A ceramic rice cooker should do one thing very well: Produce fluffy, well-seasoned rice without any additional work on your part. These kitchen appliances take the guesswork out of cooking rice, allowing you to avoid gluey or overly-sticky food without having to monitor the rice as it cooks.
Some considerations you’ll want to factor in include size, ‘smart’ abilities, and durability. Because these appliances can be costly, you’ll want to make sure yours is geared to last for a long time. Look for solid ceramic, non-stick interiors; and if the rice cooker comes with plastic tools and directions not to scratch the interior, that’s a good sign.
Look over the list of pre-set cooking options to see if the rice cooker is capable of keeping rice warm or cooking different types of rice - you’ll want your appliance to be capable of many different preparations. Finally, consider the size. If you’re just cooking for one or two people, stick to a 2-4 cup container to save kitchen space. Cooking for a crowd could justify anything up to a 12-20 cup size.
If you're pondering on whether a rice cooker is worth buying, then you'll need to consider a few factors, such as how often you cook rice and how much you value your time. This is because a rice cooker may be an additional appliance; however, it is a useful one at that.
There's nothing easier than throwing in your favorite variety of rice, be it white, brown or something exotic, pressing a button or two and getting perfectly cooked rice every time. The bonus is that you barely need to lift a finger or watch over it while it cooks, which means you can use that time to complete other household tasks or just relax.
Burnt rice is also a thing of the past with the ceramic rice cooker as it contains a thermostat that automatically shuts off and some rice cookers have a warm setting to keep the rice at a nice temperature until you are ready to eat.
