If you are used to having Rice cooked in your home several times a month, your family treats Rice as more of a staple diet rather than an occasional meal. If your family loves the tasty and nutritious Rice so much, why don't you consider buying a Rice cooker and take your rice experience to the next level?
The thing about rice is, you rarely get the same rice twice, personally speaking, when I go look the markets for rice, I am faced by completely new types and kinds of rices, all different that what I faced on my previous attempt. That may not seem like much of a problem, but when I cook them, sometimes they break away, and sometimes they just dissolve too much, giving away starch.
If you are a good cooker, then I am sure that you can cook rice manually and eat good quality rice. Unfortunately not all of us can cook well. On the other hand, if you had an electric rice cooker, it would not matter if you were a good cooker or not. A rice cooker would cook the rice for you and would always give you a tasty meal.
Cooking rice in the traditional way can take up to 30 mins. Rice cookers take only a couple of minutes before the rice becomes ready to eat. Also, this is a energy-saving appliance that you can use anytime.
You can use a rice cooker for other things than cooking rice. Since it has a basket steamer, you can also steam small foods like vegetables, or steam you baby s bottles as well other things that you want to keep sanitary. Remember that technology and money are directly related, so the more thing you want in your cooker, the more you will end up paying.
There are different sizes for rice cookers. If you live alone or with one more person, then a 3 cup model would be great for you. For a family with 4 to 6 people, a 5 cup model is the best choice. There are also bigger/larger rice cookers (10 cup model, 30 cup model) if you need to cook for more people. You can use it to cook for a big family or for a restaurant.
