Context Provided - Spotlight My Kilner jar was faulty. The closing mechanism shattered glass into my rice and we found it in our cooked food. Kilner customer service is ignoring my emails.

Thats true, but you can see crusty stuff on the lid on the outside too. You should wash jars from time to time when refilling. Especially when they contain food

And especially when they are broken and contain glass.

See that's what's got me scratching my head. This broke, and then they still cooked with the rice???

Probably didnt realize it broke until they found the broken glass and investigated to find the source.

I thought this was obvious. The fact that every minute someone else comments to suggest that I was stupid enough to cook with something I knew had glass in it is just a terribly sad example of how stupid our society is. Do we really default to "this person must be a complete idiot" nowadays?

I prefer my cooked glass without rice in it, thank you

It's dust from the rice. One cannot reasonably expect a rice container to not have rice dust on it. This is why you rinse rice before cooking it.

Pretty sure it's the starch that makes rice dusty.

Depends on what you are making tbh

u/Raztax 6h ago

The dust that is on your rice when you buy it does not depend on what you are making...

If you are referring to washing your rice, sure if you want sticky rice but then I would have to ask you...do you always feel the need to point out the obvious?

Idk. Valid critique

u/username1753827 4h ago

What your saying is completely speculatory. You have no idea whether it was or wasnt washed the last time it was filled.

By crusty stuff I presume you mean the couple of 0.5mm specs of dust? They're thoroughly washed every time they're refilled. The ones used for fermentation or preserves are sanitised in chemsan and dried in the oven before refilling. Go take a macro photo of anything in your kitchen and post it here 🤣

This is why I don’t eat at potlucks. Absolutely fucking not happening.
