THE JOY OF RICE COOKERS. Never bought one myself. Should I?

UPDATE: About a gazillion readers respond with an emphatic “yes!” Okay. Just gotta figure out where to come up with the cabinet and counter space for my already gadget-heavy kitchen . . . .

ANOTHER UPDATE: Bill Quick writes that I should use this recipe instead. “I’ve known and used this technique for years. As for cookers: Almost none of them work as advertised, all are bitches to clean, and unless you are feeding an Asian family of six or so, you don’t need that much rice cooking capability.”
