Yes, that has been my attitude for all these years, but lately I have
been trying to eat more whole grains, as well as more brown rice. And
I have heard through various food blogs and such, that the rice
cookers do a much better job than cooking it on top of the stove. Not
sure why, but it is a selling point for me.

Plus I hear it cooks steel cut oats very well... And when I eat
oatmeal, which is pretty often, I go with steel cut oats.
