Living in an area of almost an Asian majority, you see lots of rice cookers
for sale in the stores. I do not eat that much rice, and do not want to
waste more counter space. And I have no problem cooking rice in a pan.

Hey....stay on track. Respond to my brutal rice accusations, or be in
contempt of court. Saving stovetop space is a valid point, but cooking
rice
properly? Now you're pushing it, Harry. :-)

You've never overcooked rice and had it turn out dry or even burned
while watching other pots on the stove? I have, but no more. I don't use
Minute Rice.

Most Chinese restaurants and most Japanese restaurants use rice cookers.
They are good for more than just ordinary rice. Do you make homemade
sushi? I do. With a rice cooker, you can make "sticky rice" properly so
you can form it into the shapes you want for your sushi.

I heard Fritz was divorced because, among other things, he burned
cooking bag rice.

Sticky rice comes out fine in a pot with a lid.
