Has anyone ever used instant (minute) rice in one?  We just bought a box and I don't want it to go to waste.  I also just bought a rice cooker and really want to use it!!  TIA!

    We have a rice cooker (love it!)...I feel like instant rice would get wayyy overcooked, unless you could somehow time it and switch it over to "warm" at the right time?

    Can someone explain to me the benefits of a rice cooker? Maybe I'm just a phenomenal rice chef (unlikely), but I think rice is the easiest thing in the world to make.

    I'm not flaming someone that does have a rice cooker - plenty of people do, and they all seem to love it!

    Rice def isn't hard to make.  The rice cooker is nice b/c you just drop in the rice & water and walk away.  It cooks perfectly, no watching, and automatically goes to warm when done.

    The rice is also kind of stickier/clumpier...good for those who like chopsticks...

    I can make regular rice without it.  But if I want true sticky rice, the kind they serve in really nice Asian restaurants(or in China, lol), I have to have to use a rice cooker.

    Oh, gotcha! You're right - it's hard to make appropriate sticky rice on the stove.
