just get an air fryer

As much as you want just find one in your price range you can literally go to a goodwill and buy one for 5-10 dollars

Japanese cooking appliance? I’ll withdraw my 401k to get my hands on this.

>>22271571
new about 300 dolla but i wouldn't touch a second hand rice cooker.
if you buy it second hand, replace the actual rice bowl with a new one, don't use someone elses rice cooker rice bowl.

Could you actually be any more of a sissy? Wow.

>>22271613
You're soft as baby shit. Wash it and it's fine.

Once I accidentally put it away with rice still in it. Eventually I noticed the smell. I cleaned it out as best I could but the stank permeated the housing so I sold it and bought a new one. I would never buy a used rice cooker.

You need to understand it's avery common sexual fetish to trick people into eating your cum or poop. People cum in rice cookers before selling them. People poop on the grills at public parks. It might be only 1% that engage with this fetish, but think of what percent are selling used rice cookers. Order requires almost full compliance. Chaos requires very little.

I'm actually gonna crap down your chimney this Christmas. Get ready to be stinky, little man.

I really don't get it. Cooking rice on the stove isn't hard.

goodwill has a policy of taking all known expensive shit like stand mixers and rice cookers and putting it on sale on ebay for 2 to 300 dollars. they try very hard not to let anyone get a good deal anymore. if your ever see a zojirushi or kitchenaid or le creuset on the shelf it means the goodwill employee fucked up and didn't weasel it onto ebay like they were instructed.

goodwill has in general become a very greedy company and I will never donate to them again. I saw a story yesterday about how they called the cops on a homeless guy for stealing a coat as the weather gets cold. fuck goodwill.

>>22271797
Stealing is wrong though.

>>22271797
If he were actually cold he would have stolen a higher vlaue item, hocked it, and bought a nicer coat.

Zojirushi is a good brand and it consistently makes very yummy rice. I love mine and I use it darn nearly every day. Now that I think about it, it's the one kitchen appliance that I use the most

It's not, but a rice cooker takes out all the thinking involved, including timing it so that it starts cooking after your rice finishes soaking. After it's done, too, it will keep your rice warm for you. So if you're someone like me who eats rice for breakfast and lunch, sometimes even dinner, you have fresh, warm rice without any of the hassle. There's a reason why almost every household in Japan has one

taking donated items and pricing them for 400 dollars on ebay is stealing

>>22271828
I used to work for them (ironically, e-commerce) and they view their operations just like a retail business with projected profits.
All well and fine, typical even, but the problem is that all donated items they receive are random and it's hard to calculate predictable sales outcome from what they were selling based on this concept. The people they put in charge in these regional corporations fail to understand this for some reason.
It makes more sense for a company like Walmart or Target to have these prospects because they are getting consistent inventory shipped to them vs. a thrift store relying on second-hand goods.
I think the only thing they're good for is helping people get easily-accessible jobs, but the way they go about business makes me queasy and I will never shop at a GW store or endorse them.

>>22271571
they are worthless because a sauce pan is the correct tool for cooking rice.

>>22271911
explain how, anon?
can't wait to read this loop-de-loop of gymnasty.

I paid $250 for mine back during COVID.

prooe donate to goodwill on the premise that it will be sold to less fortunate people at a discount

>>22272202
People donate to goodwill and such organizations in the hope that those items go to those in need... not on ebay for the profit of some company. Unless it is disclosed that the donations are to be used for profit clearly, using them as not intended could be construed as theft. The argument is there at least. Goodwill is clear about being for profit as far as I know though.

>>22272226
...You think it's theft because Good Will didn't disclose that they sell the things donated to them?

>>22272338
selling things on the open market for profit is not the same as distributing donated items with a price as an overhead cost offset. Once made aware of their practices, I would chose to not donate to Goodwill and instead seek out a nonprofit for my donations. As I said... it probably is not classified as theft, but an argument can be made it is shady business.

This is a good argument, thanks

Here's the quick guide to these things since I own all the methods:
1. Cheap 1 button heaters are never worth it. Get a crock pot, more bang for your buck because 3 heat settings, not 1. You can do rice in a crock pot, it works, it's fluffy, it just takes 2 hours. Bonus: the crock can be used on the stovetop and works like cast iron for heat retention. Crocks are like $12-20. Won't burn rice like cheap rice cookers.

2. If you have $60-80, get a decent fuzzy logic type cooker. If it's taking ~1 hour to make the white rice, that is typically right. These make a decent volume of rice and properly soak/steam the rice. Great for sushi rice and rice balls or musubi.

3. Fancy Jap $200 perfect rice maker. What these bring to the table is timers - you can add a cooking delay so you wake up to rice. You only need this as Jap salaryman who eats rice nonstop all day everyday. Matches perfectly with fish oven in Japanese house. Does porridge and other fancy rice cookery. (works like western bread machine essentially) I think lower cost option works same, but you sacrifice fancy options and delay cooking.

4. Authentic clay pot rice (donabe). You can get them reasonably priced, but authentic ones will be north of $300. Works just like a rice cooker (not the 1 button kind) for quality, cooks on the stove, works for soup and steaming on rice. Overall definitely not worth high cost, but reasonable cost ones are aesthetic and nice to have. I have a little personal one and it's cute. Has some stupid prep steps for 1st time use like cast iron, but not a bitch like cast iron.

If you are a westerner, just use a crock pot. You eat rice like once a month. It works, it's just slow. Instapot rice (pressure cooked rice) is too squishy, it's overcooked.
