My buddy tried the same exact thing last spring. He swore by it for like two weeks, then his rice cooker broke and he just gave up and went back to the microwave cups. Said the savings weren't worth the constant babysitting of the pot.

Not just you, but it's usually grip pressure that sneaks up on you.

Hold on, let me be the contrarian here. Frank gave you advice that worked for one rack of ribs, but that doesn't make it gospel. I've had old timers swear by angles that wrecked my cuts on a different cut of meat or a different knife brand. Maybe you just got lucky that day.

Wow, that's wild... people really just print anything these days.

Hold on, you actually measured a 22% drop just from dust storm residue? That's wild because every single article I've seen quotes that same Nevada lab study like it's gospel. I mean, I get that rain helps clean panels, but the way they present it as a one-size-fits-all number is honestly frustrating for anyone trying to plan around real weather.
