Rice cooker⌠pffft
whoever doesnât use a rice cooker is making there lives unnecessarily difficult. That isnât to say I donât cook a half decent rissoto every so often but really, in the middle of the week, after you rushed home from work, done the school and daycare pick up, dealt with the barrage of requests from the moment you walked in the door, worked out how late wifey will be, and generally been left in a state of desperation to get the young ones to bed so you can breath, who can be farked cooking rice on the stove?

When we got one (we somehow ended up with a $20 voucher from Harvey Norman) I thought itâd be a cupboard clogger. Use it at least twice a week. Havenât quite nailed making good brown rice in it, but all the white varieties come out well.
I think the brown rice ratio is advertised as 3 to 2 water/rice but I agree that still doesnât feel quite right. Anyway the kids turn their nose up at it and I have given up on that argument for the time being, it isnât worth it.
We use the stove. Rice and water, boil, then simmer. Itâs not difficult. Rice is the 3yos favourite food so we cook alot and freeze it.

I think we may have had this discussion beforeâŚbut if anyoneâs interestedâŚthe method for perfect rice every timeâŚ
- Put rice in pot
- Rinse at least three times
- Cover with water and leave stand about half hour
- Rinse
- Add water to just above level of rice
- Cover and cook on high about 5 mins
Rice is ready when the mass develops little holes
Always light, always fluffy. Sounds like a lot of mucking around but literally takes a minute to prep.
The difficulty is keeping an eye on it while being pulled in several different directions by the littles. Rice cooker is rinse, set and forget. Then oh itâs ready and itâs perfect. Iâve had this argument with a few housemates over the years, in the end I converted all of them.
We had one, not anymore as we donât eat that much rice, but when we did - they worked and worked well. X billion Asians use them and they canât all be wrong.

Iâve been cooking rice all my life, mate⌠nothing easier, and Iâve never used anything other than a pot. I guess itâs what youâre used to.

You can also use rice cookers to steam dim sims.

You forgot to tell us when to harvest it, and the best method for threshing.

I have no problem cooking rice in a pot either - but when youâve got a kid crawling around, climbing on stuff, screaming, needing their dinner, you still have to cook the main part of the meal, setting the table, blah blah blah: any task which you can automate to the point of safely ignoring is golden.
