Rice cooker recommendations
I'm currently using an el-cheapo ($7.99 at target when I got it!)
Sunbeam rice cooker. Unfortunately, it burns the rice if I don't watch it - so, I'm looking to upgrade. Does anyone have any recommendations? It'd be for serving 3-4 people typically. Thanks! |

I'd hope for under $50 USD, but if there is some neato feature or neccesary function I can get for $100, then that's ok? So, I guess under $100 USD maximum? Is that realistic? |

I also had one of those cheap rice cookers and it always burned the
rice. I bought this one on ebay and it makes perfect rice as far as I know. I am not Asian and don't eat much rice, wish I could prepare some Asian food that is near as good as that found in Asian restaurants. Any suggestions on something easy and good for a beginner. I don't have a wok but do have a great rice cooker and cast iron skillets. I do have an electric range which I am told will not properly heat a wok.

I've got a nice National Brand one that does up to 5 cooks uncooked/10 cups cooked and also does steamer duty, with an auto shut-off feature. It ran me about $65CDN or thereabouts a few years ago, if I recall correctly...
