and I will warn you, Get a rice cooker thats one step bigger than what you think you need, cause once you get used to having it, you'll end up making more rice and rice dishes cause its become so damn easy to make rice, and the last thing you want is to be limited by the tiny 2 cup rice cooker that you bought.
Totally not personal experience. (it is, its totally personal experience)
I did the same but went with an instapot since it can do rice too and I hate one trick appliances. Started off with the tiny one and then realized I cooked dang near everything in there after a while.
While I normally agree, I make rice so much with other things, it would be a hindrance to have to use my multi use stuff just for rice all the time.
ricecookers arent a single task appliance. You can make a lot of other things in them.
I'm sure it's possible to cook other things depending on the model. A lot of the one's I ran across where more on/off/time basic ones though. Having a bunch of settings and other options is kind of a pre-req for something that I'm likely to have out as a permanent counter resident, so individual needs vary. Had an old oster kitchen center for a while that was great for that reason until the motor burned out.
If we're giving out Rice Cooker tips: wash your rice before you put it in there. I use a sieve and a potato masher under the tap to squeeze the starch out. My rice has never been sticky since I started doing this, and now my "dish" that I bring to cook outs is my rice.
I second this.
