"adhere"

[edit]

The article includes this line: "employing some technique for achieving cooked grains that do not adhere"

I believe, based on the linked source/comment, that "adhere" is referring to keeping the rice from sticking together. But the word "adhere" is commonly used in other senses - such as, to adhere to a set of rules. I actually don't think the meaning of "adhere" in this sentence is totally obvious. As someone who is not a cooking or rice expert, at first I thought it was referring to some set of rules for what pilaf is/how it should be cooked, instead of about the physical sticking together of grains of rice.

Perhaps we could consider using a different word or way of phrasing this, if anyone has any ideas.

IP editors

[edit]

I just realized that IP editors, among which are notably @2A00:23C4:7889:4001:CD56:74B1:CCCE:62FF: have been removing sourced content and changing the preferred spelling (which is pilaf (the US spelling), followed by pilau (the UK and Commonwealth). The main caretaker of this page user:IamNotU has not been active since last October. But there are others: user:RegentsPark, user:Gotitbro, and user:Serols who are around. Please continue to keep an eye on the page. (We went through much heartache to get it right once.) Thanks. Fowler&fowler«Talk» 04:05, 28 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Can not perform any reverts on this page

[edit]

This page has been recently edited by a disruptive editor, but I can not perform any revert on this page as all revisions of this page purportedly contain "a new external link to a site registered on Wikipedia's blacklist or Wikimedia's global blacklist." I am not trying to introduce any new external link, so I don't know what any of this is about. Uness232 (talk) 12:40, 29 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
