People spend hundreds on knives and other kitchen equipment. $150 for rice cooker is cheap if you use it everyday and the unit last 10+ years. I have $800 coffee machine that only makes coffee. I could get the same result with $20 French press. But if my coffee machine broke tomorrow I would go out buy another $1,000 coffee machine without hesitation. I also have $100 thermometer I occasionally use to measure cooking temperature. Is it necessary to have $100 thermometer? No, but it's nice luxury to have. Nice rice cooker is a luxury if you eat lot of rice. Of course if you think 10lb rice bag is lot of rice, you probably don't need one. 10lb bag would last about a week with some Asian families.
I have one. I thought the same thing, until I got one for Christmas.i do. who the fuck needs a $150 toaster? that's just fucking nuts!
Why not start the rice cooker an hour or two before and keep it on the warming mode?We have tried the fuzzy logic ones, but my wife cannot stand the extra 10-20 minutes it takes to cook the rice, so we just have a normal single button cooker.
Yeah. Never did understand that. I've heard the same complaint from others.We have tried the fuzzy logic ones, but my wife cannot stand the extra 10-20 minutes it takes to cook the rice, so we just have a normal single button cooker.
You are trying to use logic against my wife's argument.Why not start the rice cooker an hour or two before and keep it on the warming mode?
Dishwasher and Microwave also save a fair amount of time and labour, a rice cooker does not. I just don't see the value added; like I said I make all of my rice in a saucepan with no issues whatsoever. Of course I am a kitchen gadget guy, so buy whatever floats your boat, I just don't see the need for that particular device.People who say there's no need for a good rice cooker - do you own a microwave oven or a dishwasher? You don't really need those appliances either, but obviously many people value them quite a bit and have them anyway.
I personally have never used a dishwasher, and probably use my rice cooker just as often as I use the microwave. Heck, even if I had to choose between an oven and a rice cooker I would probably still pick the rice cooker.
Say what?You know what... I really can't fault anyone for owning a rice cooker. I've gone to brewing coffee manually but I had a coffee maker for years so knock yourselves out with your thermally controlled electronic water boiling devices.![]()
See my post above. There's a reason why all Koreans in Korea (and here) have a cooker at home.Dishwasher and Microwave also save a fair amount of time and labour, a rice cooker does not.

We get home from work. I start the rice cooker. After running/taking the dogs to the park, we pick-up Indian food and come home to a warm batch of basmati rice.Dishwasher and Microwave also save a fair amount of time and labour, a rice cooker does not.

I bought a similar model 11 yrs ago (Zojirushi 10 cups induction) and it seemed nuts at the time. Over the years it's more than paid for itself and the unit is still going strong even after working several times a week all this time. It still cooks perfect rice every time and consistent whether I cook 2 cups or 10 cups and keeps it for a few days - this is where the cheap units fail. I'm glad I did since we eat lots of rice and makes it all worthwhile. I'm cheap but there are things worth splurging on.I'll bite. I spent $200 on a rice cooker, makes perfect rice everytime with zero effort.
