Do you own a rice cooker?

I do not have a rice cooker. I always just cook it on stove top. I never looked in the stores for one but they do have them around here (USA). Since ive become a gamer i found that i cook almost everything in the microwave. Even rice. I just use a casserole dish put in required amount of rice and water and zap away. I use a over sized dish because if you boil it too long it will boil over. Also i set it for a few minutes and keep turning it back on. This prevents boil overs. Thats really cool that you found the appliance that you can use. I have a cleaning job and recently found a small crock pot. I already have a big one but recently moved and my freezer is way smaller. I used to cook alot of beans and weight it off into 1 pound pkgs. Not able to do that now and hating to get the big pot out to cook smaller amount of beans. The little one found at the right time was really a great find. Its perfect for me.

We do own a rice cooker. Rice is a staple in our daily diet so it's best if we have a rice cooker. We can just wait for it to cook and turn off by itself while we do other things like maybe setting up the table or cooking the viand. Pots are ideal for those who would only eat rice occasionally. Though of course, if there isnt any electricity, the rice cooker wouldnt work so its still best to have pots for rice, in the house, just in case.^_^

Since rice is our staple diet, most people here do own a rice cooker...especially down south where they have red rice (which takes longer to boil). But I don't own one. I make rice the old-fashioned way (in a pot) or in a pressure cooker.

Yes, I have a nice rice cooker at home. It was given by my husband's company. This rice cooker has many features, including making the sushi rice:) We have used it for nearly 7 years and it still works fine. So I am pleased to its quality. I love China

i have rice cooker in my house from 10 years. it is so useful for me,when i go out. i will just rice and water in it and goes outside.by the time i come home,my rice is ready to eat. so rice is more useful for me. i can make plain rice,biryani rice(indian recipe),fried rice, or i can boil vegetables,or i can make desert recipes like kheer(indian sweet) in rice cooker. i can also make idli(indian breakfast item) recipe in it. i will also make vegetable curries in rice cooker. daily i will make rice in electric rice cooker or pressure cooker which are available in my country (or any country i think). u can buy it,in US also in any indian stores or any big malls . buy it if u want.

Ever since I've moved in with my fiance last September, we have thought of buying ourselves a rice cooker because it's easier to cook rice with it than a sauce pan or crock pots. We were very lucky to have spotted it on sale on Argos and we went ahead and bought it. It's a very good kitchen tool. I think some rice cookers come with those steamer tops so you can use it for rice and steaming other stuff like veggies.

I think you're pretty much limited to cooking rice in it. At least, that's all I've ever cooked in it. Interesting question though. Perhaps I should try cooking spaghetti noodles in it.

no,but i've been thinking of buying one.i've heard they cook the rice much better than standard on the stove type. brown rice in particular takes longer.

I didn't know they had things like this but then again I am single and hardly cook at all anymore...and I don't eat alot of rice.

haha =D Rice cooker is common in asia countries because rice is our main source of energy and rice is a must for every meal except for breakfast. LIke the name suggest, rice cooker is mainly for cooking of rice, while some creative people might use it to cook porridge as well. IF not, u can use it as a warmer to keep your food warm, but there's a keep warm function with the rice cooker.. hehe

Hey I stay in India and don't know if you know this, but here rice is almost a part of the daily cooking especially so in South India.So each household has a rice cooker popularly called pressure cooker simply because it uses the pressure of steam to cook the rice.There are so many varieties of rice you can prepare.Just search online for different rice dishes and you will be surprised what all you can do with rice.

We have one..It's very convenient to use and I think everyone, every family should have one. We can nook rice in it of course..and also egg sometimes.. and we also use it to reheat our food.

Ever since I was born..We've had a rice cooker.. And I love it since it cooks rice well and you can leave it to cook, it won't burn or anything.. We also use it to heat our viand sometimes.

I received a rice cooker from a chef friend of mine, it is sort of a wedding present. I use it very often for to cook rice here in Hungary. There are many families here without a rice cooker, but since I am asian, I eat rice often, and my husband loves to eat rice together with fried chicken too. Besides cooking rice in the rice cooker, I used it to steam vegetables like broccoli. At other times, I use it to steam a chinese rice flour cakes that is used in the 'Asian style Fried carrot cake'.

No I don't own a rice cooker, as I don't eat rice that much, and if I do I have the instant kind or make it in the microwave oven. I think a rice cooker is probably a great idea for people who eat a lot of rice though.

I do indeed own a rice cooker, and although it is probably possible to cook other things in it, I only use mine for rice. Electonic pressure cookers generally also have a rice setting, but my dedicated rice cooker's brand name is Aroma. I have had it many years and do see them in stores such as Kitchen Collection or Bed, Bath, & Beyond where they can be found next to the slow cookers.

Wow!! you are now in Hawaii? I think you are now close to the Philippines. Most people in the Philippines owned a rice cooker because rice is their staple food. They eat rice 3 times a day. Other things you can do with your rice cooker is to use it as steamer for your vegetables and other food you want to steam. But mainly, rice cooker is intended for cooking rice. Yes I have a rice cooker and I used it for cooking rice mainly.

Rice cookers are great! If it is like the one I had you can cook noodles and all manner or things. I never used it for a crock pot. It can steam vegetables and such too. I love this type of thing that cooks things quicker but still cooks it evenly and steamed it as well. Yum!

We have a rice cooker, they are all over the place here in the US, guess you just never noticed them. We only cook rice in it because that's the sole purpose of a rice cooker. Anything else can be cooked in the crock pot :)

we do have a rice cooker! here in asia its normal to have a rice cooker in the house... hehehe :))
