  • I spent my last year of college mostly eating cheap, unhealthy, and fast to make foods and most of it was vegetarian.

    • cereal
    • pbj sandwiches
    • ramen
    • breakfast bars
    • Mac and cheese
    • boiled eggs
    • oats
    • put some rice in a rice cooker and then mix it with one of these:
      • stir fry some peanuts and add some spices + lemon
      • stir fry some peanuts and add a tamarind + spice mix
      • pickle. Comes straight from the store in a jar for a variety of fruits and vegetables. Just mix it with rice and eat, no cooking involved except turning on a rice cooker. Lasts forever.
      • make egg fried rice on the rare occasion when you have more time/ are less lazy


  • For lower budgets, stainless steel aroma rice cookers last a really long time. My parents have had the same aroma rice cooker for the past decade and use it everyday (more than once a day on avg). I would find it difficult to tell the difference between it and one that’s only a month old.

    For higher budgets and higher efficiency (because they trap the steam and use the pressure), you can go for a premium japanesee brand like zojurishi or tiger.-

    Yum Asia (Chinese brand) rice cookers are somewhere in between the premium Japanese ones and the low budget aromas.

    While the rice cooker itself is fairly bifl for all these options, the inner pot is not.

    Aroma has stainless steel inner pots which are truly bifl. The east asian brands mostly have Teflon nonstick inner pots which aren’t bifl as the nonstick will start peeling after a few years and you will need to get a replacement inner pot. Tiger and Yum Asia also offer a ceramic inner pot which will last longer than the Teflon, but not as long as the stainless steel.

    With aromas, you need to physically remove the pot once the rice cooker is done or the bottom of your rice will get a bit burnt if you leave it in keep warm mode for too long. The mid and premium end brands won’t burn your rice even if its on keep warm mode for hours.

    Keep warm mode is what rice cookers go into once they finish cooking the rice and give you the rice cooking finished signal.


  • The thread you are replying to is discussing whether or not it can ever be more ethical to not slack off at work while working for a large organization.

    Given that context, your comment can be taken as you saying there is no such large organization that is more ethical to not slack off at work for, as there is no large organization that is kind.

    I am providing examples of large organizations that I find more ethical to not slack off while working for. I was not trying to provide examples of large organizations that are kind.
