A rice cooker making rice in a saucepan will yield different results almost every time, a $20-50 rice cooker is just a set it and forget it kitchen tool that yields the same results every time. Very nice and easy
I second this.
and I will warn you, Get a rice cooker thats one step bigger than what you think you need, cause once you get used to having it, you’ll end up making more rice and rice dishes cause its become so damn easy to make rice, and the last thing you want is to be limited by the tiny 2 cup rice cooker that you bought.
Totally not personal experience. (it is, its totally personal experience)
I did the same but went with an instapot since it can do rice too and I hate one trick appliances. Started off with the tiny one and then realized I cooked dang near everything in there after a while.
ricecookers arent a single task appliance. You can make a lot of other things in them.
A rice cooker making rice in a saucepan
How does a rice cooker make rice in a saucepan? I would think that it doesn’t need a saucepan, nor could it really use one without hands.
What are you doing to your rice that the saucepan yields different results every time?
Same with boiled egg maker. Super inexpensive (around $20) and you can choose between soft, medium or hard options. Same result every time.
My contrarian opinion is that rice cookers are worthless to any decent home cook, it just clutters your kitchen with yet another specialized tool that you don’t need. I much rather have an air fryer occupying that space.
If your rice yields different results every time it’s a skill issue not a tool issue.
My rice cooker gives consistent results, but unfortunately that result is a crunchy placemat made entirely of rice. It’s terrible.
Your rice cooker is probably too big for the portion you are making. Try making more rice at at time. If it works out, you can either batch cook and freeze leftovers or get a smaller rice cooker.
Oh, is that why is does it? Yeah, it’s 1.8 litre one which seemed among the smaller models. But we do like 2-3 cups max, because that’s like two big bowlfuls when cooked.
I’ll have to try cooking more then, cheers.
