AIBU to be a bit in love with my new rice cooker?

Probably very boring, I know. Dh is certainly bored by me going on about it Grin. I made delicious chicken adobo with rice and steamed green beans in it tonight, all in the machine at the same time. Chuck stuff in, press button. Magic. I was worried it might be a gadget that would get used twice and then gather dust in the cupboard, but definitely not!

Definitely not AIBU. What make and model do you have? I really want one but I don't know if I can justify the expense or the space it would take.

I’m not OP but I have just a little cheap Cookworks one from Argos, was only around £20 in the sale and I love it! It’s SO much better than doing rice in a pot and I do quinoa in it as well. It’s honestly brilliant! No faff, so quick to clean etc

Ooh yes I recently bought the Russell Hobbs one and I use it at least twice a week! Perfect rice every time and no stuck on bits or burnt pans.

I am however not quite sure how to navigate getting the metal bowl out to serve, have been using oven gloves but it feels pretty clumsy.

Definitely not, op!

I've got my eye on the ninja 11 in 1

I think about it often 😅😩

I love my rice cooker but I only cook plain rice in it. What am I missing out on?!

Sticky coconut rice in the rice cooker! I hear you. I love my rice cooker too. I persuaded my DH we needed a mini one for holidays! DC has one in his house-share. We are converts!!

I LOVE my rice cooker! I’m not a kitchen gadget type and I remember thinking ffs, it’s just going to be a glorified pot! Then I got one in Argos for £20 and it’s one of my most favourite things!
