This the nerdiest food channel! Good job tio papi
Now I need to see a fried rice cook off between tio papi and uncle Roger
Crossover comment moment.
I love your work with Nephew Santi lol thank you
Uncle Roger can come back for a re challenge with a Theory on washing Rice with different water Temps from the tap, Using Hot Water /Warm Water/ Cold Water, and washing techniques (ie just rinsing, grinding the rice in your palms in the water etc)
Uncle Roger, ur my Favorit Gast Appearance since Santi Took Over. U two have magical synergy
the collab we never knew we needed
And need more of
Honestly, after seeing so many collabs between Uncle Roger and many hosts from Team Theorists in other channels, it was about time we got this.
Is that peepy itemlabel?
Very unexpected,but definitely what I need today
The peepy profile picture slays
As an Asian I can confirm this theory is awesome
Best comment
As an Asian I approve this message
As another Asian I approve this message as well
As a latina i approve this comment
Same
A fried rice food theory in the style of Matt's best burger theory would be an insane follow-up! Best ingredients, best order to add them in, most ideal cooking surface. We need this follow-up
Agreed. We need this to happen.
Omg yessss
Boost this comment!!
Imagine santi introducing the "we are gonna make the best fried rice recipe, there are a lot of fried recipes" and then uncle roger interrupts "yes, from Jamie Oliver to Uncle Nick to mine, some stinky ones, like Jaimie's"
We really need this. I NEED THIS.
10:50 "He almost want to use racial slur, you know?" is crazy
Considering what Nigel has said on other channels Santi got off easy.
I literally had the same joke in my head I wasn't expecting him to say it💀💀
you know what else is massive LLLLLLLLLOOOOOOOWWWWWW taper fade
IMPORTANT INFO: Many western rice dishes hinge on using the starch from that rice which is why you don't see rice washing as often in classically western rice dishes
Such as risotto.
Casseroles!!
Jambalaya
You should at least clean the rice though. Rice is not in the bag completely clean you need to clean the rice first. You might do that I don't know I've never made rice your way.
While it is true that some western rice dishes utilize the starch, that is also true of many eastern rice dishes. Not washing rice as often in the west is primarily due to less familiarity with rice and laziness. Don’t pretend there is any intention behind it.
Uncle Roger X Food Theorist crossover?!?!
No
No the Lego Memer is better
Why are y’all saying no?
if uncle roger sees this: I Still watch rice to meet u
Santi has made the channel truly his
It's Tio Papi now, remember?
Can't tell if you think that's bad or?
2:47 JAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJA
Oh my god, choosing Tio Papi as his alter ego either the best or the worst desition Santi ever took since he joined theorists
Right?! 😂😂😂 Uncle Daddy?!
@@biancabrooks280 I actually shouted at my screen when he called himself that, "PLEASE do not call yourself UncleDADDY!" XD
It's Santi, it's both. The man only operates in extremes.
uncle roger everywhere
He's doing side quests
0:01 Santi got the baby treatment 😂💀
*Tìo Papi
Have y'all considered doing an episode comparing cheap "college" foods (ramen, rice and beans, lentils, etc)? It would really be helpful for all of us who grew up watching these Theory channels!
Chili mac was my college struggle meal, it holds a special place for me 😭
3:06 was not expecting a Diddy joke on Food theory 😭
pete diddy
The fact of the time I am typing this reply the number of likes on this comment is 69
Hahahaha
Calling yourself Uncle Daddy is insane
I'm glad I wasn't the only one who thought that.
And yet, it works very well with the tone of this episode 😂
😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣
Uncle grandpa
Ive never heard the idea of it removing arsenic. Id always been told you wash it to remove what my family friends called "rice powder" basically all the rice grinding up against each other in the bag coats the rice in a layer of powder thats basically pure starch, and so you rinse it off so that your rice stays more fluffy instead of clumpy
oh
i've also been told about the "rice powder" too haha
@@edzarco6461I Always taught the same plus you wash it and leave it to rest an half hour before cooking so It rehidratates and it cooks evenly as and cereali or legume.
same thing. If the rice is contaminated I doubt a bit of water and my hands swirling it around would do a difference
Not all varieties of rice use the same ratios of rice to water. Always check the directions on the package to get the ratios right.
Who has time to read packaging. Just use feeling 😂
What rice do you get that has directions on the packaging? I have never got directions.
@@Rikushio17 I'm yet to see a package of rice that DOESN'T give ratios or specific instructions, sometimes both.
“I trust you more then I trust P Diddy” is crazy 💀

8:47 first time I heard an Argentinian say SIUUUUU
In the middle of that I got an ad 😂
Hahahaha
See, this is what makes a good food theory, IMO. Taking a simple food item and performing the experiments to determine which method is the best is exactly how you teach people the theory of cooking good at home
Santi and Uncle Roger collabing is something that was not on my bingo card this year but I'm all for it!!
This is one of the craziest crossovers in history. Too bad MatPat wasn't part of this video
Ikr
Pour one out for Matpat.🫗
I love so much how the second Santi had hope in the video, Uncle Roger would come crashing it down 😂
4:46 "We don't spit here. Spitters are quitters" I bet that would have broken MatPat 😂
10:50 HELP- 😭😭😭
You should do a second version of this for short grain rice 👍🏻 The long grain rice is supposed to be less sticky, while short grain is supposed to be more, so would these tests be scoring different for, say, Japanese rice, versus Jasmine rice?
Plus Jasmin unwashed rice Is vile, you can really tell when you wash it good and when it' s Just rapidly rinse
The way they feed each other is hilarious
In my opinion Food Theory is 100% the best Theory channel EVER!
I agree.
good oppinion
True
It’s definitely the best of the four going right now
He never fails to eat the rice
2:59 learning about new ways to improve your food is the best channel to have on UA-cam. I enjoyed the video it was funny and knowledgeable at the same time.
This is going to be fun😂😂😂
1:35 NOT THE TFS REFERENCE😭😭😭😭😭
I clicked on this video with Cell's Perfect Song stuck in my head
I’m so happy about that reference!😂
Atleast he hasn't gone on about square and circles
Now he needs to make a video about making a muffin button
We need the Food Theory vs Uncle Roger Iron Chef Fried Rice Battle!
i was not expecting uncle roger in food theory at all
10:03 actually it’s because arsenic was used in pesticides in cotton fields which after sharecropping ended became rice paddies please cook your rice like pasta if you suspect it’s form Arkansas- an Arkansan 🤓
Do you mean “from”? 🤨 -a Kansan, because Ar-Kansas is inferior (I’m only kidding, love all around ☺️)
Cook your rice like pasta? What do you mean?
This is probably gonna be my favorite colab of 2025.
Agreed
Rice
True
First Rice 🎉
You were first
Rice
Yummy rice
The DBZA reference got me. I wasn't prepared x'D
The video i didn't know i needed but is the best thing ever
I'm surprised you didn't include steaming rice as a cooking method! Bamboo steamers seem to be a really popular rice prep method in a lot of places. I've also seen some people boil rice specifically in a huge amount of water, and then strain off the excess water when the rice has finished cooking. If you really want to test all rice cooking methods though, there's also slow cookers and solar ovens, both of which might take longer and might affect the texture of the rice due to that lower slower cooking. I've even seen people cook rice in an electric oven, so I know that there have to more underutilized methods of making rice out there for you to try out. I kind of want to see you redo this test with all of those other methods included. It'd also be a nice excuse to see more Uncle Roger again. :) Loved y'all's banter. 😂 Btw, microwaved rice would probably taste less like chemicals if you went with quick cooking rice instead and microwaved it in a bowl, rather than using the kind in a plastic pouch.
santi will be emotionally damaged when this video gets demonetized
This is honestly one of the best collabs, I love seeing uncle Roger on Food Theory
I live in a country where almost every Gen Z knows uncle roger and seeing him on food theory of all places is insane
4:48 I'm noticing that episodes are getting more raunchy now that MatPat's gone.
You mean the same man who wore candy underwear?
And the same man who did the math to find out what luigi was packing?
dont forget the time matpat rated animated female chests
"Our udders are full. Milk us."
Notably, in Cajun cooking, we always use a 2:3 rice-water ratio. Its great
That's actually how I cook my rice in a pressure cooker.
The collab I never knew I needed, if only MatPat was here I'd give this a 10/10
0:51 The dish soap is diabolical💀
You're diabolical. Jk
The person who washes rice with dish soap also works for a diabolical company (atleast he used to)
when you fed him and said you were uncomfortable 😂 I wish Josh and Ollie from jolly weren't as comfortable eating after each other as they are😂😂😂😂
lol and here I thought I was the only one who thinks this way 😂😂😂
the most wholesome uncle roger video
1:22 Real " NOBODY BELIEVES IN YOU. WHAT ARE YOU PREPARED TO DO ABOUT IT? DONT LET ANYONE COME INTO YOUR HOUSE, TAKE YOUR MEAL!!!!" Energy
Santi getting to flex! Making theorists proud.
This feels more like a Cooking Channel Diss Track than a scientific experiment.
As an Asian I have never heard of this theory before
Which one? Pretty sure everyone in Asia know about the finger method and wash the rice
YES!!! I have waited for Uncle Rodger collab! Love it! Keep it up ♥♥♥
3:23 BoWn cHiCa WoW wOw
Needs no introduction? I’m glad you did because I needed it
4:34 British 🤝 Asians: makes fun of Americans
One thing my mom always stressed was to soak the rice in water before cooking after washing to improve results
3:05 dang burn
i kept skipping through the intro, then the video ended
it's important to note the amt of water req varies w/rice type
Very true. Short grain rice requires less water than long grain.
Nah, you only use feelings
1:40 the android 16 TFS reference i never expected X D
I love how Santi has personality.
rare footage of uncle roger not wearing an orange polo.
8:06 Tio Papi WHAT
It's more of a texture thing IMO whether or not you wash the rice.
It's not removing a lot of starch but is removing loose starch that will instantly mix into the water.
If you rinse until the water is clear, you are starting with no starch in the water. There will still be starch leeching into the water as it cooks, but the less starchy the water the less your rice sticks together.
As the video shows it barely matters and uncle roger couldn't tell the difference
Different rice types will require different amounts of water. But if you're measuring, it's usually 2 cups of water for the 1st cup of rice and then for each cup of rice after that it's usually 1:1 water to rice.
Do you mean the first cup as in the American/ British cup, or do you mean a liter cup/ small bowl of various sizes you use to take the rice?
@inteallsviktigt neither. I mean the first cup sequentially.
Did NOT expect this episode to have so much fanfic inspiration. Why did they make blind food tasting such a sensual scenario
Another point to never eat microwaved rice: THE RICE IS YELLOW, FRIKIN YELLOW!! 4:29 LOOK AT IT AND TELL ME IT'S EDIBLE I DARE YOU!
Just because it's edible doesn't mean it's good.
@ranonadg nor is it healthy
FINALLY the collab we've all been hoping for. I'll be watching this with my lady once we get done cooking dinner
All my interests are colliding.
The internet is now a giant circle.
Food Theorists have on Uncle Roger and make a Dragon Ball Z Abridged joke.
AliciaxDeath has recently started reacting to Uncle Roger and has also recently befriended Takahata101, one of the creators of DBZA (and she is also reacting to that series)
Next thing i know Taka is gonna randomly befriend Nigel and theyre gonna make a Food Theorists joke on Alicia's channel for a true UA-camception.
"It's SO orange, there are other colors am I right?" is near exactly what Android 16 says about Goku in the TFS Abridged Dub, I doubt it was an intentional reference, but if it was. Props to you!
I hope clips from this video get taken randomly out of context
1:36 that TFS reference was all I needed to binge the entire series again
What about soaking the rice before cooking? I usually soak the rice for like 20-40 minutes before cooking.
Why?
why?
Why?
That is usually for Japanese rice, don't know why though
@@Username0467 If I recall correctly, it's for even cooking. If you just pour water on top of the rice in the cooker, the rice at the bottom absorbs water faster due to it being closest to the heat source, resulting in inconsistency in the rice. Soaking the rice first maximizes the water content of the rice so that it needs to absorb less, and therefore makes it more uniform as the water heats up. It also reduces the margin of error regarding how much water you need. That's my understanding, anyway.
Every food channel will eventually interact with Uncle Roger.
Tìo papi translated is uncle father. Let that sink in
4:45 "Spitters are quitters!" - Santi "That what I tell my wife that why she leave me"- Nigel NG 🤣💀
Uncle Roger food theory video? Fuiyohhhhh!
Never thought food theory and uncle roger would ever collab finally it happened a collab between two legendary youtube channels
Having too little water is easily mitigated by soaking the rice before cooking. In general, it really helps simplify how much water you need without measuring anything.
Santi can finally make that good old fried rice theory
Uncle Roger acting normal for 15 minutes? BLASPHEMY!
The Uncle Roger takeover is so funny
Food Theory is still by far my favorite channel
E
Sorry children, this episode not for you.
Bro sounds like he could tell you that "you have EMOTIONAL DAMAGE"
Why did they replace santi with this "tio papi" person if that even is his real name.
Finally! So glad for this collab!
9:35 - I was hoping he'd make an appearance :D
I can still hear him 😂
bro this is nerdy yet funny, in a way that is balanced, this is the stuff I need in my life
ah yes your name is now "uncle daddy"
i mean tio papi
I knew for years I needed this collab
13:08 If you hate the microwave so much, why do you even own one Santi?
To microwave other things and for the video
He hates microwave rice not microwaves in general which tracks as the microwave was designed to reheat food not cook it
All microwaves do is agitate the water creating heat through atomic kinetic energy. It can cook just as equally well as anything.
The thing is it doesn't cook as evenly because some parts don't have moisture and some does
Rice absorbs flavors, microwave rice absorbs the flavor of the plastic
Two amazing channels! the colllab we never knew we needed!
Under a minute gang👇
Yeshor
Calling Santi “Tio Papi” is going to be my whole character this 2025
This is the best collab of this month
Okay hear me out, I love all four theory channels, but food theory has got to be my favorite!! Or maybe I’m just always hungry and like to see food, who knows. Nonetheless this channel never fails to entertain me and this collab was the cherry on top!
This collaboration was amazing! Loved it!
This might be the best “And that’s just a theory” in Theorist history (not counting Mat’s goodbye)
Ever since I got a rice cooker I have to say that it is a massive difference and so much more convenient too
The microwave rice once literally sent me to the hospital because it kicked my Crohn’s into high gear
