I've only owned two rice makers in my life... they aren't used as much
as Carol's but they were used almost daily at one point. The first
one still worked but was old, so I replaced it. The second one still
works but is old and I don't need such a large size these days. 6
cups is more than we'd need at any one time now, so I'd like to get
rid of the big one and get myself a smaller one. I don't need a rice
cooker to do anything other than cook and hold the rice. Something
like this will work for me... and hey, it's red!

That's cute!

But it hasn't got "fuzzy logic" like my Zoji!

Grin, it's the exact item I got when I burned out my last rice maker.
Totally a good unit for a small family or even a singlit use.

No problem! A Zoji is overkill in price even for our needs. You need
to be feeding 8 people at the least for them to make sense. That does
happen in extended families but doesnt really fit many of us now.

This simple unit above is inexpensive, works well to smaller amounts,
and is more versatile since you can steam a second item above.

Saw the pic (um, going brain dead on name of poster but was the
remainder of a panko meat with some potatos and pickle), well the
potatoes would have done lovely in the top steamer as a rice batch
cooked.

Ours is doing a first batch of short grain rice for sticky rice balls.
In the top I am softening some dehydrated figs.

I plan to make an apple and fig pie later (I like that mix, sue me!).

Actually, I hadn't even considered that combination before but it
doesn't sound bad.

I still like the idea of the fuzzy logic, and getting the rice done
fluffy, sticky or hard-crispy. Also the congee. The Zojirushi water
boiler we got is a delight, and one of the reasons I continue to
consier their rice maker. Clearly the current one-switch panasonic is
going to live another 15 years at the very least.

I can taste the difference between beet and cane sugars; and cane is
noticeably better for baking, caramel etc.
