oh I disagree. boiling water in a pot and you have to watch it but the rice cooke is set it and forget it. Rice cooker is the most often used gadget for us followed by the slow cooker.

Yeah, but if you're cooking a meal it's pretty trivial to time your stove rice properly.

[–] HubertManne@piefed.social 1 points 6 hours ago

the rice is the meal. all the cooking is in the cooker. as I said in another one you don't need to time it as it automatically goes into keep warm so you can be 10 or 20 minutes late.

Best thing in my house and the only appliance coming with on the move. I adore my lil rice cooker more than life itself.

Boil, rice in, lid on, low heat for 18 minutes, off for 8 minutes, lid off, fluff with fork. No watching. If you burn some, lower your “low”. If you’re getting crazy and making some basmati or rosematta you just look up how much time your new strain of rice needs. If you have an always-too-hot electric stove I’m sorry I lied; I’ve been there, and I would probably buy a rice cooker too.

Yeah it never works out that way for me for whatever reason although we do currently have electric this was with gas too. Rice cooker is load it and turn on. 30 minutes later hot meal. Always, every time, no further intevention and if you forget it and don't come back for 45mins its in stay warm mode and is fine.
