The Rice Cooker

I used to not like the rice cooker. I actually burnt rice trying to cook rice in it, so I was suspicious. Instead, I used a pot and boiled my rice in the pot. However, I have finally figured out how to use a rice cooker successfully, and it is now one of the most used items in my kitchen. The one i have also has a steamer basket, which makes steaming things a snap. The downside, however, is that to get the rice cooker to work, you have to use at minimum one scoop of rice, which is about three servings. That's where I was getting tripped up before, because I was trying to make one serving of rice, which doesn't really work. If you only want one serving of rice, use a pot. However, if you have space, invest in a rice cooker! It means that watching the rice is one less thing you'll have to worry about while cooking.
