Rice is one of the most basic ingredients of almost all culinary cultures on earth. With so many options and quite a few nutritional benefits, a rice cooker is a must-have in any kitchen. Here’s everything you need to know before getting a rice cooker.
There are of course a variety of rice cookers, but in principle, this is an electric pot with a large volume that includes two modes—cooking and keeping warm. High-quality rice cookers know how to adapt to the type of rice and also automatically switch from the cooking mode to the heat-saving mode.
One advantage of using a rice cooker over cooking rice in a regular pot is that it is time savings. A second advantage is that there is no fear of the rice burning due to overcooking. The rice cooker knows when the rice is ready and accordingly switches to heating only. All you have to do put the amount of rice you want to make in the rice cooker, the right amount of water, and press the button. It really is that simple!
