also genuinely interested in this
i like rice but the one rice cooker someone gave me is absolutely terrible. been using an instant pot for it instead, some people seem to have luck doing that but it's never worked that well for me
ooooh some of these are very pretty
(i mean im sure they function great too but they just look so much nicer than a featureless metal or plastic cylinder)
Honestly if it’s going to be something taking up space in your kitchen every day for years, aesthetics aren’t unimportant, right?
I uh... I still make rice the old fashioned way: three parts rice, six parts water, bring to a boil, then take off the burner and let simmer. :3
honestly there's nothing wrong with the classics! I like the rice cooker because it helps me (and my ADHD) tremendously when there's one less thing to worry about keeping an eye on during cooking, but like. if it ain't broke, etc
I do the old fashioned way except I throw a heaping spoonful of this in: https://www.betterthanbouillon.com/products/roasted-chicken-base/
My zojirushi is the oldest appliance I own. I’ve moved coasts with it twice, it fed me all through my 20s and 30s and now it regularly feeds my kid
They really seem to last forever, huh? I haven't had mine that long but it's never once given me trouble.
as a filipino, im intrigued that there's a "right" rice cooker - we mostly use the simple push button models and they've never failed - although the extra features do sound nice, like doubling as a crockpot
Haha, nothing actually wrong with that kind. But I like the convenience of the keep warm settings, and they're good at cooking different kinds of rice really nicely.
yeah, it does look handy haha. just fire and forget - the one setting cookers can have trouble with red or brown rice, though you get a feel for it after a while
Listen, I'll defend all kinds of rice. I might have my opinions but at the end of the day rice is tasty.
