OK this time rice cookers.
Anyone got any thoughts about whether these are good investments and would actually save me energy (and standing/waiting around and all those other fun ME things we are all bartering with re: meals) ...
and whether there are recommendations on the type (as answering that question might have a lot of 'ifs')
I thought of a microwave one, but often I'm microwaving something alongside it - so you get to the point where you think having 2 microwaves might be the solution to the waiting around issue (!)
I don't want anything that is going to involve me having to wipe a machine (one reason the air fryer puts me off, and deffo with rice I know that's bad news)
would ideally like to be able to just bung things in dishwasher after. However, if there are other huge upsides (I didn't realise until researching that the thing with good rice cookers is that you cook the rice well-ahead as they have the keep-warm function) maybe rinsing a pot in the sink, as long as it really is so non-stick it is just that I could do.
Any details people have much-welcome such as just how far ahead you can actually bung the rice on in some of these machines, and if the bowl makes the 'rinsing before' less/more of a faff than the rinsing after - it all adds up!
