I Can't Cook Decent Rice!

You sound like quite a cook CFC

I don't really eat much rice these days - and if I do, mostly Basmati, Jasmine etc. and have found they tend to cook really well in a rice cooker.

it may be related to the market-audience of the steamer... my mother used to have an all-in-one steamer/rice cooker that would make the most horrible, undercooked rice in the world. my bf, on the otherhand, bought me a small Asian-style rice cooker that makes perfect rice every time with every type. of course, part of the secret is following the included directions on how much water to put in with each scoop of rice

i agree though, that unless you eat rice quite frequently, a rice-cooker is probably overkill. they take up a lot of space for what they are and the larger ones aren't the most energy efficient things in the world.

Yep, I agree. We had a little one - all the way from Hong Kong
