does anyone (here) cook using a rice cooker? I think I want to get one and a rice cooker cookbook for my dad for xmas.

I am wondering if I should get a six cup or an eight cup unit. is there such a thing as too big?

I think there's one on Woot today. -- nm - JaxSean Nov 28, 07:20
Did you see this one? Is that what made you ask the question? -- (link) - Jim Nov 28, 07:20

I bought an Aroma 6-cup one, for my brother, a few months back: Works great, less than $30, and is small enough to not clog up valuable counter space -- nm - Flavorize Nov 28, 06:52 7
- that is our brand and we use it once every two weeks - seems fine. One thing I did learn - rice type makes all the difference - Epiphany Nov 28, 06:54 6
  - it seems the fuzzy logic kind is required for non-basic rice cooking? does anyone here *cook* in theirs? patryk does; he has a normal one, though. - amanda Nov 28, 07:05
  - and there are also grades of white rice. If you have an asian market anywere close, go there for your rice - decline Nov 28, 07:02 1
    - interesting - we got a huge Asian mart near by - I will check it out - we seem to go through it quickly -- nm - Epiphany Nov 28, 07:08
  - do you ever do coconut rice? basmati cooked in coconut milk instead of water. it's fantastic with spicy food. -- nm - Andie Nov 28, 06:58 2
    - oh my! going to try this -right now its a mixture of water and chicken broth. I can see some Thai type dishes in our future - Epiphany Nov 28, 07:07 1

I use one all the time. get a Zojirushi -- (link) - decline Nov 28, 06:26 4
- I understand they're the best but they're also the most costly. I need a training wheels rice cooker, not a Bugatti rice cooker. But thanks. -- nm - Amanda Nov 28, 06:29 3
  - but, but, but... it sings twinkle twinkle little star! -- nm - decline Nov 28, 06:36 2
    - more small appliances should sing. -- nm - Andie Nov 28, 06:42
    - (oh, and six cups is probably fine. I've never made more than 3 at a time) -- nm - decline Nov 28, 06:37
