if it isn't a zojirushi youre wasting your time, and always buy the nicest one you can afford. they will last for years and years. I have a 12 year old zojirushi that shows no signs of needing to be replaced yet and gets used 4+ times a week

Zojirushi or Panasonic. Preferably from Japan. Find the size that meets your consumption needs.

One advantage is that some include a separate tray for steaming vegetables, allowing you to multitask.

Well worth it if you eat a lot of rice. Very simple to use, keeps warm until the rest of dinner is done. We buy cheap ones and treat them as disposables. We get about 2-3 years out of them then they get all banged up and buy a new one.

If you have an instant pot they work just as well as a dedicated rice cooker. I did replace the bowl with a non-stick bowl from Amazon as the stainless bowl was a pain to clean after rice.

Instant pots work much better than rice cookers. None of that crust on the bottom, no bubbling starch everywhere.

One less thing that requires attention during prep. Make sure you get the correct voltage. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: She uses a rice cooker though, right? Has 2, one regular size for everyday use and a bigger one for parties? She doesn't, which I always thought was weird. We do have a zojiroshi (highly recommended), but she uses it more like a crock pot, if she wants the rice ready when she gets home. Other than that, her preference is in a pan on the stove. |

Quoted: need to eat/use the stock pile that I bought during the start of the covid panic & I need to save some money eating some cheap meals.... I can cook a pot of rice on the stove - would a rice cooker be worth while? What Does the Hive recommend or say? Thank you in advance.... Red Goto your local HMart, buy rice maker and bag of 50lb rice. Wash rice to get starch off. 1/3 rice, 2/3 water. Push button and wait. Wait several minutes before serving once cycle is complete. Perfect every time. This a good one and will last forever. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00007J5U7?tag=arfcom00-20 |

Zojirushi is the best.
Cook rice, oatmeal, grains. One button and you are done. |

Honestly, most of the name brand rice cookers do a great job. Just make sure you read the directions if you are using different types of rice.
If your going to be cooking a lot of rice, all the time, may as well go for the best and get a Zojirushi Rice Cooker. |

I have an Aroma that I got from Wallyworld back in college. It’s probably not Tier 1 but it works and I use the shit out of it. Definitely recommend getting one.

A good rice cooker shouldn't produce any curst or any bubbling starch. sounds like what you were using was getting WAY too hot. my zojirushi has never burned anything, even leaving it on for the full 24 hour cook and keep hot. Makes great oatmeal, congee, rice, steaming veggies...etc all while never burning a thing. |

As said Zojirushi make really nice ones. Kinda spendy though.
I have a an Aroma cheapie digital that works really well, less options than the Zojirushi though.  Watch a video on how to properly wash rice before cooking and you will never have issues with bubbling starch or scorched rice on the bottom. |

Just get an instapot. They work great and are not a single use item. Rice cookers are essentially instapots..

I've had the same Tiger JNP 3 cup cooker for the last 21 years and it's still going strong. They're like $120 and look like a $20 cooker, but are bulletproof and only have one button. Made in Japan. I can't imagine what I would need with all the electronic displays and buttons that some of these things have - I think some people will buy whatever has the most settings. Makes perfect rice, keeps it ready to go for over 24 hours.

It's called an instapot.  I can even brown/sauté, boil, simmer, yogurt, steam, slow cook, pressure cook, and I think it displays porn on the screen. Technically it's a crockpot express multi-cooker that I have. I liked it better than the instapot brand. I have the big 10 qt. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Instant pots work much better than rice cookers. None of that crust on the bottom, no bubbling starch everywhere. Don’t listen to this man, he does know of what he speaks. No modern rice maker should do that. He isn’t rinsing his rice enough to get rid of the starch coating. You need to scrub it for several minutes to uncoat it. Second most rice cookers are also rice warmers. They will keep rice nice and toasty for several hours or even a day or more. That way you don’t need to eat it all in one day. The newer ones are also multifunction. I cooked a bunch of pork bellies in ours. |

Is it really too much work to boil a pot of water, put the rice in, stir, turn to simmer, put a lid on it and come back in whatever the cook time for your variant of rice is? Literally the easiest thing I make with most meals I cook.

I was fired up to switch from stove top to a rice cooker for preparing rice.
Bought one about 10 years ago and used it exclusively until about 6 months ago. At that time I switched back to a large pot on the stove top and quickly realized that stove top is much faster, less messy and overall much more convenient cleaning up and storing. The quality of the finished product is the same. |

Making stove top rice isn't hard - the real advantage to a rice cooker is that you add rice and water, click a button and you're good to go and you don't have to worry about turning off the stove - and it keeps rice warm for a day. It's like saying "is it really too much work to toast bread in the oven? I don't see why you need a toaster." |
