Cooking rice perfectly can take a bit of practice, but a rice cooker takes much of the guesswork out of the process. The best models make it easy to get consistently fluffy rice while saving you time in the kitchen.
Capacity is key when choosing a rice cooker. Smaller households may prefer a compact model under 1l, while larger families and batch cooks should look for something closer to 2l. Many also offer settings for brown rice, quinoa, porridge and grains, plus steaming and slow cooking, making them useful beyond rice alone.
