Japanese Engineering at its finest
I've always considered it a point of culinary pride to cook rice by hand in a normal cooking pot. That is until I ended up with a 2-year-old who is a very picky eater, with rice one of the items on her "approved" list. Suddenly making rice went from a couple of times a month event to a couple of times a week. It was time to simplify the process of making rice. I looked at various models, read all the reviews on amazon and opted for the $105 rice cooker rather than the $20 one. I have not been disappointed.
