Rice Cooker
- Thread starter NJL
- Start date
My brother has one (so does my sister and her husband). My brother attached Velcro to keep the lid closed because the latch broke. 
I am one of the few people in my area that doesn't own a rice cooker. I use a covered Corelle bowl with 2 cups of rice with 1/2 inch water above the rice and 1/4 stick of butter and microdeath it for 18 minutes. It comes out perfect every time.

As a cook I made a steamer of rice every night and would rinse it at the end of the night for fried rice the next day. We would never use either so on nights when we had new waitstaff I would pop the rice out of the steamer at the end of my shift and cut it into two circles, frost it with whipped cream and garnish it with strawberries and tell the new hire we have a rice cake for their first day. We would make a big deal about them getting the first piece and all watch as they tried to be polite about it.
The one I have at home is fantabuluos. I like to brown some orzos in a sautee pan and cook my rice in chicken stock with the orzos and some butter.

Oh I do it all the time, you just lack skill.
+1. I can pick up a single grain with chopsticks.

I didn't say it couldn't be done (I can do it, too), but that small bowl of rice could become an hour-long meal one grain at a time!
Skill my friend, I'm a Chinese who eats rice every day. Don't argue with me! It's all in the pressure and angle of the chopsticks. HAHA!
Anyway, to add to this thread. Japanese made rice cookers are still the best(well constructed with good quality materials) after eating rice daily for the past few years. Don't buy those MIC copies.
THAT IS A LIE! Non fat asian chicks are soon becoming a myth.
Sadly. I know what you mean.
