My own mother still cooks rice on the stove with a pot and lid. I have
offered to buy her a good rice-cooker many times, but she's been making
rice this way for most of her life, and doesn't seem to want to make the
switch-over. It makes me nervous when I visit her and see the pot
boiling viciously, but it always seems to turn out perfectly.
