The Victorinox 8" chef's knife is great. I've had mine for years and I still use it every bit as often as my more expensive Global. Can't comment on the others but Cooks Illustrated recommendations have always been hits with me.

I was watching Cook's Country last night and they reviewed rice cookers. Their pick was the Aroma 8 Cup Digital Rice Cooker and Steamer which sells for just $30. I never felt the need for one before, I cook rice just fine on the stovetop. But for that price I might pick one up and see what all the fuss is about.

I have a rice cooker, never use it. Just another item to take up space. I guess it's good if you need to do a lot (i bought mine for a boudin making session), but otherwise, like you say, stove works just fine.

Had a rice cooker I used for years. Then the ex took it. Now I do rice the ole fashioned way and it's easier and has not turned it too moist/dry yet just using directions on rice bag. Waist of drawer/cabinet space imo

I received my Anova wifi precision cooker yesterday. Haven't been able to link it it to my wifi yet but haven't had much time to tinker with it yet
ETA: finally got it connected

I use my rice cooker weekly if not more. Comes out better than I can make it on stove. I love it.

I have several rice cookers. Large ones for big crowds and a small one for a small number. I love them. Use them all the time. I will replace them if one breaks. It really depends on how often you cook rice and in what amounts to determine if you would enjoy one. I got the little one at Walgreen's for 10 bucks one year a long time ago. Well worth 10 bucks.

We can all thank Mr. Floyd Soileau of Floyd's record shop in Ville Platte for introducing rice cookers to the coonass masses!

I use the hell out of mine from freezing stuff, marinading, cooking sous vide,keep cheese way longer, just very useful. I originally bought it to just put stuff in the freeezer, but it does way more.

many of the boudin shops use a rice cooker to steam and hold the links
it's definitely a multi tasker

I just use my rice cooker for when I cook more than 3 cups of rice.
Just use the stove for 3 or less.
Helps to not have to deal with the rice when cooking large dishes.
