Just Hungry

My mom taught me how to cook rice on the stove, even measuring the level of water by the digit in your finger so it comes out perfect everytime, fluff it once with a fork or spoon and let it cook.
That’s really only at times there’s no rice cooker around. We bought a rice cooker for family in the Philippines once but I’m not sure it caught on.
We’ve used the same Japanese one since I can remember, but we give it a break once in a while and use the Aroma brand endorsed by Martin Yan. It, out of all the American brands we’ve tried performs the same as our Japanese brand. It’s a lot cheaper too, but I’d still like a Zojirushi someday.
Lastly, I can not get over the fact that Alton Brown refuses to get a rice cooker because he believes it to be a “unitasker”, well I think the fact that he fails to think up other uses for it is the real problem. :P
