   @skinnylatte hey so I stumbled randomly across a killer argument for persuading white folks to STFU about rice cookers.

   White people looove food safety. We temp all our proteins against guidelines that guarantee rubbery chicken and dry meat. We rinse our chicken in the sink and use separate boards to cut it on. We slavishly adhere to best before and use by dates.

   So the argument is this: the value of a rice cooker isn't getting the rice cooked, it's keeping the cooked rice at a temperature that prevents B. Cereus producing toxins that will seriously ruin your day.

   I've had B. Cereus poisoning twice, both times from eating the same AirAsia meal, a little foil carton of nasi lemak. Slow learner. Bad times all round.
