> [@Quasimodal](#): > > Thanks for all the recommendations. I found someone selling a never used Aroma rice cooker second hand for $30. It has the fuzzy logic and it does 20(!) cups of rice. If I feel the urge maybe one day I will go for a Zojirushi, but for now I think this will suffice. It steams veggies too! Awesome! Indeed, you can use it to steam vegetables. Honestly, I think you are making the right move. For the vast majority of recipes that us a rice cooker, I think it will do a great job. I must use the thing 4-5 times a week and it is totally reliable. ---

The current best selling rice cooker brand in South Korea is Cuckoo. My mom swears by it. They should be widely available over here, too. Apparently (and I have nothing to back this up other than people’s say-so), Korean cookers operate at a slightly different pressure than Japanese cookers and will produce rice of a slightly different consistency.
