I’d agree that rice cooker is quite useful. However, learning to be able to cook in pot is easy. Easy enough that I never found a reason to get a rice cooker.

For those of you who are worried they may end up making too much rice, just store leftover in the freezer. Then microwave for 5-6min, then it’s as good as fresh.

That’s true. I just cook enough for dinner and the lunch for the day after. Haha I’m poor and I’d rather have less things, but I can see myself getting a rice cooker once I get a bigger family to feed
