I disagree with rice cookers, just boil your rice like pasta and strain with mesh. Way less hassle, way less clean up, extremely predictable results - its what all the top-level chefs do and I myself learned this from my buddy, a former Michelin star chef turned comic store owner.

I completely disagree with having an additional gadget to do what you can do with standard kitchen equipment in a far superior way with just a little bit of care and skill.
