Once I was dating a girl from Shanghai and I was cooking diner for us. We wanted rice so I started cooking it in a pot with a lid (no rice cooker) and she was flabbergasted. She told me she didn't know you could cook rice without a rice cooker. So I asked her, what do you cook if the power is out? She said noodles.

The last time I made rice without a rice cooker was when I did not know about rice cookers and I plan to keep it that way.

My biggest issues with rice cookers is that they take longer to cook rice then a pot with a lid, they often have Teflon coated inserts, and they can't cook pilaf or risotto.

the length of time it cooks is no biggie to me as I am only involed in filling it and emptying it. Our insta pot like combo cooker does fine so it might be a good alternative that does not have teflon. At least ours seems to just be stainless.
