The rice cooker is a revolutionary invention and I cannot stress this enough

my Brazilian half is always genuinely incapable of believing that people struggle to cook rice, an operation with two ingredients.

Its not difficult at all but this just cooks it very evenly and its very easy to set it while you prep something else

to defend stupid Americans… cooking rice on an electric coil burner is not straightforward. adjusting heat isn’t instantaneous. it’s way easier on gas or induction. when I had electric I had a post it on my fridge with the instructions for rice e.g. “start on 7; turn to 2 just before boil”

Why would you adjust the heat when it cooks better/doesn’t burn on a low setting the whole time?

because the water would take forever to come to a boil on low

There aren't a lot of things I struggle to cook, but rice is one of them. The issue I have is that I tend to rely on sight/feel to tell if something's done, and you can't really do that with rice without affecting the cooking.

a pot on the stove doesn't keep the rice fresh for hours later when I do finally get hungry again
