A Rice Computer, I would call it.

Fancy dancy, need a Good manual for this thing. In Japan, Rice is king of the table and the staple food, hence these.

@design_RG I saw a japenese rice cooker that was like 1000$ and had a touch screen... totally overkill and I want it.

@freemo I really got intrigued by that cake, man. On a rice cooker, who would have thought. Mine is simpler and a reasonable price, but does have a couple of different programs (white rice, or whole grain).

These are neat and never burn the rice like can happen on a stove top.

@design_RG I actually use my pressure cooker for rice. I never use quick rice but with the pressure cooker it cooks as fast as quick rice would, seems win win to me. The quality seems as good as one might expect. Pressure cookers use pressure and lower temperature so less risk of burning too.

I wish i had the chance to test a rice cooker side by side with a pressure cooker to see if I could tell a difference. but so far I never noticed.

@freemo I do have and use a pressure cooker too, for beans, chick peas, lentils and such it's great. Never tried it for rice, since I have the rice cooker itself and it works well.

Pressure cooker works well for meat and potatoes stew, softening cheaper meat cuts to perfection in no time.

@design_RG im picky about when and how I use my slow/pressure cooker.

For stew for example I actually use the slower cooker mode rather than the pressure cooking mode. Takes much longer though. With that said pressure cooking the stew turns out pretty damn good too in its own right.

@freemo There are some new and fancy cookers, designed here in Canada that can do that. both modes and quite popular with their owners. Don't have one myself, hear they are good.

Remembered -- InstaPot is the name.instantpot.com/

@design_RG yes mine has both in the same device. It isnt an instapot but functionally the same.
