Rice cookers/steamers?

No, I haven't seen the video, I'm surprised as it is called Pressure King.

I have a Jml go chef, bit on the large size though for cooking rice and is likely to burn/stick due to the way the heating element is designed, great as a slow cooker or as a large frying pan.
I also have a cosori 2 litre electric pressure/multi cooker from amazon, fantastic little thing and I went for it with the pot being stainless steel over the pressure king pro stuff. Not tried it as a rice cooker yet though

i do not mean to be argumentative , but why use a rice cooker ? it is not too difficult to cook rice . sorry i really do not understand
Great for recipes that call for sticky rice, like Chinese or Thai.We have a microwave rice cooker that gets used several times a week. We put in the desired amount of rice, give it a quick wash, then add twice the volume of cold water (300ml to 150g of rice) and put it on for 13 minutes. When it goes ping the rice is always perfect. The pot is easy to clean too.
The rice steamers may seem like a gimmick but pretty much every household in SE Asia has one.

That's because these guys eat rice every day. I eat toast nearly every day so I have a toaster that saves me making it under the grill.I might cook it once a week, so I'm happy with boiling it in a pan until the water's gone then put a lid on for 10 mins. Usually a trouble free way of doing it. Then I don't need to spen £200 (or £50 even) on something that sits in a cupboard for most of its life. Then again, some people love to have kitchen gadgets...

Perhaps some might oddly see it as an indulgence, but I don't think I'd be without one.

I ended up buying the Zojirushi NS-TSQ10 micom fuzzy logic rice cooker from yumasia.co.uk and it makes lovely rice everytime.

I have the exact same one and it's genuinely the best thing I've purchased, kitchen-wise, in years. Had it over 18 months now, hundreds of cups of rice - including 2 tonight (Japanese nishiki rice, cooked and cooled ready for fried rice tomorrow).https://www.yumasia.co.uk/5-cup-capacity/zojirushi...
Worth every penny

I bought one of these about 6 weeks ago and started a thread on here, about to update it advising against this product. How about https://www.jmldirect.com/kitchen/cooking-applianc...
Yes it cooks rice very nicely and can make a beef stew in 40 mins or so but it’s a pig to clean, the steam drips down near where it plugs in and everything in it now smells of a lamb curry we made in it. Took back and got a refund last week.
I know it's over budget at £110 but has anyone bought an instant pot?

my only reason for asking is it seems super popular all over the place, and is one of the most gifted/requested things on peoples wishlists. For me personally I'd find it useful for not just rice..but lentils (dhal) too. i suppose cooking under pressure would also reduce the cooking time of any stews or curries too.

I have - mainly use it for slow cooking. It does do good rice IF you can work out the right quantities - I wasted a lot of rice doing so - found a tip on here for how to get the water balance right. It does cook rice well, however it ties up the device I'd potentially eb using for the main dish to go with the rice and it can't reheat the rice (also keeping the rice warm is a bit mixed). The rice I've cooked in it has been no better than using my microwave rice cooker, but more space and less flexible so I stopped again. Don't regret buying the one-pot though (the cheaper non yoghurt version).

There is an instant pot thread on here. Don't pay that much for one though, they were £80 on Black Friday https://www.amazon.co.uk/Instant-Pot-Electric-Pres...

for some closure i ended up buying this 2.2litre one from argos.

does the job.little larger than many on the market that seem to be 1.5 to 1.8 litres in size. this is only the first time using it, cant fault it so far, time will tell. Feels very nice to have a rice cooker again. (even though i know how to make rice anyway).

I agree. I use this one https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B06XDLH1S4/ref...
I also have a ceramic one as I was trying to use less plastic in the kitchen.
