I always struggled to make rice, as did my mother. Imagine my surprise when my girlfriend hauled out this pot of magic, filled it, and hit one button (it only HAD one) and absolutely perfect rice came out.
One year I was banging my head over a gift for my wife, when I remembered that our kettle was getting kind of old so I got an electric kettle, but still felt horrible because it was just an appliance. Let me tell you, that’s the most used appliance in the house. She’s a tea drinker, so it was perfect.
ZOJIRUSHI my beloved. Those things are like magic. You can try a regular cheap rice maker and it… Makes some rice. Zojirushi? Best rice you’ll ever have in your life. And it sings a cute little tune at you when it’s done.
Rice cookers: about as useful as a vermicelli winder. What’s wrong with a plain old saucepan?
Swann and Flanders had the right idea: https://youtu.be/9Ko4biCUc4M
I refused to buy my Filipino wife a rice cooker in 1987 as it was $90 ($244 in 2024) and I felt we could not afford it as newlyweds in the USA. She blackened a quarter inch of rice in the bottom of the saucepan later that day and I suddenly realized we could, in fact, afford a rice cooker.

She’s my wife now.

For the record. Zojirushi rice cookers are hilariously overpriced

I can totally relate.. A ricecooker was the best present I have ever given someone as well. Do not doubt the rice cooker!

Last year’s model. It doesn’t use ChatGPT-enhanced fuzzy logic

Something about that emphasis on “makes” makes me think she thinks it *creates* rice.

I wonder what they got the dog.

Ayo got that Zojirushi even!
OG Nimbi
Lmao, that reaction xD

I couldn’t live without mine, seriously . It takes actual hours off the cooking time of my beans and rice dinners.
Willow
And it even plays a little song when it’s done! Japan is amazing, innit?

Unfortunately, as a half-Asian, I will already be bringing a rice cooker to the relationship…

Rice cookers are pretty cool. I’m a fan.
