Vegan Home Cooks
Come join the Vegan Home Cooks!
Participation is really easy, just take a picture of what you cooked today and post it, no recipes needed.
This is a public forum for a discord server of friends who are all vegans and cook at home for their families.
We are here to share some inspiration, to see what others are doing and to stay engaged in something that is both our hobby and a required task.
This forum is not a "food porn" community, a recipe book or a place to teach you how to cook. It is a place for people who already cook to meet other people like themselves and provide on topic support and conversation as much as long distance friends on the internet can do. We are doing show and tell about what we made and we don't care about its instagram worthiness.
Veganism isn’t a diet but I have to eat every day. This is for the vegan home cooks. Anything non vegan will be deleted.
Rules
1. Be Vegan.
If it is not vegan it doesn’t belong here… or anywhere.
2. Post home cooking.
No restaurant or fast food. This is what every other vegan space is about and we don’t want to promote any large or small business tyrants.
We’re an active community of vegan home cooks that like to talk about what we are cooking today.
4. Do not make any rude comments or digs at anyone’s food, cooking style, specific diet, restrictions or technique.
While we are all cooks, we all have different requirements and we’re not asking for help, we are doing show and tell.
5. Do not use trademarked brands
Use generic names. We’re cooking with tvp not whatever business brands it and we’re not trying to turn comrades into billboards. No plant-based vegan-pandering capitalist crap like Impossible, Beyond, Dairy-company owned “vegan” cheese.
6. Do not ask for a recipe without otherwise engaging the OP (No posts that are just “recipe?”)
We are not food bloggers. Sometimes we're excited to share and will tell you the recipes we used but this isn't required. Instead try doing your own research and tell us what you learned and we can talk about it.
7. Careful with making unasked for suggestions.
Sometimes we like to hear suggestions but you should be nice about it and know the person you are making suggestions to. We are in the discord and you can get to know us that way. If you are just a visitor from the fediverse, this isn’t the place for you to start telling other people what to do.
8. Adults Only.
While this isn't a community for adult material we expect everyone who participates to be an adult. If you have a gross and profane username you will be removed.

As I said, get an induction cooker with a timer, and it's the same thing. They're also pretty cheap and occupy little space, so there's literally no excuse to not get one.
Also, I find cleaning a rice cooker vessel more of a hassle, since they're usually bigger in size than a normal pot. As a single person, I only cook one portion of rice at a time so I find most rice cookers way too big for my needs.
Also, most rice cookers these days have non-stick coatings, which isn't good for you or the environment; or they're made of aluminum, which can leach into your food. A stainless steel pot is safer for you, more eco friendly, easier to clean, more versatile, and can last literally your entire life.
It isn't the same thing though because I then need to put away a pot and an induction hob instead of an all in one thing. A steel pot is convenient for you in your use case and I know for a fact it is more work in my life in my use case because I literally was just using one a few weeks ago and getting a new rice cooker has freed up my time.
I cook 3 meals a day for my family and every shortcut helps, using a pot and an hob is not as easy as a rice cooker, I know this from my own experience, further proof is the fact that there are billions of rice cookers in the world and millions of people that agree with me lol.
Stainless steel rice cookers exist. This is the one I have https://www.amazon.com/Aroma-Simply-Stainless-Uncooked-Cooked/dp/B007TNXYYA?source=ps-sl-shoppingads-lpcontext&ref_=fplfs&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&th=1
