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.
