Rice Cookers?
Does anyone have one? Are they worth it?

How big of one do you have?RZehr wrote:Yes. We use ours often.
If I understand correctly, they cook the rice and then go into a "warm" setting? How long can the rice stay in them?

All day at least. Longer than you likely want your rice to hang out waiting. We have had one in the past but it was downsized to fit into a smaller kitchen.steve-in-kville wrote: If I understand correctly, they cook the rice and then go into a "warm" setting? How long can the rice stay in them?

Re: Rice Cookers?
i have not used an electric one, i imagine they work great.
we used a microwave type that was not costly, and it worked like a charm.
it was some sort of (plastic?) it was effortless to clean.
i think it it was like this. we had 2 different sizes. (your family is big?)
i don’t think ours was a name brand. i don’t use it for just myself.
we usually made brown rice, but, occasionally, other types, too.

i think i remember steaming veggies in it. fresh beets.
it was just so easy. fast. easy cleanup.
lightweight. not cumbersome. no storage problems.

Most or all of this drama, humiliation, wasted taxpayer money could be spared -

Re: Rice Cookers?
Speaking of rice, since we have gotten hooked on using basmati rice we never use anything else. And from Sam's Club in the 20-pound bags it is reasonably priced, too.

Re: Rice Cookers?
We tried about all of them, and the family prefers just plain long grain white rice. Can a rice/bean pilaf be cooked in these things?mike wrote:Speaking of rice, since we have gotten hooked on using basmati rice we never use anything else.
