+1
Same. The rice maker takes all of the thinking out of it too since it has settings for different types of rice.

I plug it in. I walk away. It turns itself off. It keeps the rice warm. Does your stove do that?
Yep. Love it.
A stovetop maven here—I just don’t find this to be a convenience. I am always cooking something else for dinner in the 20 minutes it takes to make rice, so there is no “walking away” from the kitchen. Also, I used to have a rice cooker and if you did in fact make it early and walk away, the bottom rice would get crusty. Maybe other rice cookers are superior? I gave mine to goodwill.
+1 and some people love the crusty rice. They want that part when I burn it a bit.

1:2 ratio or 1:1.75 water to rice. I never use the rice cooker as too big for the dishwasher. I start the rice first on the stove before I start my mise en place. Otherwise known as curing up the veggies.

I think that was your rice cooker. I’ve made rice up to 3 hours ahead of time to keep on warm and the bottom has not become crusty.

Rice cookers don't cost that much if you want to keep it simple. It can however go up in price, like $100. But, a simple $20 one from Target will do the job if you don't eat rice everyday.
