Yeah, check Goodwills and estate sales. Old people like buying expensive nice shit, so you can pay pennies on the dollar for good stuff at Estate Sales.
Spend a couple hundred dollars once and never have to buy a rice cooker again, and have perfect rice every time. The total cost of my machine up to now is probably a couple pennies per batch of rice made (if that). They can also do more than just rice, I regularly steam veggies and even cook meat while my rice cooks.
That’s the advantage of high quality rice cookers, they can adapt if you get the ratios wrong. I’ve definitely been too drunk and added an extra 1/4 cup of water, but it does its best and still turns out okay.
What about a $200 machine? I see both Cuckoo and Zojirushi offers those too. I think I’m going to see what my local Hmart has the next time I go in there.
I’ve heard great things about the Cuckoos, my little Zojirushi is perfect though.
Oooh damn, I thought cuckoo was an adjective but it’s a brand name.

Damn you people are wealthy or just really really love your rice.
I bought my Zorirushi at Goodwill for $7.99.
And yes, I love my rice.

Some things are worth splurging on. Having said that, $500+ for a rice cooker is just too much. 😅
It always comes down to boot theory.
An instant pot does perfectly good rice too. Though it takes a bit of trial to get then ratios right.

Yeah, I get that. Shelf space is very limited though. :/
I’m of the opinion that if you have to cook your rice in a $600 machine, you like your machine more than you like rice
I can like both equally. My Zojirushi sings a lovely little song when it finishes cooking the rice, how could not love it.
