It’s one of those things where once you have properly cooked rice you’ll look at anyone boiling it in a pot like you would a caveman trying to use a cellphone.
I do have an egg steamer, that I similarly thought was for the weak and infirm until I used it. I love that little fucker now. Of course it only cost like 20 bucks… Something that costs hundreds better give me a happy ending after I eat my rice.
Mine was about $100 when I got it years ago. The same model is going for $150 now.
Your mileage may vary on its usefulness, but to me being able to wash rice and toss it into the pot then forget about it while I make everything else is kinda like the cooking equivalent to getting a second monitor. Not required and is kind of a luxury, but it’s super useful to have and it improves your workflow.
I was skeptical too until I got one. I don’t know how much technology it actually uses but I will say ever since I started using it my rice has come out p. much the exact same every. single. time. It’s like magic. The consistency of the results of this thing compared to a $10 rice cooker is insane.
I’m not like scientifically measuring the water or rice either. I just use a japanese rice cup and eyeball the water.
Comes out perfectly fluffy every time. I love my Zojirushi. There’s a reason they’re a standard wedding present in Japan. Super high quality and buy-it-for-life.
Yeah, that Zojirushi has enough computers in it to adjust to most user mistakes. And anyone spending the money on one would know that.
How much money and technology is required to cook fucking rice?
How much you got?
