Any recommendations on a automatic electric rick cooker for one or two
cups?

Which brand or model combines ease of use; long lasting; safe from
burns; results in a good cooked rice?

If a good cup of cooked rice is all you need, most of the brands do this
without problem. Ease of use? You put in rice and water, plug in rice
cooker, press the button. How difficult is that?


I use an old hand-me-down Panasonic Rice-o-mat rice cooker.

I still have the Tatung rice cooker I brought with me (the kind that
needs water inside and outside.) It's built like a tank.

It doesn't have any digital read out. Put in the rice and
water and press the button and the rice is cooked perfectly
every time. However, inorder to prevent the cooked rice
from drying out in the rice cooker I do unplug the cooker after
the rice is cooked. If I want to reheat the rice it goes
into the Microwave otherwise the leftover goes into the
refridgerator. Digital rice cooker are better at keeping
cooked rice warm and moist for a longer period of time.
So if you are cooking for a group of people who are eating
at various of times and you want to maintain cooked rice
warm and moist for a couple of hours then one might want
to consider one of those hi-tech digital "fuzzy" rice
cooker.
