For rice, the rice cooker removes even the need to set a timer. You dump in water and rice, push a button, and it will tell you when the rice is done. The rice will be perfect every time. And it will keep the rice warm (without re-cooking it) for as long as you need. Plus you can be cooking rice, and use your microwave for other parts of the meal.
Moving beyond rice, they also work as a steamer. You can even cook rice and steam vegetables/dumplings/etc at the same time.
I have this one - $40 shipped from Amazon.

I use mine a couple times a week. The convenience of a rice cooker is well worth the price to me. Before I had a rice cooker I would cook rice rarely. Now I have it all the time. I'm about ready to go back to the Asian store and get another 25# bag. ..don't buy the overpriced grocery store crap if you can help it.
I saw someone else recommended the one by cooks illustrated. Great show and magazine. Go with that one first. I think mine is pretty awesome if that one doesn't work for you.
