[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Asians use rice cookers because there is a standard for perfectly cooked rice that rice cookers consistently meet[/quote]

I think it’s less about standard for perfectly cooked rice, [b]I am sure they’ve also perfected the method on a stovetop[/b], and more a factor of quantities of rice that are bring prepared. If you ate as much rice op, and cooked it so often, you’d also invest in an appliance.[/quote]

Asian wife and MIL who like to cook every meal from scratch do NOT know how to cook rice not using a rice cooker. and none of their Asian friends do either. i kid you not.[/quote]

I’m Asian. I have made rice 200-250 days of the year for the past 10 years. And I made it daily from ages 5-18 while living with my parents. I have never made it on the stovetop, aside from risotto and paella. And I probably never will.

This also speaks to the longevity and reliability of an appliance that NEVER broke or needed repair. The only reason I bought new rice cookers was to buy bigger ones! [/quote]
