It’s one of those things where once you have properly cooked rice you’ll look at anyone boiling it in a pot like you would a caveman trying to use a cellphone.

Now y’all got me wanting to try it lmao.
I do have an egg steamer, that I similarly thought was for the weak and infirm until I used it. I love that little fucker now. Of course it only cost like 20 bucks… Something that costs hundreds better give me a happy ending after I eat my rice.

Mine was about $100 when I got it years ago. The same model is going for $150 now.
Your mileage may vary on its usefulness, but to me being able to wash rice and toss it into the pot then forget about it while I make everything else is kinda like the cooking equivalent to getting a second monitor. Not required and is kind of a luxury, but it’s super useful to have and it improves your workflow.

Those things are $300 US. It’s fucking madness.

Comes out perfectly fluffy every time. I love my Zojirushi. There’s a reason they’re a standard wedding present in Japan. Super high quality and buy-it-for-life.

I was skeptical too until I got one. I don’t know how much technology it actually uses but I will say ever since I started using it my rice has come out p. much the exact same every. single. time. It’s like magic. The consistency of the results of this thing compared to a $10 rice cooker is insane.
