It's possible but the cheapest rice cooker is going to be more consistent than a seasoned pro. I can cook rice fairly well without a cooker but 1 out of 10 times it's awful.

I'm seriously baffled by the amount of people in this thread having issues with something as simple as boiling plain rice. What the hell, its not fucking rocket science. Do you have trouble boiling pasta too!?

Bad news, but also I am relieved to hear that Ricefail is an apparently common experience.

That's why you learn to make fried rice. Just use day old badly cooked rice.
