I use mine multiple times a week. I eat more rice since I bought it.
ghostsushi
Always wash your rice. We Asian people don’t know why other people don’t do this.
falconuruguay
JustBoone
Do you like rice? Then get one.
LaredoVox
Personally, I dont like them. A pot works fine and you don't need additional storage for it.
Marwenne
Getting a Zojirushi rice cooker changed my life, no bull. $170 up front, but worth every penny. ᴵᵗ ᵉᵛᵉⁿ ˢᶦⁿᵍˢ ʸᵒᵘ ᵃ ˢᵒⁿᵍ.
Moominmoll
Just started using a zojirushi with IH. Totally worth it although waiting a hour for rice took getting used to

Their bottles/thermos's are spectacular too, Keeps ice in water for like 8 hours. Madness!
Morkath
Yeah, I've had a Zojirushi for 7 years and use it every day.
somnif
I got my Zojirushi for 8$ at a thriftshop! Then spent 40$ getting a new pot for it so I wouldn't constantly be eating teflon flakes....
dinosaurbutt
I'm Chinese and I literally have never seen rice not made in a rice cooker until I came to the US
Keoke
I’m Chinese American and never seen rice not made from a rice cooker.
Piearon
I like my rice cooker. Makes life easy
Neobomberman28
Grew up with one in the house and now that I've got my own place I've been jonesing to get one BUT Asian brand ones are hella expensive yo!
zFUBARz
Zojirushi is life
Neobomberman28
I see nothing incorrect about this response. My cousin was like get an Insta-Pot, it'll do the same. NO...no it will not...Zoji Gang 4 Lyfe!
SickBound
IF you like rice, get a rice cooker.
ThePunishersVengefulBrother
Hells yeah. Bought one on Overstock.com 15 years ago. By far it's my most-used single appliance except the coffee maker.
EviLPaRaDiSe
I have an instant pot. It's great to cook rice in and multifunctional. I've made soups, stews, chicken, ribs. Thr possibilities are endless
Fraggleish
Hell yeah! Pot-in-pot ftw!
elinveronicap
Me too! I was thinking about getting a rice cooker, but I don't have room for an appliance that does 1 thing only.
gaijinsmash
It doesn't do 1 thing only. It's basically the same thing as a slow cooker, I make all sorts of things in mine, from rice to stews, etc.
ShadusMacAoidh
I love my pressure/slow cooker (what Instant Pots are). DM me if you want ideas on what you can do with them. Rice is only the beginning.
ctotheg2
It’s great idea

That much water is a great way to make rice porridge. 1/2" more water than rice, no more.

Yes that part should be rectified in the image

A bargain rice cooker was my husband-to-be's first gift to me our first Christmas. We'll be married 30 years in a few months; rice cooker 1/

still works fine.

Same, mine is one I bought somewhere around 7 or 8 years ago at target for like $30, thing has been a workhorse

Buy the cheap one with a single button. It's literally all you need.

Aroma brand. Had mine for years, cook rice 4-5x a week and it's lovely. Basic is all you need.
StrickenStrychnine
I have a cute red Oster brand and it's perfect.
TerribleDawn
Unless you want to make Japanese style/sushi rice. The simple cookers can't get it right, it ends up undercooked.
JohnBluehill
After reading this an OP's earlier post, I'm now convinced rice cooker owners are like cast iron owners...
ImmortalChild
Hey let me tell you ALL about my cast iron pans and then howsabout we discuss your car's extended warranty while I blender my hands off :)
beenpostingsince
You seem to have a lot of pent up anger over getting a rice cooker because you're bad at doing something (cooking rice).
Bokkanb
Complaing about "unsolicited advice" after posting about how he failed to do something the hard way when there's an easier and better way.
ImmortalChild
None of which will make my kitchen any fucking bigger plus MY HUSBAND DOESN'T WANT ONE. It's shitposting. Imgur would be what without it?
Bokkanb
As far as I see your only two options are to either never cook rice or to get a new husband..
Bokkanb
Also.. I tried to voice to text this with the water running.. this is what I got...

gpxtom4
Don't do it if you have a small kitchen. I cook rice in a covered sauce pan and it comes out perfect.
Thehoffmiester
It's good if that's what you want. I cook my rice in a pot but that's me
Solifeaul
There are dozens of us! Dozens!
ImmortalChild
You and me, pal. I'm not getting a fucking rice cooker. It's a ruse.
slayston
I was too drunk to realize this post was you dicking around but instant pots are amazing, fuck just rice cookers.
mycoffeeartjourney
Man, you two are missing out. Frees up an element, no watching or dicking about with the simmering or timer
litldub
Perfect rice, every time. Steam your rice/fish on top, meal in 15 minutes. Get a rice cooker!!
Thehoffmiester
I'm not gun ho about it. I would rather use a rice cooker but no space on the counter. I gotten use to the pot
storebrandproductmascot
I might be with you if you hadn't already fucked up cooking it in a pot.
Micro2112
Get a fuzzy logic one. It's insane the difference
deadlywolf04
Grabbed a Zojirushi right before the pandemic hit, hands down one of the best decisions I’ve made.
Micro2112
A Japanese coworker gave me his even he moved back home. I had to make my own labels of course, but it's unreal got well it works
TheCaptain00
@OP out of curiosity, did you ever read the instructions that came with the rice?
ImmortalChild
I WAS HOPING MY ILLITERACY WOULDN'T COME UP. Thanks a lot sheesh.
TheCaptain00
Also, no need to be snappish, it's your own fault you're a culinary wonder of the modern world.
ImmortalChild
Jesus, it's a joke, no one is snappish. Have a great night, princess :)
TheCaptain00
That's Queen Jesus to you, you ricey tragedy you.
ImmortalChild
And you thought I was going to talk about my farts with you. AS IF.
TheCaptain00
Ignoring the printed instructions is a time honoured tradition. I'd ask if you maybe have poor gas flow, but that's your business. ;)
elinveronicap
I'm a decent cook. But I fail with potatoes, pasta and rice like 90% of the time. One cannot be good at everything.
johneventually1
I can give you advice, but DO YOU like rice?
zoltarpanaflex
It's a good idea if you have rice now and again or more often. Practically idiot proof. Maybe.
ImmortalChild
You haven't met this idiot. Eyebrows eyebrows eyebrows.
zoltarpanaflex
I admit I laughed. Hah.
macthelost
I’d recommend a pressure cooker like instapot or the like instead. It’ll make rice in like 8 minutes AND you can make other stuff in it too.
litldub
I made rice in an instant pot a few times, always turned out terrible
macthelost
It’s gonna take a little experimentation, but it works. I’ve been making rice in mine for years.
aFlailingTuna
storebrandproductmascot
I made rice in an Instant Pot and it took like 25 minutes or some shit because it recommended natural release for no stick.
macthelost
Fair. I only like sticky rice. I suppose dry rice would be pretty hard to make in it.
macthelost
I actually don’t know how instapot does, I have an emirel pressure cooker. Takes 5 minutes for basmati and 8 for Japanese rice.

DeadeicPrints
Uncle Roger definitely suggests rice cookers.
MadHakon
Suggests? The man dreams of scoring a sponsorship for a brand of rice cookers.
Allthegoodnamesweretakenbeckygod
I would buy an uncle roger rice cooker.
BrazilianThunderPanda
MinorityRetort
I asked a Chinese chef for his secret to making perfect rice. "Put water+rice in cooker, press go" 2.25:1 water to rice ratio for stickier.
kingrd
Wait you are measuring your water and rice? I do when it's in a pot, but in a rice cooker I just eyeball it
ralphmelish
Our standard is 2:1 water to rice by volume.
BlancheFromage
With short-grain rice (pearl rice), rinse well until water runs clear, then 1:1 rice to water. Perfect.
iAlwaysUpvoteMN
Add a skösh of rice wine vinegar
Spuduck
I like to add sesame oil. Any leftovers get frozen, frozen rice is ideal for stir fry/fried rice
iAlwaysUpvoteMN
Good tip
Spuduck
Thank you
HiddenCookies
Fuck the ratio, just fill a pan with water. Take it out at 10 minutes exactly (as packet says) and it will stop absorbing water.
IVerifyPeoplesUsernames
Yeah, no, we skip the math. Just dump in the rice, rinse it, and then put in enough water so that it reaches the first joint of your finger.
treeclimbernick
That’s crazy. We put ONE and a quarter cup water with 1 cup rice and it comes out perfect every time. Curious.
Thermosa
VERY much depends on the sort of rice. I do 1.5c + bit of rice vinegar per 1c of basmati. Perfect every time. Zero stickiness.
Thermosa
Also: my cooker is very cheap, so I need to be a bit more accurate.
PubstarHero
It doesnt matter, the rice cooker stops when the water boils off anyways.
chut7
Another common way to measure water is to add 3/4" more inches of water (about one fingernail's worth) than the riceline.
Nuclearwaste9
I prefer to use the big toenail dip test.
Calise425
Something something anything but metric
BananaParagon
Are you putting fingernails in the rice cooker? Be honest, because my jar of fingernail clippings went missing.
counterfeitdreams
Saw a Craig’s list post 7 or 8 years ago selling a jar of their nail clippings. I have the screenshot somewhere
TimTheEnchanter01
Yep, that’s how you get that extra crunch
BananaParagon
Lol
zFUBARz
Yup, rinse, do that, and once the water is mostly gone remove from heat and cover, (I put a piece of paper towel between the pot and lid.)
OrThatsWhatTheySayAnyway
If you put less water, use v low heat once simmering, lid on pot right at start, walk away and come back 20 mins later.
zFUBARz
That's why the towel and more water though. No risk of burning at all. Same thing let it sit. The rice with absorb what it needs and (1/2)
zFUBARz
The paper towel wicks away the rest. (2/2)
HalifaxSamuels
A rice cooker is 100% a great idea if you're ever going to cook rice. If you're never going to cook rice in your life, maybe skip it.
PapaSloth
Truth.
InvadingRussiaDuringWinter
Or get 5 minute rice. Yup. I said it
Joylove
Follow this guy for more life hacks.
FirePrinceZuzu
Who doesn't cook rice?
quietwalker
Yeah, if you were gonna make a roast chicken, I wouldn't suggest using a rice cooker.
vindik8or
You could probably do a pretty good poached chicken in it, though.
BookNNotes
Its faster to just boil the water, add rice, bake covered at 350f for 20 mins...
litldub
Why would you use your oven to cook rice?! What a waste of energy!!
BookNNotes
Not if you are baking other things as well. Sorry i offended you though.
AccountCreatedToUpvoteDogs
You think that's bad, my wife uses the oven broiler for toast. As if a toaster is some extravagance.
TheCaptain00
Right!? Cook it straight in the electric kettle :)
5knotcans
I use mine to cook hot dogs.
graaghles
I would say invest in an instant pot, which has a rice setting but does a whole bunch of other things. No they don't pay me, but they should
LupusLilium
Not sure if an IP has a normal long term steam mode, but I also use my rice cooker to steam/boil whole potatoes.
graaghles
Got ya fam: https://www.shugarysweets.com/instant-pot-baked-potatoes/
ChickenFingerFingers
When cooking rice, toss in a couple eggs as well. You'll have hard boiled eggs when the rice is done!
zcon
but ya gotta get the one w the elephant on it
AlmostHappy
I only use mine to cook oatmeal
Silverbananahorse
Tried that one, burned it. Still get nightmares of the cleanup
DreadPierateRoberts
Mine has a porridge setting best oatmeal ever
onepinksheep
A rice cooker can be used to cook more than just rice. Mine also has a steamer basket that I can use for steamed goodies.
LupusLilium
If you do it right, you can also make a really amazing and cheap set it and forget it single pot dish. I'll sometimes throw sliced ham and
LupusLilium
medium sized cuts of potato into the pot with the rice. Give it a little stir to mix things, then you can steam it all.
PorneliusHubertII
I bought a Tice cooker with the intention of eating more rice. Spent $300 on a japanese rice cooker and have used it like 2 times.
PapaSloth
I bought one for $15 that just has a switch on the front, and I've used it maybe twice a week for the last 20 years.
ExtremelyHappyGuy
I use mine to cook rice. And then when I'm not cooking rice, I use something else.
dragonqueen248
I use the heck out of mine. Also let's me steam veggies
StrickenStrychnine
As an Asian, I can't imagine not owning one.
TheCuntCrusader
As a son of Asian immigrants, we just use pots. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
pthalio
I cook all sorts of noodles in mine
Lovemorhatem
I hope by 'rice cooker' you mean 'cast iron wok', because otherwise, disgraceful.
MaggotX66
Why?
RevengeIsIceCream
It’s pretty easy to make rice without one. That said, every Taiwan household I’ve visited had one. It’s just too convenient.
Lovemorhatem
Oh, well obviously because I think rice cookers are useless. Did you really have to ask that?
MaggotX66
Yes
vegivamp
I think the question is more why you think that. Don't you like convenience? Having one less thing to think about while cooking?
Lovemorhatem
Or you could, you know, just toss some rice in a pot and cover it with water and a lid. You don't really need a special tool.
vegivamp
If you make your rice like pasta, you're already doing it wrong. I do it, too, but it's still wrong.
Lovemorhatem
Where the heck did you get pasta from all this?
TheCaptain00
Apparently a fair few people do.
Lovemorhatem
Yeah, shame most people don't know how to cook. You can literally make most store bought rice edible with non-boiling hot water. Not ideal.
SociallyAwkwardCanadianMoose
I can cook rice in a pot at my parents... have yet to succeed at any other city....
Lovemorhatem
Well, here's a friendly bit of advice. Add some butter to the pot, approx twice as much water as rice, less as you add more of each. --
Lovemorhatem
Boil all of it already mixed together, cover, reduce until it's barely bubbling.
Lovemorhatem
Usually about lo-to-2 on most stoves, depending on type and power.
FrankJustice1
Like any other kitchen gadget, if you do something all the time and it makes that thing take less time/work/attention, it's worth it
Lovemorhatem
Eh, don't get me wrong, if you're eating a bunch of nothing but rice, go for it. Otherwise. You're gonna be in the kitchen anyway
SonOfChicken
My 4 burner stove can only handle so much. The rice cooker frees up valuable flame
Lovemorhatem
Oof, okay, you got me on that point. Last time I made a several-course chinese dish, I was juggling five dishes on four burners. Hectic.
