the outside collection container and the inside also stays drier.

For me the short grain is often a tiny bit too sticky despite washing it well but it is not bad by any means. And this one shines when doing long grain rice, the rice is standing up after cooking which is the best possible result - but the author didn’t like her results. However, I do agree on the badly translated instructions. The German ones were even worse, leaving out whole chunks of information.
