00:23 How do you safely cool down food and avoid leftover rice syndrome?
17:10 Why do East Asians eat out at restaurants way more than Westerners?
42:20 What are you gonna do with the rest of your life, young man?
38:59 hate to disappoint your sponsors but i watch your videos coz I'm a bit jobless for two years now so since i sit around the house all day I might as well cook for the family.
We went from rice to Universal pre-K? I'm out ✌
Hi Adam. You might not see this but i want to tell you that i use skills that i have learned though your videos every day when i cook for my family.
Even if i look at other recepiesas well, you have build a solid foundation of understanding food for me to stand on.
I would love to give a cookbook, filled with your way of explaining cooking, to my brothers. But i understand that you cant do everyting with the limited number of days in a year.
Take care of yourself, your family and dont over work. You dont owe us, we owe you.

Old guys can make great rock, if you make it, be sure that you will have at least one listener
If I can look at the thing and smell it without being even a little grossed out, I call it good. It’s worked pretty well so far.
Is there conclusive evidence Kinder garden really helps
I think ole Wally fantasizes about taking Adam under his wing.
Is it because I’m stoned or is this the deepest shit ever?
"everything is expensive in Japan" I assume you get your information from those $200 watermelon YouTube vids. Raw food, meals, especially healthy options were actually way less expensive in japan than anything here in the states that I've seen.
You will be missed when the times come for you to retire. Your podcast has been really insightful.
I leave cooked rice in my zojirushi rice cooker for up to 48 hours with no issues. I love that thing.
i hate podcast. why do i love your videos so much. 😀
Setup fan when you do meal prep, fan the food out before you close the lid and put in fridge. It prevents your food from getting soggy, even if you plan to microwave later
I was still listening… I completely understand why you don't want to be on a Gordon Ramsay cooking competition.
Hmmm… Adam Ragusea you're a wise man …
I see you're more science than cusine😊
I have an absolutely crazy idea for you on the subject of "less, not more" in terms of your potential digital cookbook… hire someone to do it.
Pre-packaged food is only cheaper up front. The bulk of the expense happens a decade later when your health starts failing and you're stuck with the most expensive healthcare on the planet.
The method we use to cool food before storing in the fridge is to fill the kitchen sink with some cold water, drop the warm metal pot into the sink, then add ice cubes or ice packs into the sink water. Don’t put a piping hot pot in the water since it can warp your pot/pan.
Most of it comes back to established gut biome, south pacific islanders leave rice or too. As a westerner I leave my rice for 2 days and have no issues but this practise took time to adjust to.
Always was your rice
Could get a ghost writer
No, JW is not cool, he just seems cool. He is a pretentious hipster brat with an iceberg sized self-admiration….though I watch and like (if not hate-love) him/his content. And NO! You are in deed cool since you are honest. And you know music. I want to see JW try to play any instrument. #notahatecomment #notakevin. YOU ARE COOL! No debate!
P.S. if you ever decide to be stranded in İstanbul, please inform me. I am not connected but at least I, and my wife, can provide you a warm and dry place to stay…with a kitchen. See? East (ok at least the begging of), communialism.
Did the thumbnail with the text "rice poisoning" make anyone else out there think of Ralphie in A Christmas Story when he has the fantasy of going blind and returning home to his parents?
It, it was….. rice POISONING!
I think it's a little ironic that you call out the eurocentricism at 20:37and then give very Old-World centric analysis of the development of culinary culture and grains; even mentioning that Corn/Maize is technically a more nutritionally dense grain then rice, but leaving it out of the discussion because it only entered the Old World due to the Columbian exchange despite it's widespread use by civilizations and empires in Mesoamerica and the Andes and various other societies across the Americas. I realize good sources on Precolumbian history and archeology can be difficult to locate for most people (I have the inverse issue, since Mesoamerica is my passion), but I've noticed this is a broader pattern where you tend to give very fleshed out historical context for topics from Europe, the Near East, Asia, or the Postcolumbian americas, etc, but videos which deal with stuff from the Precolumbian Americas tends to have much more superficial historical tangents in your videos or lack them at all.
3:55 Our toddlers don't belong to the government, Adam. You live on a different planet from normal Americans.
Love the podcast. No dying yet, please 😉
Hey just cool the rice down in cold water after cooking drain then refrigerate immediately lasts for days only reheat what your going to eat…simpleS
I have never heard of getting sick from rice… personally ive never gotten ill from leftover rice.
Idk if someone else has said this, but regarding creating a cookbook: why not focus on techniques while attaching somewhat simple recipes as examples and practice?
I would personally really enjoy content similar to what you make, but regarding music.
What the fuck is leftover rice syndrome
I love that you said that the kindergarten started in Germany and me being from Wisconsin am like "hey buck-o, kindergarten started in Wisconsin" but then I searched and either didn't pay attention very well (most likely) or I was lied to (less likely) and it turns out it did start in Germany AND the first kindergarten in the US was in Wisconsin. Good thing I didn't put my foot in my mouth.
I believe many Bacillus bacteria form endospores. Another example you'll probably have heard of is anthrax.
I believe it is a federal law in the U.S. that every town of 500 people or more must have a Dollar General.
I really wanna see Adam compete on the Great British Bake Off
Looking forward to "A defence of white potatoes"
rice gang
Very interesting topic, but the 1 hour duration makes it very daunting to even click on.
Actually the original reason cities built those huge wall was to control flooding. Keeping out invaders was a side-benefit.
I would eat out if it was good, cheap, and close by. Eating in the US isn't any of those things. For how busy we are, it would be much better to just pass by and eat something quick and fresh
Scam alert! Yesterday, after I posted a comment, someone contacted me on this channel to tell me that I’ve won a blender. This person who was pretending to be Adam, asked me to communicate with him via telegram. The address is not the same as adam’s public telegram address, the photograph however is Adams’. I was asked to send £124 to cover the shipping fee via PayPal friends and family. I stupidly did that. I was then asked to pay an extra $100 for tracking number. That’s when I realised that I’ve been scammed. I don’t know if this person has hacked the YouTube channel or my phone. I have no idea. Anyway, I lost the money. As pay pal won’t refund. I’ve been stupid. I didn’t even need a blender. I did not post my original comment with any transactional arrangement in mind. I was simply expressing my genuine feeling and yet it all got corrupted and I went along with it moronically
So I usually make my rice, lay it flat on a plate to cool down. Maybe like, 15-25 minutes. Then I wrap it up and put it in the fridge overnight, make fried rice the next day. Am I putting myself at risk doing like that? Fried rice is BEST with leftover rice
I was really stoked to hear that someone else finds Gordon Ramsey's TV persona distasteful. Like you said, he could be a great guy IRL, but watching a boss scream at his employees turns my stomach.
I Am Going to disagree with you when you say that its enviable That some young whipper snapper from Tik Tok is Going to replace you. There are certain things in life that only get better with time. there are certain skills that only become more apparent how good someone is at it once you compare them to the field. Based what I've seen and experienced there is a level of greatness and tangible Difference to what you do that makes you timeless. Keep on making content that makes you happy and you can never be matched. that's the magic of what you do. I think you'll be in the lexicon forever my friend.
When I first heard Americans are getting food poisoning from eating fried rice made from leftover rice, I was shocked. That's how we make use of leftover rice at home and we live in the tropics. Maybe we're just immune to rice poisoning? Also, we add a bit of vinegar when cooking the rice the first time.
Adam is a rich resource of so much fascinating, wide ranging information. I am fortunate to have stumbled across his channel.
