I suggest you make an exception for a rice cooker. It's been one of our best purchases and it can do other things besides cook rice too
I honestly don't understand rice cookers. Cooking rice in a pot is so fast and easy, plus it's basically the same process. What advantage does a rice cooker give you?
Look, I know that cooking rice isn't rocket surgery, but cooking it in a pot still requires you to babysit it to an extent, otherwise you end up with burnt rice. A rice cooker is the same process, except you can literally fire and forget it and come back when you've cooked other stuff for your meal and you'll have perfectly done, warm rice waiting for you. As a person with ADHD, anything that reduces the mental load and reduces the demands on exact timing is good for the success of my endeavors. Plus you can cut up some veggies and slam them in the steamer on top for more bang for the buck (I don't know if all cookers have those, but ours does and it's great). You can set all that up, make some beans on a pan, add seasoning and you have a quick, healthy, filling meal with very little demand on executive function while making it. Idk I just like having it a lot ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
absolutely all of this
Its about the consistency of the result, and the leave and forget factor while you cook the rest of the meal. I eat rice like at least once a day, so it's really paying off for me at least.
So, not a one kind specific kitchen tool...
Yes, but one might assume it is, based on what it's called.
Surely an egg timer can time more than just eggs?
Even then though...rice. People all around the world eat rice every day
The ones with the steamer tray are a game changer. Set and forget 40min dinners are magical
