Should learn how to cook rice
I just rapid boil my rice. Takes around 7 minutes.
I got this in clearance for $40 at my local Aldi a while ago. It's good. I'm happy with how the rice turns out. I've never used a super expensive one though
Need 2 or 3 cup
Kmart also has a version of this rice cooker for $65 if anyone doesn't want to wait for Aldi: https://www.kmart.com.au/product/rice-multi-cooker-43264940/
Got that one recently, it does an excellent job, and very nicely constructed.
So… buy two?
Digital = will be a glorified paperweight in several years. Why do they always try and over complicate some of the simplest possible devices?
I just used my DeLorean & checked several years ahead… it's still working.
They're pretty good, my unit (a tefal) weighs how much water you put in and adjusts cook time. Never had mushy rice for example. Only ever been slightly off and that's based on my measurements being off.
I have a digital "Tiger" brand rice cooker that is pushing 15 years old and still works like new.
The rice comes out noticeably better than the cheap simple type that only lasted a few years.
I am still eating Analog rice - I feel like a caveman.
These are for people who only want a bit.
Looks exactly like the $65 Kmart one - which isn't great
Looks can be deceiving…
Ours as been brilliant, works brilliantly every time. I couldn't justify paying hundreds for a machine that cooks one thing only.
What’s wrong with a pot and boiling water?
Usually you need to add rice to it.
jv prefers to add rice
Can't set and forget
You can. It used to happen every so often in our house until we got a rice cooker. Stuffed up quite a few pans that way.
I bought this for $19.99 at my local when it was on clearance back in April. I probably would've bought it at this price also, given it's performance, as it's an awesome rice cooker. Probably overkill for 1 person but I tend to make rice in batches anyway so it suits my needs well.
I've had mine for over 3 years and still going strong. Cooks rice really well.
Might buy another as a backup if the current one ever dies.
Hey @WatchNerd, did you spot the Crofton Donabe pots being sold by Aldi? I'm wondering if it'll be a decent buy..
Should wait until Jan 2025 to save $1.11 😛
