A silly over-generalization. Restaurants and good home cooks use them,
too. I know you like good tools, so you should check out the Zojirushi
brand of cookers. Very sophisticated and versatile technology that
lets you select among many settings for different kinds of rices.

I'm using a pot now for rice because I'm back where I have a gas stove
and limited counter space. A couple of years ago I had to cope with an
electric stove but I had a lot of counter space. Under those
circumstances the rice cooker was clearly the better way to go.

It was a $20 barebones model that did fine. Didn't need all the
capabilities of the Zojirushi but admired its technology nonetheless.
