08/23/2006 | My wife uses this about once a month but I don't know how necessary it is. Hell just go to the local Chinese takeout place and get a quart of nicely fluffed rice for two bucks.

03/07/2006 | Much like cars, the Asian brands work twice as good as our domestic rice-cookers. . .If you want a steak, stay in America- when it comes to rice, stick with the products bought by the people that know it best. . .

03/07/2006 | When you're married to an Asian immigrant, this device becomes a standard fixture that inhabits your kitchen. And not just any rice cooker will do! Upon first arriving in Los Angeles, my spouse (then girlfriend) informed me that American brand rice cookers were inferior in that they (apparently) use dated technology. She related that what American companies make now are similar to what was common in Japan in the '70s.
Consequently, we have a Sanyo rice cooker that (I guess) is on the cutting edge of rice cooking technology. Anyway, my sister was impressed. She's sort of a Martha Stewart type (as in "enjoys homemaking, not "inhabits federal prisons") and when she came over to dinner one night and saw what my wife was using, she decided on the spot that she wanted one. We got her a Japanese brand rice cooker for Xmas and she was happy as a clam.

03/06/2006 | Okay, in semi-counterpoint to Kamy.
I'm an Irish-Canadian man who can cook rice. (That sound you hear is my grandfather getting restless in his tomb)
That being said, rice is a lot easier to get wrong than get right, and a rice cooker is pretty useful if you eat a lot of the stuff.
The best ones are kind of like good missiles. Fire and forget.

03/06/2006 | Okay. I admit it.
I'm a Chinese American woman who can't cook rice. There. I said it.
Oh, I TRY. And sometimes, I succeed. But, results are highly variable.
I've gotta get me one of these. My mom has one, and it's great. Perfect rice EVERY time. No, I won't use it EVERY day, but it'd eat healthier meals more often if I had one!
