Grew up with a rice cooker in the house and it was used frequently. I actually didn’t buy a rice cooker as an adult until two months ago - and always made it stovetop. Was resistant and proud to just make it on the stove. Cannot believe it took me so long to buy a rice cooker and wish I’d done it sooner. It just makes it way easier and more reproducible to make perfect rice. Plus some have a steamer tray and other features. Knowing how to make it stove top is a good skill but prefer a rice cooker now. It’s funny though - my family is mixed race with some being Asian and others being from Spain/Western Europe. Rice Can be prepared in so many different ways - paella has its own pan and cooking method that’s just as valid as a rice cooker. They’re just different but rice cooker for daily use for me.
