This is the one I'm eyeing up now:Panasonic DE103
That's only $90 and looks like it does a lot of the same stuff as some of the $150 and up Zojirushi's. I'm not sure what the $600+ rice cookers do that's different. I'm not really capping my budget at $120, but i'm not trying to go crazy on a rice cooker either.
From what I understand it basically has temperature profiles for rice cooking that it hits using PID temperature control.
Pressure cookers are unitaskers? What are you, new? How can you call a cooking vessel a unitasker?
And a rice cooker is a great investment if you cook a lot of rice, like my girlfriend and me. I really like the Zojirushi brand, but we got this
Panasonic model off amazon for $80. It makes fluffy white rice, sticky rice, sushi rice, brown rice, rice pudding, porridge, oatmeal, and even cakes. It also has a steamer insert for steaming vegetables or meat, and we love doing steamed bao (dumplings) in it.
So stfu, Curll.
EDIT: did I mention it also makes soup, stew, polenta, and pretty much all your slow-cooker recipes, too?
I've had this Panasonic SR-DE103 for 4 years. makes good rice. I've made rice pudding and steelcut oatmeal.
I belive I've gotten my money's worth out of it.
I'm going to go against the grain and say that you are adding too much water. Some rice (eg. brown rice) soaking is required but gelatinous usually means you are adding too much water.
BTW there are lots of Japanese brand rice cookers that have a built-in clock that allow you to set a time on when you want your rice to be ready. This is the one I am currently using. I usually put the rice and water into the cooker in the morning and the rice is cooked by the time I get home from work.
