This is kind of embarrassing, but, I replaced my Zojirushi with this cheap amazon rice cooker and I have no regrets. I love the novelty of the cute handle that makes dishing plates super easy.
It does not have 'specialty' settings like brown rice, but, it cooks the rice in less than 20 minutes. The giant Zojirushi took a full hour for a rice cook cycle.
>>21461955 (OP) Stop being (((cheap))) and just get a decent rice cooker. Also, Google is free, babes

>>21461994 Thanks! I'm not really too concerned about specialty settings, I used to have an old Hitachi rice cooker from the 70s my mom gave me but one of my fucking faggot idiot friends destroyed it.
I just made rice. Put rice and water in pot Boil Cover and reduce to low Come back in 10 minutes or whatever Take off heat Come back whenever Perfect rice.

>>21461955 (OP) At that price point its pretty much not gonna matter that much. You could get a smaller zojirushi but it wont have fuzzy logic or that.
And if you scratch the nonstick pot the replacement costs basically the same as a new unit.

>>21461994 That is embarrassing. The cooking time was the same. The zojirushi was soaking the rice before and letting it steam after. Thats the extra time.

>>21461955 (OP) All rice cookers are lined with plastics on the inside, you're literary poisoning yourself. Cook your rice in a pot like a white person.
>>21463135 As in ingesting actual poison in small doses, opposed to eating "bad" food that people call "poison" to shill their latest nutrition pseudoscience. Heated plastic is actual poison.
>>21463143 don't listen to this guy plastic made in china with minimal safety regulations is perfectly safe to consume food out of after it's been heated

i just made rice on Instant Pot. the trick for this is i let the pressure out naturally. you don't want to be greedy and manually let the steams out. it ruins the flavor. (rice or any other dishes). just let it do its own thing.

Instant Pot Pro owner here. It does perfect rice both long and short grain.
And hella lot more. Saw them for ~$60, which is a bloody steal. Consider.
what a coincidence I just paypigged this one I like how the included rice paddle is nonstick. there's no residue on the paddle or the pot just after rinsing with water
my boomer had an instant pot already but I did not like using it. It was way too big and annoying to clean. and the lid comes off completely. and it made mushy rice when I tried
I'm going to save so much money ricemaxxing anyway

>>21461955 (OP) >cheap Instapot or crockpot. Both are able to cook rice and both do other things. As well as keep it warm.
If you want fast, get a traditional clay pot. Cooks on the stove, and gets you rice that asians drool over. They are like 30 bucks. Don't get the fancier more expensive cast iron ones, get the cheaper clay ones.

>>21462025 Get one of the clay pots off Amazon then. They are like 30 right now, even has a handle. They have nonstick designs too.
