do you really need a rice cooker to cook rice? is it pretty much an asian thing since you guys seem to eat a lot of rice?

and wtf is fuzzy logic

I found this:

"In other words, the fuzzy logic cooker does what a real cook does, using its senses and intuition when it is cooking rice, watching and intervening when necessary to turn heat up or down, and reacting to the kind of rice in the pot, the volume and the time needed. "

Most asian families swear by the Zojirushi brand (or sometime referred to as the Elephant brand).

mostly americans actually from what I have seen.

My wife is pretty FOB, she wanted this Krups one that is also a slow cooker.

She still occasionally makes rice in a pot though too.

I just eat it and either way it's the same to me.

I've had a Zojirushi for 5 years and it's never done me wrong.

lately I've been cooking it in a pot, though. I like being able to boil bullion into the water before adding the rice.
