Thank you-

I have a pansonic bought 11 years ago. It has no wram feature. Called
Taiwanese style. The rice gets stuck at the bottom a little bit. If not
enough water, then a lot. It ha sbeen reliable.
You should have posted a link to that. I can see whether it looks
similar to mine.
I have a B&D rice cooker that I initially had bad results with until I
realized that I needed to put the ingredients in the right order. In
the case of my machine, I have to put the rice in first, then fill it
to the correct level with water. Also, you can't leave these things
on the warm setting for hours and expect no problems. I'm pleased
with mine: it does the job, and it's easy to clean up once I let the
cooking bowl soak a bit so the starch can release.

I have to agree with you. While I no longer cook rice, back when I did it
was perfect every time. It did take a little practice to get perfect, but
once I did it was perfect from then on.

I used a gas one.

The convenience for me is that I can forget about it. When I was in
school, I study by the stove and would cook on stove top.
Cooking in microwave works too.
I wanted that rice cooker but reluctant (guilty) to buy. I am trying
to cut down on rice (blood sugar issue)and eat more wheat.

Same here...but I do mine in the microwave...perfect every time. Now
it does take the usual 20 minutes...but that is ok.
I've asked the var. asians where i work what they use... universal response:
rice cooker. Most advocate the simple thermostatic model, with the
technophile Nihonjin favoring, of course, the fuzzy logic cooker. BTW, did
you ever see one of the Korean _pressure_ rice cookers? unbelievable.

We must not have the same model- clean up on my B&D is easy with no soaking,
but the rice is burnt on the bottom, even if I pull the plug right when it
snaps from cook to warm- I'm glad your having good luck with yours!

Rice cookers are all about not having to be right there at the end of
20 minutes of cooking to turn off the heat. That is their single
advantage, and for us, it's worthwhile as we have other food to
prepare and watch more closely.
I have a Panasonic SR-TMB10, which does great brown rice. Highly
recommended - it's a 'fuzzy logic' model, and cost me $69 at
Linens'n'Things.

They don't go with Asian dishes.

Can you share your brand and model?

Reading formt he review there, some like it, some doesn't but I think
if you put enough rice, ti should be okay. But I don't like the warmer
hting if it's gonna dry the rice. If that is the case, I prefer the one
w/o warmer.
pressure rice cooker? Any link? Pics?

You can spot them by of the extra knob on the lid.
