Finally bought a rice cooker 6 months ago. No idea why I hadn’t done it sooner. Perfect rice every single time. I believe that qualifies.
Edit: I also bought an emergency jumpstart battery for my car. Saved me twice when my battery suddenly started having issues. Went from feeling “stuck” to back on the road in under 2 minutes.
- Cyph0n 2y ago+1 to both. If you want more consistent rice, invest in a fuzzy logic rice cooker ($150-$300).
- etrautmann 2y ago+1 to the Zojirushi neuro fuzzy. It's an unbelievably good product - I've sold four friends on it and nobody has been disappointed. They go on sale for 180 routinely
- _boffin_ 2y agoI find this comment funny. Go to your local grocery store and pick a rice cooker up for $15 and just add the rice and eyeball the water. …that much for a rice cooker—that’s nuts!
- Cyph0n 2y agoIf you’re just starting out, then sure. But if you cook a lot of rice, it’s a noticeable step up in both quality and consistency. They are extremely common in Japan afaik.
- lemme_tell_ya 2y agoWe've used our Zojirushi almost every single day for almost 5 years now. It cooks perfect rice and keeps it warm and fresh for 12 hours. 100% worth the investment.
- rjh29 2y agoAlmost every family in Japan has an expensive rice cooker. They eat rice 2-3 times a day so I trust them. The end result is a lot better, and water is too important to be eyeballed.
- tdeck 2y agoThe thing they don't tell you about the expensive rice cookers is that they take 40 minutes to make rice, while the cheap ones make it in 20. To me it's not worth planning my day around having "perfect" rice, so I still use a cheap one every day :/.
- kadoban 2y agoWhat rice meals are you cooking that take less than 40 minutes anyway? Just start the rice first, before prep, and you should be fine. I just have a cheap rice cooker though. I couldn't find a fancy one that avoids teflon (or other similar) coating that I liked.
- al_borland 2y agoI got a small and cheap one, thinking it would be good for 1 or 2 servings and better than getting the microwave rice. It took an hour, made a mess, and the rice was horrible. I should probably experiment more with it and try different types of rice, but it was such a bad experience I don’t want to use it again. I had a rice cooker a long time ago and it was fine, but it was really too big for my needs. A few months ago I was looking at some of the more expensive ones people see to swear by to see if they could handle small portions and be more clean and reliable. If they are, I think it would be worth the cost.
- riku_iki 2y agois instant pot much more versatile device?
- pajamasam 2y agoI haven't been able to figure out how not to burn my rice in an Instant Pot.
- ElSucioDan 2y agoTook me a while but finally found a consistent way to get it perfect. I use long grain enriched white rice from Costco, wash the excess starch and dump the same amount of rice and water in the pot and let it cook on high for 4 minutes then 10 in low

- slake 2y agoI'm wondering, If I bought an emergency jumpstart battery for my car. Can I run on a failing battery for a lot longer if I just jumpstart it every time I start the car? Usually the highest current draw is for the starting right. Post that it runs just on engine generated power?
