I have discovered the joy of cooking rice in a rice cooker.  For more years then I like to remember, I’ve been cooking rice either on top of the stove or in a rice cooker made for the micro wave.

This little gem was a gift to me from my daughter-in-law.  I used it maybe once or twice and it was put away.  Recently, I decided to pull it out of storage and use it again. I have not looked back.  Now I try to find a reason to use it more often.  Needless to say we are eating quite a bit of rice.
