best rice I've ever had came out of a basic steamer, not one of your pointless japanese grain inseminators.

I've eaten rice from a rice cooker, it's exactly the same as pot-cooked rice. You fags are just trying to cope and retroactively justify spending money on useless shit that takes up counter space and saves literally zero time or effort.

About 7 years ago so bought a 300$ zojirushi umami rice cooker. I used a cheap 20 dollar rice maker for years before that. The zojirushi is much much nicer and has a ton of cool cooking modes, but I kinda preferred my old rice cooker due to its simplicity. Regardless, A rice cooker is far better than cooking rice on a stove. If you have the money get a decent cooker.

since this is a rice thread I've always wanted to know. What is the rice that the japanese use that sticks together real easy. Its absolutely delicious but I don't know what its called.

Also does anyone have any links to cheap healthy poorfag cooking recipes?

In most places it's just called Japanese rice (technical name is Japonica). It might also be called "sticky rice" or "Glutinous rice" or "short grain sushi rice".

>I'd rather do things besides rinse the rice and press a button
do you also manually wipe your windshields with a squeegee while leaning out the window of your car when it rains

[Anonymous No.19421273]

I have a japanese made zojirushi and I love it, but the yum asia looks like it also has a fuzzy logic chip so it's probably as good

>use a pot
my whole diet is rice+(protein)+(vegetable) and I can just hit a button and it comes out perfect every time, it's the only single use kitchen appliance I vouch for. If you only eat rice a few times a month, sure, use a pot

It's a labor saver that's useful for people who actually eat rice frequently. That's all.

Cooking rice in a pot:

Cooking rice in rice cooker:

You are saving quite literally zero labor and you're waiting longer overall. You're a retard who got conned into buying a pointless gadget trying to cope by pretending it actually does anything useful.

It’s a dumb argument to make, because if you cared that much about quality you wouldn’t mind doing extra steps like soaking and washing grains, finding the best water ratio and buying higher quality rice. Then having the level of control that a stovetop provides should be seen as a plus, but instead I see a bunch of poseurs saying that buying another plastic device to do the same job as a stovetop automatically produces better rice than people who actually think about what they’re doing. Imagine if faggots like you made the same argument about bread machines towards people who made sourdough. The truth is you just assume you know what’s right because you saw it in a YouTube video or someone told you to.

I have been using my Bamboo couple times a week for 4 years now, it makes the rice good

What the fuck kind of rice cooker are you using? Want to know the biggest benefit of a rice cooker? It's the fact that you set it and forget it, the rice is perfect every single time with zero though investment on your part. You set the rice and know for a fact that it'll be perfect while you prepare the rest of the meal. With a pot, you have to keep monitoring it otherwise you'll scorch the shit out of it.

Motherfucker PROFESSIONAL CHEFS use rice cookers these days, because it produces consistently good results without tying up a line cook keeping an eye on it.

Are you fucking retarded? How the fuck are you burning rice in a pot? You literally don't have to monitor it at all, you pour the rice into the boiling water, put the lid on, and wait for 18 minutes. It's literally exactly the same effort as a rice cooker but you people are so braindead you need some sort of plastic tat to perform even the simplest tasks for you

Anyone who is cooking more than just rice can easily lose track of time and scorch the bottom of the rice. The rice cooker removes that variable and even keeps it warm while you prepare the rest of the meal.

>having to keep an eye on rice
If you know any basic level of cooking, you don’t need to ‘keep an eye’ on rice. Set a timer, come back when it goes off.

Like seriously, do you watch paint dry?

[Anonymous No.19422484]

>>19422466
Turn the heat down you fucking retard. The only way you can scorch rice is either by blasting it on high heat or forgetting it for an hour.

>can easily lose track of time
the solution to that is a $1 egg timer, not an $80 rice-for-retards machine

Even better, most stoves and microwaves already have a built in timer!

[Anonymous No.19422642]

I literally have used a $20 black and decker rice cooker near daily for 5 years, and it always comes out perfect. Unless you need more than 6 cups rice at a time, i see little reason to spend more
