    Really only if you eat a lot of rice. For once a year or so, a pot on the stove works just fine. The actual benefit I’ve see for ricecookers is how well they can hold the rice for hours ready to go, but that’s more of a commercial benefit I think.

      For me, this is the primary benefit of a rice cooker. Having warm, cheap, filling food on demand at any time is fantastic. I am so lazy and my little rice buddies are always ready to go when I can’t be bothered.

      A rice cooker can serve as a cheaper instapot tho. I can steam rice and veggies without having to babysit a pot.

      I also have kitchen anxiety, and in a roommate situation can keep a rice cooker in my room.
