Not a day goes by where I don’t cook and eat rice. I grew up thinking of it as central to every meal. I’m also a former professional chef who, for over seven years, ran a restaurant and food truck that served Hawaii’s local food – a cuisine that is rice-based. All told I have made tens of thousands of pounds of rice.
This means that I have purchased dozens of rice cookers of various sizes, both for home kitchens and commercial ones. I even have portable rice cookers for easy toting to outdoor cookouts.
