Perfect every time.
It is so far, a nice quiet day here.
Mark will be going to my sister's house for the night, Sebastian will be staying with me, and I'll have to figure out what the heck to cook he and I for dinner.
I have the most awesome recipe for sweet n' sour chicken poured over rice, but every time I make it, the boys refuse to eat the rice.
It's because I am probably the only person alive who can screw up instant rice.
I love rice, and I know the boys do like it, they eat it elsewhere, so I know it's the way I personally cook it.
So maybe if I had one of those rice cookers, I wouldn't mess it up so bad.
Lucky for me, Buy.com has one on sale this week as part of their weekly deals.
They have a Fujitronic 10-cup electric rice cooker, for just $26.99
The regular price is $54.99, so that's a huge $28 dollar savings.
It comes in either a flower or turtle pattern, and is a multi-function use pot. It can make perfect rice, porridge, or soup. Has an automatic keep warm function, a non-stick inner pot for easy cleaning, and helps make even terrible rice cookers like me, be able to cook perfect rice every single time.
At the sale price, it is definitely something I can afford to pick up, and then maybe the teens will eat my most awesome sweet n' sour chicken with rice dish.

Instant rice for the most part is ok. I prefer the long cook rice. So.. I think I am going to check this out!

my mom got me a ricecooker for x-mas one year. it is probably the greatest appliance i have, and the only one i use regularly.
the rice is perfect every single time. every time my mom needs rice for something, she calls me up and has me make her a batch. :)

We have a rice cooker & I love it. I never did get the hang of cooking it, but it's perfect every time now :)

I have one and I never use it. I seem to have no trouble cooking rice. After all, Bistro Express only takes 2 minutes in the microwave ;-D
