Can confirm that machine is voodoo magic. Just used mine. A cup of rice, 1.5 cup of water, push the button, and in about half an hour - perfectly cooked rice. Every time.
Mine is 20 years old and cost me 25 bucks. One of the best purchases I’ve ever made.
The question isn’t rice cooker vs pot on stove, it’s “do you rinse it first”? FYI - buckwheat also cooks same as rice and it has a lovely, nutty flavor and protein! foodstruct.com/compare/buck...
Buckwheat is richer in dietary fiber, protein, and minerals while being lower in calories and net carbs. Buckwheat is a whole grain, while white rice is refined.
If you bought or got as a gift an instant pot that sits in the back of your cabinet - it does a great job too
It was Roger Ebert’s favorite appliance. After cancer took his ability to eat, he wrote a whole cookbook about it.

Hey I just did product placement. I am brand ambassador now.
I was fully anti rice cooker until I got one.

I got one as a present from a Japanese friend when I got my first apartment after graduating college. I still use it and have never actually cooked rice any other way. I still measure the water quantity as “above the rice to the first knuckle of my index finger” as directed. 😺
For mine I do 1:2 ratio for rice to water
