This is one I thoroughly do not understand, maybe because I have not tried it, but cooking rice is already so easy, why would i need a separare appliance for it?
Plug n play. No overcooked rice forever
I guess, overcooking is a measurement problem anyway tho.
my take is, if you are alone in the kitchen and doing multiple cooking tasks. then you have one less thing to worry about.
it is also good because even children can operate the rice cooker. so you can assign that very easy task to a person with little to no experience and just a minimum of instructions.
1.wash rice
2.measure water by cups
I have one and it's a little easier to prepare, keep warm, and clean. If you eat a lot of rice, it's worth it.
I thought the same thing for 20+ years. A nice rice cooker is great though. Ours has a yumcarb setting that my wife likes, which has a separate basket with holes in it. Most of the starch leaks out of the rice and pools below it.
I have a tiny kitchen so I appreciate being able to conveniently cook rice in the corner of one countertop, especially when I'm cooking with two pans on the stove.
