It COULD happen, but a pot on the stove has too many variables going on to really expect prefect rice every time.
A fully sealed insulated rice cooker using computer controlled cooking is clearly going to give more consistent results than a pot on the stove top that can be affected by differences in the ambient air temp, humidity, and the fact the heat is only being applied from directly underneath and then radiating up and into the air making the top of the pot cooler than the bottom of the pot which will cause inconsistent heating throughout the pot.

Good rice cookers are not only insulated and computer controlled, but can also have multiple heating elements placed underneath, on the sides, and even above the inner pot, giving a MUCH more controlled heat that reaches the entire pot equally and consistently.

Steps to make rice:
>1. Wash & put in pot
>2. Add appropriate quantity water
>3. Ignite flame
>4. Determine when rice is finished & turn off flame
>5. Let rest before open

A rice cooker eliminates two of these steps, specifically 2 and 4, which are the crucial parts where the process can go wrong. A rice cooker indicates the proper quantity of water needed, and it automatically turns off when the rice has finished cooking and before it burns. I can cook rice in a saucepan, I've even done it on a campfire. The ability to walk away and forget about your rice, and just come back later to a perfectly done batch each time without burning or misjudging water and getting crunchy/soggy rice, is definitely worth the $15 and pantry space to get a rice cooker.

Nah, it only eliminates 4. Adding the right amount of water is your job.

>b-but the pot has markings
If you actually care about the quality of your rice, you'll notice that different rice demands different amounts of water, even the same type (like jasmine) can vary by brand.
Furthermore, while a rice cooker can do a basic job of 4, it's not quite as good as timing yourself in my experience, rice will overcook on the bottom a little bit. After a few trials you can do better on the stove. Keep warm is a nice feature though and is more annoying to do yourself.

I'm sure an expensive rice cooker is worth it if you constantly cook the one variant of rice it's optimized for, but that doesn't seem too common outside of japan. Go for it if you're that much of a weeb I guess.

How fucking retarded are you? The rice cooker controls the heating element, not the user. When a rice cooker makes the bottom of your rice crispy, it's because the rice cooker is a primitive device that doesn't turn off fast enough. It's not even possible for the user to control this unless they time and turn off the whole thing, which defeats the entire point of a rice cooker.

Idgi, why is extra labor for zero flavor worth it? Can you add ingredients to stovetop rice during cooking that you couldn't in an electric cooker? It doesn't seem like there would be much overlap between people who to cook rice and people who don't own a rice cooker, so if they make the same food with same flavor, there's no reason to set the rice cooker aside.

who think a cheap $10 rice cooker does anything that pot doesn't. It's just a crude automatic version of what you could do yourself, and you'll do a better job with even minor experience. Heat is heat and a cheap cooker isn't doing anything special.

>watched pot
No

>LOTS of trial and error
No. Here's how it goes when cooking in a pot

First try
>slightly worse than rice cooker but perfectly edible
Second try, adjusted for whatever went wrong
>equal to rice cooker
Third try, adjusted again
>better than rice cooker

As long as you measure and have a brain cell available to identify what went wrong, you'll make better rice than a cheap cooker by your 3rd batch. And so on forever more, unless you get amnesia, or change your pot/stove and have to recalibrate a little.
And BTW you should be adjusting like that with a rice cooker, too, in terms of the amount of water you put in, if you want good rice.

A barebones rice cooker automatically cooks the rice such that there is zero water at the bottom of the pot at the time the element shuts off. It does this by using a magnetic switch that loses magnetism once it goes above 100c, which is what would happen if the water evaporated. Doing this ensures the rice is never left soggy like >>17278791's is. You can make 70% good rice in a pot on the stove, but you'll never make it right because the rice will dwell too much at a lukewarm temperature with the typical stovetop method of boiling rice and water together and then covering and letting them sit with the heat off. Obviously, this creates goopy and unappealing rice that doesn't have its fragrances fully extracted, but it's apparently good enough for retards who want to save 10 dollars and a cubic 10 inches of counter space. Fuzzy logic rice cookers are even better at holding the rice at the correct temperature and shutting off at the correct time.

>automatically cooks the rice such that there is zero water at the bottom of the pot at the time the element shuts off

I get that idea, but I've used two different cheap rice cookers in my time (partly because I believed the meme about better rice, stovetop is hard, etc) and each one made the bottom a bit too crispy to the point of being a bit burnt. I'd love if it gave me "perfect" rice like you say, but apparently waiting for the bottom to exceed 100c required it to get a bit too dry. Hell the "nonstick" coating always had some shit stuck to it, which doesn't happen in my uncoated pot on the stove.

I kinda liked the keep warm feature anyway, although it definitely wouldn't last overnight like >>17278864 said, the rice would get noticeably worse in like an hour. But it wasn't worth the counter space at all, and I sometimes like to cook rice differently, like toasting it, sauteeing garlic in a bit of butter first, etc. I don't see how a pot is hard at all and in practice I get better rice without the burning.

>>17278857
>covering and letting them sit with the heat off
Is that what people do? Seems like it wouldn't work well, since the temp would be too low like you say. I just leave the heat on low until the water should be just about evaporated, then let it rest. I'm pretty sure a cheap cooker isn't doing anything that I'm not doing, besides the fact that I have to guess at the time.

Sounds like you were not adding the correct amount of water, bud. Perhaps your method has more wiggle room to the goal of not crisping up the rice, which isn't surprising, but the very obvious caveat is that your rice is not cooking properly. I'm sure this doesn't bother you because you have things like pride and low standards ingrained in you from whatever gay upbringing you had, but you should be more open.

It isn't that the rice takes 30+ minutes to get up to temp, it's that it has to absorb water to soften.

Nice thing about the pot though, is that most people have multiple sizes, so you can use a little pot to make little rice, big pot for lots of rice. It would be retarded to multiple sizes of rice cooker like this. Team pot wins again

"following instructions" isn't the whole story. The package of rice won't know what pot or cooker you're using, and the rice cooker manual won't know exactly what rice you're making. You should be willing to adjust yourself desu, although it's hardly rocket science

The inside of the cooker was already heated to boiling or near-boiling for an hour. There's not a single bacterium alive in there when it's done. As long as it stays closed you could keep it warm for weeks and nothing would grow.

>Crispy bit at the bottom
This is actually the starch in the water settling down to the bottom and hardening when it dries. You prevent this by washing the rice or by stirring it halfway through cooking to redistribute the starch. Though I don't bother with either, I actually like that crispy starchy paper that forms.

My rice cooker has a little tray where I can put stuff that needs to be steamed on. Whenever I have leftover chicken I put it on there while the rice boils to reheat it, pretty based desu.

There is no logical reason why rice from a stove and pot can't be as good as a rice cooker. They do the exact same thing, but instead of having a machine control the heat and time, it is controlled manually when using a stove and pot. As long as you control the heat and time correctly, rice from a stove and pot should be just as good as a rice cooker.

There is no special magic, its just heat and time.

To make rice as good *as a cheap rice cooker* on a stove would require watching the pot almost the entire time, which is a huge bitch, and it would require a lot of guesswork. To make rice as good as an expensive (well, $40) rice cooker on the stove is borderline impossible. I really don't understand why you would want to one-pot rice of all things when you could have perfect rice EVERY TIME, not just ONE TIME in a while, while the entire process is hands off and frees up your stove space. What are you gonna do, never cook something else while you have rice going on the stove? You're out of your fucking mind, especially because you'll also be lacking the keep warm function of a rice cooker. Honestly unbelievable that anyone would shill against them.

And yet it’s not just as good. It never is.
What is just as good is rice cooked in clay or heavy iron pots over a flame. Which is what good rice cookers are designed to emulate.
But long grain poverty gruel on a stovetop is never good.

surprised there aren't more asian anons answering this. the high end rice cookers are a bit more than this. it's a computer controlled pressure cooker. It will precisely control temp and pressure release. The rice containers also have very even heat distribution so the rice cooks evenly. it's probably a bit more critical for short grain rice which seems to be a bit harder to cook well than long grains. another thing they do well is keep rice moist and fresh for long periods of time. easily 24 hours and even 48 hours is pretty acceptable.

for people who eat rice every day getting consistently high quality rice, automatically is worth the $400 rice cooker price tag. it's a convenience thing. if you ate bread every day that you couldn't buy from the store and had to make at home, wouldn't you invest in a bread maker that makes consistently superior bread every time with no effort?

pic related, about $350 retail where i am. they wear out and have to be replaced every 5 years or so with daily use.
