I cook rice in my pot.
>>
>>21981671
I have one big enough to do spaghetti in. Otherwise I would use it much less. It boils water but lets steam escape. It doesn't need high technology.

>>21981671
This is a midea brand btw
>>
Get the Tiger micom

^THIS ONE RIGHT HERE

It's the best at its price point
I've said this so many times
nobody ever listens

the bigger mongrel is the one who can't cook rice in a pot

If you eat rice a lot you will not regret spending a little more. You don't need to go all out with the top zojirushi model but I'd probably spring for something better than "comfee" whatever the fuck that is

t. actually eats rice every day
>>
>>21981671
That seems like it has the features you want in a nice rice cooker but I don't know about trusting the Comfee brand. I think you can find good rice cookers by known brands like Toshiba for $100 or so but they might be slightly more expensive now. I got a Toshiba fuzzy logic cooker for around $100 on Amazon around five years ago and it makes perfect rice and other grains every time. I eat rice or other grains almost everyday so a good rice cooker was a no brainer for me. The fuzzies work much, much better than the cheapo cookers, and stove top cooking can be a pain if you eat a ton of rice and other grains like quinoa.

I don't eat rice all that often but I'm still extremely tempted to get one just for all the one pot meals. Am I retarded?
I do fucking love rice don't get me wrong
>>

>I don't eat rice often
>I'm tempted to get one
>Am I retarded?
Yes, you are retarded. Getting a premium rice cooker for one pot meals is retarded. Why not get something like an Insta Pot which is made for one pot meals?

I was thinking about getting this one. Anyone have any experience with it?
>>
Instant Pot
you can make a perfect pot of rice by using a 1:1 ratio of water:rice by volume
>>
>>21981941
No. If you're going to use it primarily for cooking rice you should get a good rice cooker.
>>
>>21981951
Thx anon.
>>21981938
What's a good instapot to get? I'm mainly going to be doing beans chilli and rice occasionally.
>>
>>21981938
Not a premium one you faggot like $60 ish dollars Jesus Christ how poor are you?
>>
>>21981871
>Toshiba
That's also a midea believe it or not.
I can't tell if comfee is supposed to be a subbrand of toshiba or midea but they're all related.
>>
>>21981671
I had a cheap $20 one with just the on/off switch for 7 years. Replaced it with a $150 Zoji. Probably will buy another $20 one unless I can find a bowl for the Zoji once it gets scratched.
tldr get a cheap one

The Po-acckkk? Is that a common piece of equipment?

What about the British market? I can only find zojirushi and maybe 1 tiger, all at £200+ but they're all that weird metal with black, utilitarian. The one linked >>21981700 at least would fit my kitchen. But I can't find it.
>>
>>21981671
>Japstuff, not made in China

That's it. Shouldn't need more than 3 cups for personal use. You don't need any features.

I bought one called yum Asia 6 years ago.
Works great
>>
>>21982459
Kek the icon is a picture of a girl in the doggystyle position. The circle is her head, the second ring is her arms, and the last ring is her legs. Yum Asia itself already sounds very sketchy because Asian food isn’t very tasty. The power button icon is also a vagina slit, it’s like a metaphor about pussy being a source of energy for humans. And, he makes us put our finger into the icon to power the device. Every picture on that thing was designed by lucifer, just like all the other rice cookers. He’s so fucking cheap that he uses pictures and words to hurt us, and says it makes more money or something. I don’t know the full story about why he draws pornography on everything, it’s not really that annoying honestly I’m just kinda worked up because he’s been in my house for a long time. I’m having a really hard time right now, lucifer has been goring my penis daily for around 12 years and set it up so if I’m screaming from the goring of my penis, people will inject me and call me schizophrenic. Fucking clever system (not really),
>>
>>21982459
I've had the exact same model for 2 years now. Can also confirm it works great.

>>21982469
>Asian food isn’t very tasty.
sounds like you're just a cooklet.
>>
>>21981671
What is the idea of such a cooker outside SE-Asia or a restaurant? If you not feed a family from morning to evening with rice it makes no sense to me. Needs a lot of space, must be cleaned, cannot put in dishwasher, not stackable like a pot and has only one purpose. Me just put rice:water 1:1 + salt in a pot ( cast iron to avoid chrome outwashing from stainless ones), set the inductive to 120°C for 2 minutes and after the beep to 80° for. Works perfect and there is no additional machine i have to take care off.
>>
>>21981671
get the best you can. zojirushi will last your your whole life.
>>
>>21982553
>cannot put in dishwasher
the bowl comes out and is non-stick and really only needs a dunk and a wipe in the washing up bowl. you're however right about the size and oppressive nature of the machine in your kitchen.

I got the black and decker 6 cup rice cooker off Amazon. It's a little wider than I would like, but no other complaints. I use it for brown rice.
>>

What are your thoughts on the wifi icon?

What kind of inbred flyover hick thinks there's no one who eats rice every day outside of vietnam and malaysia

I was surprised when I learnesd rice was major crop in revolutionary South Carolina. I always imagined rice farming as women in Chinese sombreros harvesting in ankle deep water.

>Hitachi
This is my favorite.
It’s cheaper than other Japanese brands, the coating on the pot is extremely durable, and it’s made in Japan.

Zojirushi Neurofuzzy.
>>
>>21984519
Set it to white rice, and 20 years later it will still make perfect white rice.
Put in 2-4 measured cups of rice, wash the shit out of it, and then fill the line to 2-4 in the container and push the button, that's it.
>>
>>21981671
I got a Zojirushi on sale for something a bit more than $100. I think regular it was around $150-$75.
It's fine. Makes consistent rice. Just one press of the button and you don't need to mind it until it beeps again.

One thing that I do like, is it makes really, really good steel cut oats. 100x better than when I make it in a pot. So if you like oats, they're definitely worth it.

I think one day I do want to get one of the high end rice cookers, but that's not going to be until the one I have now dies on me.
>>
>>21981673
I'd rather drive an automatic than a manual because the result is the same and it's less work. Even if someone is an expert at driving a manual the absolute best they can hope for is they shift as smoothly as a modern automatic.
>>
>>21984847
Not strictly true, the best a manual driver could hope for is shifting like a formula 1 driver.
But if you're just going to work or the shops, then there's no need; an automatic let's you relax and focus on other things
>>
>zojirushi
it was worth it imo
>>
>>21984847
>I'd rather drive an automatic than a manual because ...
I do not even notice if i drive a manual because i am able to drive. and yes, i will never buy a fu****g rice cooker because i cook rice in a LeCreuset pot. No chrome, no additives, just SiO2 (glass)and Fe (casted iron). I give a shit of PCB (Polychlorinated biphenyl) in the cables, the plastic coating of the case, the chrome in the stainless steel, the waste of space, the fu***g power cable and the mess i have to clean just for a fu***ing dumb portion of cooked rice.
>>
>>21985036
Zojirushi or Tiger, ask anyone's Asian grandparents about the one they bought in 1982 that still makes rice today.

Got this one on black friday last year for ~$240. 100% worth it as someone who eats rice every day. Completely eclipses all other rice I've had out of other rice cookers (including other zojirushis) and ruins going to restaurants.
>>
How long does it take to cook in a cooker? I have and likely will always use a pot, but I'm curious, as 20 minutes is the correct cooking time for white rice. I assume a cooker is faster?
>>
>>21981671
I miss my old cheap rice cooker because you can use it without the lid on so it also served as something you eat hot pot from. My Zojirushi won't power on if the lid is open.
>>
>>21985259
$400, that is some scamazon.
it's a very good rice cooker though
>>
>>21985321
doesn't have a set timer. It's done when the rice is done, normally it takes longer than 20 minutes when you're cooking 3-4 cups. Like 45 maybe? BUT you don't have to do anything at all to it, you just set it, and you can leave it overnight and get the same cooked not burnt rice out of it in the morning.
>>
>>21981671
>rice cooker
meh
>multi-cooker
Now we're talking! One-pot dinners ftw!
>>
If you buy nice and make rice regularly, then it's well worth it in my opinon

Pic related is the rice I made for dinner this evening
>>
>>21986659
I personally use an NP-HCC10
>>
>>21986659
I buy US Japonica but i will only buy either yellow white bag Kokuho or yellow bag Hinode medium grain.
>>
I spent $500 on my platinum bottom zojirushi rice cooker. Lifetime warranty.
>>
>>21984847
yea but it's easier to cook rice in a pot versus a cooker
>>
>>21987061
You really just sound like someone who has never used one.
>>
As many anons have already said, Zojirushi. Just werks and isn't made in China
>>
I had a $15 one from the Chinese grocery store, now I use a pressure cooker from aldi.
>>
thought about getting one, can you also steam veggies in a regular one or does it need a special function
>>
>>21987372
its a plastic steaming basket

I have that rice cooker, I like it.
>>
>non-stick coating
you are all poisoned cucks
>>
Any recommendations for rice cookers that can also steam veggies together with the rice it's cooking?
>>
>>21987965
Just look for the models in your price range/feature set you want, and check the product pictures.

If that model includes a steamer basket, it usually shows it in those extra pictures.
