Is a rice cooker worth the money?

My Zojirushi rice cooker cleaned up my diet and improved my life. No, really. I add brown rice to it in the morning, and set the timer. The timer is the time the brown rice will *finish*. So if you set it to 4:00 PM, then it starts cooking at around 2:30 (for brown rice). White rice takes less time to cook and probably will start around 3:15. There's a quick white rice setting that is done in about 20 minutes. Anyways, the point is that you don't have to do the math. It knows the approximate cooking times of the rice you intend to cook, and it will have it done for you when you ask.

When I come home, I chop up some vegetables and meat, and stir fry everything. Meat first, set aside, then vegetables, then add the meat back in. Add sauce and toss everything to coat. Serve on rice and done. Dinner plus wash-up takes less than half an hour. My showers are pretty quick, so I'm usually done with dinner and cleaning within an hour of coming home from work. You can cook a little extra and take it to work for lunch. You'll start eating more vegetables, complex-er carbs (if you eat brown rice), and save a ton of money on your grocery/take-out bill.

Oh god, I wish I could just punch my wife's face in sometimes. She's one of those bitches that will say ANYTHING, cross any line, just to trigger me. It's her only goal when arguing. No logic. No reasoning. Just pure crazy ass mean shit to get me to react.

I know she's just baiting me to beat her bloody so she can take half my shit. Marrying a British slag is like hell on earth and my sin to bear for the rest of my life...

>British slag
i heard brit girls are easy.

you heard wrong.

Have you ever gone to an asian restaurant or friend's house and had rice that was so good you could eat bowls of it without much else? If so, then yes.

If your local mexican rice satisfies you then maybe not.

Jumping on this thread - is the instant pot as good as basically any regular rice cooker? I make a lot of rice but if i could also make other stuff with the same device that would be neato

if you want your rice to taste like everything else you cook, then yes, it's just as good

Zojirushi owners agree it's not as good. Others opinions range from can't get it right to good.

>a lot of time and effort
You wot, m8? It's easy as fuck in a pot unless you're very serious about rice.

My rice cooker is 20 yrs old still goin’ strong. Japanese.

if you cook rice regularly they are. its nice to just press a button and not have to worry about it

lol Veeky Forums is predominantly female bro ;)

Get a mid grade one 30~50$ if you like rice sometimes, if you eat it daily/often or just have money to spare get one of the nip ones. The super cheap ones are never worth it they just make soggy gross rice

Thwyre like 5 bucks ot coirse theyre worth the money

"Earth" girls, user. Space girls are the bitcherest.

I have one but I rarely use it since I realized rice doesnt really do any good to lose weight.

Its a mix. On one hand, its bulky and takes up space. On the other hand, it does actually seem to cook rice easier with less fuss and mess.

Yes. Rice, oatmeal, grits, steamed veggies.... All super easy. Automatically switches to keep warm when finished cooking so you can set it and go about your business until you're ready to eat. If I could only have one small appliance, it'd be my rice cooker.

this. I had one similar to the one in the OP and it would burn every pot. got a handmedown nicer one with button and all and it works great.

Same. 13 bucks at walmart over 7 years ago. Also has a steamer tray which works perfectly every time. Literally 0 complaints. If it breaks I'll buy another one.

People who buy rice cookers are the same people who buy bread makers. They like a toy to tell them they're doing it right.

The only acceptable unitasker.

>put rice in cooker
>add water, rinse
>add more water to cover the rice +1cm
>insert STEAMING RACK
>place steamable things on it
>close lid, engage fast boil mode
>come back 15min later, ready
they're good, depending on your tastes
