I've been looking into rice cooker's myself recently. There's quite the range in gadgetry, from simple "on/off" cookers to "fuzzy logic" cookers to cookers with induction heating. It sounds like you know a bit about that, but here's a more thorough description of rice cooker types from Gourmet Sleuth.
Even if all you want from your rice cooker is rice, then a mid-range one still seems like the best option to me. ; By 'mid-range' I mean one that has a "keep warm" feature in addition to "on/off" technology. ; Something in the $50 range.
; As for brands, Panasonic has been around a long time. I like this one from Aroma. I like that the product manual is available online, and there is additional info about recipes and rice cookers on their site as well.As for top of the line, high tech functionality goes, Japanese company Zojirushi has a model for about $200.
I think it's only available through Amazon in the US though. All three companies (Aroma, Panasonic and Zojirushi) have been around awhile and seem to be popular brands for rice cookers. I think it's mostly a matter of deciding what you want your rice cooker to do for you, and choosing from there.
And thanks for asking this question. Answering it has helped me make up my own mind!
I suggest the Panasonic 3.3 cup Rice Cooker. It features a non stick interior and a keep warm feature like any Panasonic rice cooker. It also has a glass lid for easy sight of the rice when cooking it.
You can choose from other models of Panasonic rice cookers with different features and different cooking capacity. ericecooker.net.
The best rice cooker for a rice addict is (without quotes):.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
