I too have several rice cookers one regular one fuzzy logic plus I've
made rice in a pot and in a microwave.

The reason I have 2 devices only for rice cooking is the older plain jane
rice cooker has a serious scratch in the non stick liner and I haven't
thrown it out yet.

The newer fuzzy one does a very good job of rice cooking...it doesn't
leave a brown skin on the rice on the bottom of the pot...which some folk
like. Which is just fine by me.

I don't have a brown skin on the bottom of the pot when I cook rice in
a regular pot on the stove...

I have never had a rice cooker, and will probably never ever get one.
I can think of other expensive kitchen toys that I would prefer to
buy... For instance, more great knives. And that ice cream maker I
inadvertantly got you to buy...

I like a rice cooker mainly because un-upervised it will make 1 cup or
oodles of rice and keep it warm for several hours. Plus I have a nice
rice cooker cooknook with 250 recipes to try.

Where exactly is this cooknook located and is it dedicated to only your
rice cooker? Seems like a cooknook could hold far more than a meager 250
recipes. :-)

Or, is it just getting to late to type. <veg>

I think the nature of rice cookers is that it does leave that brown stuff on
the bottom. Why the fuzzy doesn't, I don't have a clue. Does anyone?

I like the fuzzy one for the same reason, no brown skin. It also doesn't
pack as much. I usually use chopsticks to stir before serving instead of
cutting into it with a big spoon. The spoon as everyone knows is for
serving.

One thing that makes the fuzzy one more difficult to use is their
recommendation -- if you follow it -- is to wash the rice in another pot
instead of the pot that comes with it, so that the grain will not scratch up
the coating. Let's hope that the coating is harder than that -- but I have
followed their instructions on that count.

My older rice cookers are perfect steamers. I have no problem keeping them.

My old rice cooker didn't even have a steamer insert...it just cooks
rice.

My new rice cooker did come with a steam insert which I'll probably never
use.

I have a dedicated electric veggie steamer slash hard boiled egg maker. I
used this steam more often to hard boil eggs than to actually steam
anything.


Since I nuke my veggies mostly and I rarely steam anything else. I've
started noticing how many things I have to steam with...the wok, pasta
pot, rice cooker and the electric steamer this doesn't count the various
steamer pot inserts I have floating around in boxex and drawers,

Get those inserts into ONE PLACE!
This sort of thing can drive me crazy -- I don't know about you.
