I bought cast iron pan which I think is the best ever purchase I made.

An opposing viewpoint here, from a couple of rice snobs -- I've spent 30+ years (my entire life) with a rice cooker so I've never questioned not owning one.

Ours broke (the gasket did, after 10 years), and the company that made it no longer exists (Sanyo), so we tried just cooking rice on the stovetop for a year before we bought a new one. It's now been 2 years without a rice cooker, and we don't plan on buying one of those fancy Korean ones I've been eyeing.

We found the rice tastes better (a bit of burning at the bottom adds flavour), and we don't need another appliance taking up space. The only thing I miss is the keep warm functionality, but now we just freeze the leftover rice and microwave it (or make fried rice with it).

And now we have more counter and cupboard space to buy other gadgets, as we're cooking enthusiasts.

For large amounts of rice we luckily have a pressure cooker.

Thanks. I'll definitely try this.
