      I don’t get it. I make perfect rice every time in a cheap pot from Walmart. It’s so easy.

      My trick is simmering the rice the normal way on low heat for 15 minutes (after bringing it to a boil, of course) and then taking it off the heat and wrapping the pot in a towel for… ever. Seriously. It only needs 5 more minutes of steaming, but I can leave it sitting there for 20-25 minutes and still have perfect, hot rice when the rest of my food is done. Not a single grain will be stuck to the pan. I use an ordinary both towel.

      Meanwhile, I used to have a rice cooker and the rice stuck to the bottom every time. It was cheap, but still. It failed at it’s one job.

        We’ve been lucky with our cheap rice cooker.

        But I seriously have to be having an incredibly lucky astrology day to cook rice in a pot — like perfect biorhythms and after having rubbed the head of a leprechaun.
