INTRODUCTION Due to a bit of Christmas net shopping, I had a £10 gift voucher from Argos burning a hole in my pocket and needing to be used by February. As this is pretty soon, I racked my brains for something I needed, and I came up with this, as I always seem to run out of pots big enough for cooking fair amounts of rice, and my mum keeps on raving about how good rice cookers are.

Without my rice cooker I wouldn't eat rice at home. It's as simple as that. I suck at cooking rice and I hear a lot of other people do too - when I used to try my hardest to make it at university it was always too sticky, too wet, too dry - I had to resort to boil in the bag. Then, in my final year, I was staying with a friend who had a rice cooker. Put in rice, put in water, flick a switch and 20 mins later - perfect rice. I was an instant convert and, as soon as I had the money I bought myself one from Argos (around £30 in those days). And it was one of the best things I've ever bought. Cooking rice is really that simple. A measuring cup ...
