Eyeing a rice cooker, it's really not a need-to-have but I might go for it... Edit: went for it and got one from my local asia market. :)

    You won't regret it. They're such a nice thing to have and there are totally decent ones for pretty cheap.

    I have the one that Uncle Roger has that plays music when your rice is ready. I wish it was larger, but that is my only complaint.

    I use an instant pot and it works really well. I use it for other things too but honestly rice is probably what it gets used for the most.

    I love mine. Get a cheap analogue one that works with a magnet. Perfect rice every time

    Yup, for rice cookers, the cheaper the better. Anything with a gasket ain't worth the cleaning effort

    Found a nice one for $90. On second thought I better check out the models at the local Asia Supermarket.

    I've never actually used an expensive rice cooker, but the $15 one I got at [department store] works perfectly for me. This video sold me on the beautiful simplicity of it, and it's my favorite kitchen instrument

    I have better results with my instant pot than any of the results I’ve gotten from the zojirushi. Plus the zojirushi takes 4-5 times as long.

    My wife forbids me from getting any large appliances for any 1 thing, so I could never convince her to get a ride cooker. Instead we got an InstaPot that we use exclusively to cook rice. It's way different (trust me)

    My mom dislikes instant pot rice and likes zojirushi rice. IDK what the difference is but she can tell. Shrug.

    There’s definitely nuance to how you do it in the instant pot, depending on what kind of rice it is. Zojirushi is a little more hands-off, and fool-proof. I just never decide 2 hours in advance that I want rice with dinner.
