Who Wants Rice?
I used to cook rice by boiling it in a saucepan. I ruined enough rice to cover Elizabeth Taylor’s set of weddings. Then I got a vegetable steamer with a rice bowl. Not bad, but still I kept thinking that somewhere out there, there had to be something more. Something with more buttons. Something that was smart enough to outwit whatever mistakes I made.
Behold the Panasonic Rice Cooker/Warmer with Advanced Fuzzy Logic Technology. That soft little cry you hear is me achieving culinary nerdvana. You really have to try good and hard to screw up rice once you’ve plunked down the ker-ching for this baby. I know. I’ve tried. It sneered at me and turned out a good pot of rice anyway. This is its kung fu, and it is strong.
If you love the convenience of a slow cooker, a fuzzy logic rice cooker would look great with it on the counter. Like a slow cooker, you can program a future cooking time, and the rice will stay warm for up to 24 hours. (Warning: Believe the manual when it tells you to fluff the rice 30 minutes after the alarm goes off. Nasty rice is nasty.) I’ve noticed that when you take advantage of the cooking timer, the rice is even fluffier and stickier, which is my kind of rice.
I love you, fuzzy logic rice cooker. Don’t ever leave me.
