Best Rice Cooker
Posted on 6/11/09 at 5:28 pm

My current rice cooker is 13 or so years old, made by Panasonic but it is on it's last leg. I've needed to replace it for at least the past year but now it's time.
I looked at some higher priced Japanese models that are highly rated.

Any suggestions?

I quit using a rice cooker when my old one broke that I had had for about 12 years. I tried 3 different inexpensive ones from places like Target and Walmart, and they all sucked. Black and Decker makes one that I wish I could shove up someone's arse at Black and Decker.
I went back to making it in a Magnalite pot, and I've never looked back.

What's so hard about measuring 4 cups of water, boiling it, putting in two cups of rice and a slab of butter, covering a letting simmer for 30 minutes?

A rice cooker is one of those items I wouldn't spend big bucks on. Who wants a 30 year old rice cooker for $200? I buy on the cheap for $20 and they last 10-12 years.
The one I have now is a Rival. I think I paid $15 for it at KMart 7 years ago. It works great. Will probably last another 3 years and then I'll throw it away.

According to the Raising Cane's Sign, the best Rice cooker in the world is Alex Box. May be a bit out of your price range though.

I swear by this one. This style has served my family well for generations.

yeah yeah.
I've made rice in a pot for 30 years but sometimes you either don't want to watch it, don't have time to watch it or don't have room.
I highly doubt you never have used a Rice Cooker.
fwiw, I have a real rice pot that has been handed down to me as the 4th generation. It is a super old cast aluminum pot with a split hickory handle. Nothing makes better rice but if I have a house full of friends, it is too small to make rice and I don't feel like watching it while it cooks.

Try a microwave one. My parents use one and have for the last several years and it comes out perfect. Even the bottom doesn't get all overcooked and gunky. Look online because they are hard to find in stores.

Microwave, in covered Corning Ware:
2 cups rice, 4 cups water, 1 tbsp salt, 1 tbsp butter. High power for 6 minutes, 70% for 18 minutes. Perfect separate grains every time. No pot watching.
I did have a Hitachi rice cooker for a while, I liked it for steaming vegetables.

The main thing about a rice cooker is that you can keep the rice in it for multiple days and it will be heated and ready to go. That is if you have a good rice cooker. I purchased one from the Asian market on lee across the street from papa johns. Works great. They have a variety. Cooks rice in 30 minutes and you can keep it in there for days, just heat up your left over gumbo in the pot then scoop some rice out and your good to go. I have also heard of them being used as pseudo crock pots

we started boiling our rice in a lot of extra water and then straining it, the rice never sticks to each other and by washing it, you remove most of the starch
i'm starting to like it this way over my 15+ year old rice cooker
