[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When cooking rice is so easy to make on the stovetop? Why an extra appliance? The rice literally cooks itself to perfection in about 10 minutes. I can make enough for one serving in a small saucepan, or enough for a small army in a large pot, and anything in between. Is it simply because people don’t want to watch for the pot to boil? What am I missing?[/quote]

I can make the same argument for garbage disposals, but I’ll bet most people here couldn’t imagine life without one. My sil paid for an emergency plumber on Christmas Day to come repair hers when it went out, which astounded me. I’m Asian. I use my rice cooker almost daily. It makes brown rice, mixed rice, coconut rice, sushi rice, basmati rice, rice with beans, biryani, congee, noorungji, and a million more uses that I haven’t gotten around to. It will keep rice hot for hours, so I can start the rice before leaving the house and it will be hot and ready 8 hours later. It sings a little song when I start it and when it finishes. I have never made rice on the stovetop (and never will!)
