Predictably, to anyone who understands how a rice cookers (or tiktok cuts) work, this is staged.

You're not going to get rice that well covered in a rice cooker with that thin liquid. Also, because you're altering the content of your liquid, that basic* rice cooker will not cook your rice properly, since entry level rice-cookers rely solely on the boiling temp of water to judge when rice is done.

Your veg are also going to be a mess, with your leafy greens going to mush before your carrots and edamame are done

That being said...

This works. It is suboptimal and will produce 5/10 results, but if you are out of spoons, this is a totally viable method. Your rice will be ehn, and wildly differently seasoned, your veg will have disconcertingly different levels of crunch, but it will feed you easily and well, with minimal food waste (see below for why there will be waste).

My objection here is that this is glamorizing something that people NEED and WILL NOT BE ABLE TO ACHIEVE. You wanna know what this looks like when you don't have $2000 cameras and a whole-ass corporate production team**? My boy FutureCanoe has you. Don't get down when you don't get her results.

*no hate for basic rice cookers, everyone should have one. but you should also understand how they work. pegao is one thing, burnt salty-ass rice is another

**in Ms. Sakaida's defense, I believe she has her heart in the right place and is just too tiktokbrained to get why this... isn't useful to many people, let alone the people who need it most. Also, that video is edited and misattributed by someone for who-knows what reason - probably racism or trying to drive content to their own tiktok that's spamming that search from a basic look-through. Here is her actual tiktok

Kylie Sakaida, MS, RD: If you are not freezing your rice, this is your sign to start. I'm a dietician and welcome back to realistic nutrition tips. If you love having grains like rice and quinoa with your meals but it takes too long to cook, freeze them in portions and heat them up later. You might have heard that reheating rice is dangerous and can make you sick because of bacteria called Bacillus cereus which can cause vomiting and diarrhea, also popularly known as fried rice syndrome. But this has been blown way out of proportion. And I say this as someone who's obsessive about food safety, is ServSafe certified, took many food science courses, is Asian, and has thoroughly studied every single type of food poisoning since I used to be an extreme emetophobic and stuff like this used to keep me up at night. It's not the reheating of the rice that makes people sick, it's all about how it was stored beforehand. After you make something like rice just don't leave it out for too long at room temperature because that's what makes any food, not just rice, riskier to eat because bacteria can grow more rapidly at those temperatures. All you have to do is cool your rice and portion it out. I'm using these 1 cup silicone molds so portions are easier to manage. Then I just freeze them. I'll do this for my leftover rice so I don't waste food and so I don't have to cook rice every time I want to eat it. I'll just add it to my rice container and whenever I want rice, I'll just pop it in the microwave.

[Kylie takes a chopstick full of reheated rice.]

Kylie: Mm. Freeze your rice.

Kylie: If you like salads but hate preparing them this video is for you.

[Kylie chops lettuce in the veggie chopper.]

Kylie: I'm a dietitian and welcome back to realistic nutrition tips. Instead of taking the time to chop everything individually just add everything to a veggie chopper.

[Kylie chops some more lettuce in the veggie chopper.]

Kylie: And don't empty it along the way just make your entire salad in here. This video will have an easy chopped salad without the mess and 5energy of preparing it.

[Kylie chops some cucumber in the veggie chopper.]

Kylie: There's this girl on here that's been doing this and I think it's an excellent tip for people with ADHD, people with chronic illness, and people who just don't like to chop things or wash dishes.

[Kylie chops some cherry tomatoes in the veggie chopper.]

Kylie: I've had my veggie chopper for more than two years and this really helps me get in more vegetables.

[Kylie chops some baby carrots in the veggie chopper.]

Kylie: Like having my whole salad in here is just so helpful. Also salad just hits different when it's chopped, I don't make the rules.

[Kylie chops half an avocado in veggie chopper.]

Kylie: Also gonna add some grilled chicken because it chops that too and also I want some protein.

[Kylie chops some grilled chicken in the veggie chopper.]

Kylie: After you're done add your toppings. I'm adding some feta, some sunflower seeds, and my dressing. Now I'm just gonna put this [lid] back on and give this a shake.

[NOW SHAKE IT UP!]

Kylie: And now you have an easy chopped salad. Such a quick salad and so easy to prepare.

[Kylie takes a forkful of her chopped salad.]

Kylie: Mm.

Day 11 of realistic nutrition tips

Kylie: Confession: The idea of cooking a whole meal from scratch every night is so overwhelming. So this what I do to make busy weeks easier. I'm a dietician and welcome back to my series, Realistic Nutrition Tips. Today we're making a dump and go meal. So basically you just dump everything in a freezer bag, freeze it, thaw it, and then just dump it in the slow cooker when you want a meal. And before someone says, "how does this make things easier if you're already cooking?", when you have kids, or a busy life, or a chronic illness, executive dysfunction, the best thing you can do to set yourself up for success is to prepare ahead of time when you do have the capacity to take on extra tasks. So today I'm gonna make my lazy beef and broccoli kind of meal? I added boneless chuck roast, [1 cup] soy sauce, [2 cups] beef broth, [4 minced] garlic cloves, [1 tbsp] grated ginger, [2 tbsp] sesame oil, [and 1/2 cup] brown sugar. I'm just gonna kind of mix this around. Add some veggies, I chose broccoli. You can do frozen or fresh whatever is more accessible to you, and that's it. You can also write instructions if you want to make it easier for your future self to remember, but all I have to do is thaw this overnight and then throw it in my slow cooker on high for 4 hours and then enjoy with rice. Easy.

Meal prep but instead of getting icked out by a 3 day old meal in your fridge, you have a fresh, hot meal on a busy day with minimal work involved ☺️ This tip can be helpful for so many people! Whether you have limited time, mobility, energy, or money, freezer “dump” meals can be lifesavers on a busy week Note: If you have the extra energy/time, you can wait to add in your broccoli and a cornstarch slurry (mixed together 1/4 c cornstarch + 1/2 c water) 30 min before the slow cooker is done so your broccoli is greener/crisper and so your sauce is thicker!

Kylie: As most of us know, I have ADHD and this is my simple trick for getting more veggies throughout the week. I'm a dietician and welcome back to episode 10 of realistic nutrition tips. Make a veggie tray that you can easily snack on throughout the week. So let me show you what I'm gonna put in my weekly veggie tray this week. This week I'm having carrots, cucumber, bell peppers, celery, and tomatoes. And for the dip I made my favorite cottage cheese dip for more protein. I will not stop talking about this dip because even if it had no nutritional value, I would still be eating this dip by the spoonful. I know it looks big but this fits in the fridge. And if you wanna grab something, it's just so easy to snack on and the fiber and protein from this will keep you satisfied. This doesn't have to be every snack of course, but it lowers the activation energy needed if you just want something easy and nutritious.

Kylie: This is one of my favorite meal prep tools. I'm a dietician and this is episode 9 of realistic nutrition tips. Instead of freezing your soup in larger batches, it can be easier to pour them into these portioned 1 cup silicon molds

[Text above her states "(This is NOT sponsored)".]

Kylie: so you can easily pop them out and heat them up for a convenient meal when you are too lazy to cook. It's honestly so much easier than freezing them in bags or plastic containers which makes me much more likely to use them. You can use them for leftovers, mini loaves, sauces, and many other foods.

There are days when making an entire meal seems overwhelming so I default to the most convenient option: frozen food. Though I’ve froze soups in plastic bags and plastic containers before, I find it much easier to simply pop out an individually-portioned “soup cube” to microwave or heat on the stovetop.

Before you ask, this is NOT sponsored (I just really like the product)! They’re BPA free, dishwasher safe, and oven safe (not the lid) up to 415˚F. I linked them in my Amazon storefront if you wanted try them out!

Day 5 of realistic nutrition tips

Kylie: I'm a dietician and this is day 5 of realistic nutrition tips. And this is more related to cooking because sometimes the key to good nutrition is taking steps to learn how to make home cooking more manageable. So whenever you're preparing vegetables keep a mini garbage can or bowl next to you. This is mine.

[Kylie shows a small white plastic garbage can to the camera by holding the garbage can by its handle.]

Kylie: It opens really easily and I use a biodegradable bag.

[Kylie opens the garbage can to the camera to reveal the light greenish-blue plastic bag inside before going back to shaving carrots.]

Kylie: I know it sounds unnecessary but it ca be the difference between taking a long time to clean up after cooking and saving some time by just emptying a little garbage can or bowl after you've prepped everything. If you have a biodegradable bag, you can compost the scraps or you can save the scraps and make a nutritious broth.

[Text above her states "Rachel Ray also popularized this kitchen trick in the 2000s".]

Kylie: My parents have been doing this for as long as I can remember

[Text above her states "It also saves you steps from running back and forth to your (actual) garbage can!!".]

Kylie: and it helps me cooking a little easier because then you won't have to clean up as much afterwards. Try it out. I promise it's worth it.

Here is a comment thread that I think is helpful.

Comment from @/runyuanchen6286 that is ❤️ by Kylie Sakaida, MS, RD (@/NutritionByKylie): Yas i do this too! A side note tho, biodegradable and compostable are actually not the same thing, the word “compostable” is regulated but “biodegradable” is not, so if you buy biodegradable bags, u may not be able to treat them like compost and end up creating more wastes (e.g. bury them in ur backyard, send them to local composter, etc.)

Comment by @/alim.9801: Thank you for the info!! I have a patio finally and I want to try composting but if I didn't see this I probably would have been in trouble lol

Comment by @/corylcreates: Also: Some compostable products are only compostable in municipal/city/large-scale compost too (like the kind I get) compared to backyard/small-scale composting.

Kylie: I'm a dietician and this is day 4 of realistic nutrition tips. If you're like me, the sheer idea of gathering ingredients for smoothies in the morning to make a smoothie can sometimes be overwhelming. So I like to make it easier for my future self by doing this. It's as simple as portioning out your ingredients to freezer friendly containers. I'm adding frozen blueberries, strawberries, bananas, almond butter, and spinach. All you have to do is store them and when you're ready, add your protein like Greek yogurt and/or liquid, blend, and you have your smoothie. It only takes a few minutes to prep each week but it goes a long way on those lazy mornings.

[Text in front of her states "Follow for more".]

Pinned by Kylie Sakaida, MS, RD (@/NutritionByKylie): I linked the containers I used in my Amazon storefront for those interested! They're 32 oz and dishwasher safe, microwave safe, stackable, and reusable!

Comment by @/omghi95: Where is the storefront link? I don't see it in the description. Also can you store the containers in the freezer and freeze the spinach?

Reply by @/NutritionByKylie: https://www.amazon.com/shop/nutritionbykylie And yes!

End of comment thread. For those that are wondering, it may be the one called "Elegant Disposables (32 Ounce 10 Pack) Clear Twist cap Containers With Screw on Lids Twist Top Food Storage Freezer Containers".

However you don't have to buy this specific brand and/or buy from Amazon, you can also buy and/or use any freezer containers near you.

This is her youtube channel, and she's also releasing a cook book next year! I absolutely love her and how honest she is with her struggles with eating and such. Definitely check her out.
