I first used a rice cooker in my 3rd year of College
when I first moved into an apartment. My family (Indian)
had never used a rice cooker before that even though
we ate rice every day. I find the rice cooker to be a
great convenience, but I would not rank it as an essential.
One can make rice with a saucepan and a hot-plate quite
easily, it just requires more "user input". In addition,
a saucepan and hot-plate are more flexible - one can
make a lot more than just rice. (I have heard rumors of
people who have used their rice cookers to cook things
besides rice, but I don't know how. Any input?)
Of course, if you already have a stove or a hot plate
available AND you have the money to buy a rice cooker,
go for it! You won't regret the purchase of a rice
cooker.
