Rice cooker is hard to overstate for me. Aside from the obvious use in sterilising covid masks, I eat a lot of rice and use it as a slow cooker as well. Used with a mechanical timer I can set it to soak rice for a few hours and have it cooked just when I need it. What make the difference was buying a proper one with a stainless steel bowl. It was $200 but it's been used about every second day for nearly 10 years now. The non-stick aluminium ones die after less than a year and are flaking delicious fluorocarbon chunks into your food the whole time.
