Owning and using a rice cooker is such a time saver that I am often surprised that it's not a staple in other peoples' houses (though much of that is a cultural thing,I eat rice basically every single day) It's like Americans and not owning a kettle. Boggles the mind, but I suppose they don't drink as much tea as I do ... On the topic of _which_ rice cooker to buy, the answer is simple: the rice cooker was perfected years ago, with its double pot single button (on-off switch) operation. Anything else is a gimmick and not worth paying extra for.
