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.
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.

We’ve been lucky with our cheap rice cooker.
