-Rice cookers are great if you love great rice
-The cheap 1-button rice cookers aren’t very good beyond 1-button convenience. They’re literally an ancient design based on a Toshiba model from ~70yrs ago. They will give you rice on-par with a stovetop pot, because they’re just an electric pot that turns itself off.
-Decent ($150ish+) Japanese models are dialed in for short grain as default but can cook other types just fine. Zojirushi gives instructions on what to adjust to cook rice varieties which don’t have a dedicated setting.
-No, nobody buys a decent rice cooker because they “can’t cook rice”.
-No, the rice you make in a pot on your stove is not as good as what a decent rice cooker makes.
-The “boundary” point for “decent rice cooker” is fuzzy logic, or micom, or whatever equivalent the manufacturer likes to call it’s dynamically-adjusting sensor/logic-based cooking cycle.
-Beyond that, it’s diminishing returns. Induction is nice and gives you a somewhat better result. Pressure+IH is nice and gives you a somewhat better result than induction alone. Those things are good if you’re serious about your rice and have the extra budget. Otherwise, just go with “fuzzy logic”.
-If you live in Japan, Zojirushi=Tiger=Panasonic.
-If you live in North America, Zoji > Tiger once you get past $150 because Zoji invests more in exporting newer/better stuff to the NA market.
-If you live in Europe, Zoji hates you and offers you 10yo models at the price of their current upper-end NA models. Go with YumAsia or Cuckoo.
-If you legitimately have to ask if it’s a “meme” or “worth it” and need input from autistic randos on /ck/, then no, a decent rice cooker probably isn’t a worthwhile purchase for you.

Yeah the luxury ones work real good as both a rice cooker and a all in one device.
I love making different kinds of vegetable filled pasta dishes in them. Usually i replace most of the water with tomato sauce to prevent it from foaming. Top it with vegetable stock, garlic, onions and cheese after scooping it out and you're ready to go.

vs 40-60 minutes to make BETTER rice, and zero minutes of actual attention, it can also be made hours before it is going to be served and just sit there waiting for you being kept in perfect condition until you're ready to use it.

it also doesn't take up a burner on your stove.

Used to have one of the cheap rice cookers that always burned rice. Got an Instant Pot and used its rice setting -- it was a huge difference, although I did find that with smaller batches some still got a little browned. I went ahead and got a Zoji 3-cup cooker so that I could do smaller amounts for myself and use the Instant Pot for when I have guests.
Being able to walk way from the cooking without having to worry about a pot boiling over's a plus. Because no matter what you do, that pot will boil over.

The consensus is that the high end model or the super low end model are both excellent choices. I have the cheapy $20 and it is fantastic. I don't have to watch the stove and can focus on cooking or other things I need to be doing. I find them way more useful than most other appliances.

If you eat rice 4 or more times a week. I'd say a good Zoji rice cooker is worth it.
If you eat 1-3 times a week, then one of the cheaper Zoji rice cookers are worth it.
If you eat rice less than once a week, get one of the really basic ones, or learn to just cook rice in a pot and get it dialed in yourself.

The Japanese brands are designed assuming short-grain japonica as a default.
So the markings on the bowl and whatnot are for that.
They can absolutely do short/medium grain to perfection; of course minor adjustments to the water/rice levels are sometimes needed.
Zoji has a page where it gives adjustment instructions for each model of rice maker.
https://www.zojirushi.com/grains/
A few of their newer models also have a jasmine setting.

I mean, if you fucking eat rice everyday and want to live out your weeb anime fantasies I guess? I like rice, but I couldn't eat it everyday. I suppose lots of people can just live on rice and nothing else, had a fat weeb friend in college that would buy a 50lb bag of rice and told me he would just eat that everyday to lose weight.

A rice cooker isn't only for rice. It can be used for a variety of dishes.
I've personally made a lot of cake, soup, eggs, spaghetti, fruit, juice and jam in mine. It's definitely a worthwhile investment.

Oh great, we got the YumAsia shills who always seem to perk up because they literally search the company title. All across the internet you'll find replies with 1 post count about how great their products are using marketing terms.

It's LITERALLY rebranded Chink shit. How do you not see this? It's the same with Reishunger and Drew and Cole and all that other shit. Order a bunch from a chink wholesaler, change the packaging, maybe even some of the buttons to try and hide the fact it's chink shit from chink wholesaler, but the products are all the exact same. The shell is the same, the electronics are the same, everything except a couple of tiny little aesthetic differences

seems fair to me.
in general plastic tools are unpleasant to work with, because they will always feel subpar, flimsier, lighter.
obviously going all metal is pure luxury and it is in most cases an unnecessary expense. but enjoying the tools you work with is something hobby cooks can afford if they want to.
same thing with bowls, a plastic one is even superior to porcelain because good luck breaking it. but even my cheapo chinky porcelain 1ls feel far more pleasant than the plastic one i now only use for storage of freshly cut shit that is soon to get wok'd.

overall i doubt that shit gets enough atmospheres or c° to fuck up thermal resistant plastics. i dont think pressure cookers go beyond 140c, but iirc due to pressure that counts as higher - no clue whether that even affects inorganic shit water cant faff about inside of.

>>17234780
Asian restaurants don’t use the high-end ones with advanced logic and whatnot, because they usually want quantity over quality.
They’ll often use zojirushi brand, but it will be their huge foodservice models which are much more simplified.

The super high-end Asian restaurants that serve amazing rice will usually have someone actively making it in a pot over a fire, which is considered the gold standard of cooking rice and is what high-end rice makers are working toward as the ultimate endgame.

As far as Australia goes, sorry, I have no clue. Australia basically uses European electric/voltage standards, right? This means your options are going to be a lot more limited.
The only reason North America has a lot more options is due to the voltage being damn near the same as Japan. So there’s very little investment involved for Japanese companies to convert domestic spec models to North American spec for export.

Looking up rice cookers on Australian Amazon, it’s mostly brands I know nothing about as far as the more advanced-looking ones go.
“Russel Hobbs” and “Drew&Cole”.

Sorry, wish I could be more helpful.

No idea, but I can say the Zoji rice cookers sold in Europe are basically ~10yo models priced at what the current higher-end NA models are.

Or to be blunt, I absolutely love my Zoji, but if I were in Europe I would definitely not pay the prices asked for the obsolete models offered.

Depends on the rice cooker

Some of the more basic ones that just heat from the bottom with no fuzzy logic are basically like an electric pot.

But the higher-end ones that can keep rice warm for 24+ hours? Heating the rice from 3-5-7+ heating elements located strategically to evenly heat the rice far better than any pan on the stove being heated from a burner could do.
Not to mention Fuzzy logic which can be set for multiple different kinds of rice, or specific rice firmness level.

it also ensures optimal steaming time, temp, some models can also do steaming trays or do cakes, pancakes, and similar breads and shit.

The Japanese models are also generally designed first and foremost for Japanese (japonica) short/medium grain rice, and NOT various long grain rice verities (jasmine, basmati, etc) that tend to be cheaper "staple" rices.

Though if you're spending $100-300+ on a rice cooker, you're probably fine spending $15-25 for a 5-10lbs bag instead of $5-10.

even my cheapo did rice near perfectly. only variables are soaking the rice beforehand, washing it (which you do no matter the cooking method if its only rice you cook), and water to rice ratio.
the default ratio is 1:1.5, start a cup there and then try other ratios in .1 steps.

It tastes and cooks better, but there are diminishing returns, obviously. It's a luxury item. If you regularly eat rice and can afford a nice machine that will probably last you at least a decade, go for it. Even better if you have a family you cook for. If you're not that serious about rice, a $30 one is still nicer than boiling it yourself if you're not concerned about it taking up space.

For products sold in Japan.
There's no need to buy a rice cooker under $100, you can make better rice with a cheap pot and stove.
If you buy a rice cooker over $100, you can cook rice more consistently and better than with a cheap pot.
From about $250, you will start to feel the difference in taste.

That $250 rice cooker sells for $500 in the US.

I have two questions:
1. I haven't seen an improvement/difference in taste between a pot and cheap rice cookers, I have never had a premium model. But I'm only cooking Basmati.
Would buying an expensive model be worth it for long grains tastewise?
2. Why not cook it with Iga-yaki Donabe clay pots if that is tastewise the best and if one is cooking with gas anyway?

I have two answers:
1. You’re correct in seeing no improvement, because there is fundamentally no difference between a stovetop pot and a cheap rice cooker. The technology is 1950’s era.
If you’re going to *only* cook basmati, I do not believe a higher end Japanese rice cooker with a lot of functionswould be worth your money. However you might want to consider one of the cheaper models that still include “fuzzy logic”, as you could follow the alternate instructions (zoji provides model-specific info on how to adjust the rice/water amounts for various grains). There also seem to be a lot of “how do I make basmati in a rice cooker?” recipes online. It will still give you perfect rice. The decent models also offer nice convenience in the form of timers; it isn’t a delay, but rather, you tell it when you want the rice to be *done*.
Of course it also depends on how often you’d be using it as to whether or not it’s worth it.
2. I actually have two iga-yaki donabe; one is a typical donabe and one is designed for rice in particular.
I enjoy using them for rice when I have the time to give it the attention needed. But that often isn’t the case.
Also, *actual* iga-yaki donabe easily cost as much as a good rice cooker.
But a good cooker has a lot of tech benefits; always perfect rice, intelligent timer (you tell it when you want the rice to be *done*), will literally keep it fresh/warm for an entire day, etc.
consequently, the “endgame” of high-end rice makers in Japan is to produce the same result as a donabe over a flame.
The most expensive models are already incorporating heavy nambu iron pots and using multiple induction coils to replicate the heating of open fire.

I only know the cheap one-button solutions for 20-40€ and they always burnt rice and the bottom and were not tastier than rice cooked in a pot, just more convenient.

Not that anon, but the short answer as to why they “prefer” it is that short grain rice is the native variety.
So it’s what they’ve eaten for centuries, and it’s what their recipes are built around.
It does have a unique texture and good koshihikari has a great flavor to it.

They’re getting closer all the time. In Japan, rice makers are like cars. The big manufacturers try to outdo each other every year with their top models for rich people. Their top end ones cost well over $1000usd.
But as with cars, the tech trickles down to cheaper models with time.

Be sure and double-check that you can use those things; most traditional Japanese clay pots can *only* be used with flame; electric heat sources would damage them.

Most models are 12-24 hours, some go up to like 40 hours.

I don't think any go beyond that really.

It's difficult to keep something at temp without bad shit being able to grow in it. So you're not really supposed to go super long on the keep warm function.

No, or sorta, depending on what you mean.

It's edible after a day and a half, but not as good. It also depends on the model, ofc.

Anything after a day and a half I would not trust.

If you think you won't use the rice until after lunch the next day, just keep it in the fridge and reheat it. But, ofc, maybe your keeds are pretty different from mine. I would still maintain that you should not let your rice be in the "stay warm" setting for longer than a day and a half, though.

I don’t have that exact model but I’d say go for it.
Just make sure you get some premium short grain rice to try it out with, like some good koshihikari.
I’d also go with the smaller model unless you’ll frequently be cooking for a family or guests, because it will be able to properly cook smaller amounts.
The zoji website has manuals for all of them and it will have a table of a the smallest recommended amounts of rice per setting for a given model.

There is 0 room for error, the rice cooker knows exactly when enough water is out of the rice for the optimal rice, theoretically you could replicate this on your own but it would require a very strong understanding of your pan, the type of rice, how much water you use, the exact heat of your oven, ect.
Why do all that when you can just press a button and let the inexpensive machine do it for you?

>Are rice cookers worth it?
Are rice cookers worth the amount they commonly sell for? Hell no. Cook rice in a saucepan with a lid, if you cannot cook rice you have not earned your right to better food.

But you can commonly find them in new condition, usually still in the box, at thrift stores and resale shops for $5 or less.

If you eat rice several times a week, yes. If you don’t, it’s probably a waste. Which model you buy also matters quite a bit. I used to have one of those cheap $20 one button cookers and the rice quality was just meh, but recently I splurged and got an expensive Japanese model and the difference is stark. The rice comes out cooked to perfection like in a Japanese restaurant every single time, it’s really great. Also the delayed timer setting is really nice for cooking oatmeal overnight. Just dump in your ingredients, set the time that you plan to wake up at and you have a bowl of fresh oatmeal waiting for you the second you get out of bed.

This is the only good answer in the thread. Of course, make sure you're getting one with a stainless steel pot, and not the gay aluminium pot. Just pour in boiling water if you're worried about the longer time it takes, but stainless is easier to clean

Sushi rice is just short grain rice that is cooked with a bit less water, and then you use rice vinegar when making your sushi to add a bit of additional moisture (and flavor) to the rice.

Anything labeled sushi rice just means it's a rice that is good for sushi. But you can use all sorts of rice, koshihikari, calrose, etc. There isn't a specific "sushi rice" breed

rice cookers genuinely make cooking rice extremely easy and impossible to fuck up. You can't improve upon it, rice cooker will always cook rice perfectly, whereas if you walk away from the stove or have an emergency of some kind you can end up burning the rice easily

It's not elitism for me. I can just put it in the rice cooker and not have to worry about it. I've never been able to do rice well on the stove. I've had it stick to the bottom of the pot. I've had it boil over. I hate having to wash the pot even if it doesn't stick or boil over. My cheap, little rice cooker cooks it perfectly and is easy to clean.

Yeah a lot of people get them as gifts and never use them, like almost every kitchen gadget. Why is that surprising? Just because you like something and think it's cool and useful doesn't mean your friend wants one.
