DDD, just spring for the Zojirushi. $150 ish and none of the hassle. Between oatmeal and rice, it's by far our most used appliance.At least the Big Ten went after a big-time addition in Nebraska; the Pac-10 wanted a game so badly, it added Utah

3D, I've found that Tamanishiki best mimics Japanese-grown rice of all the U.S. grown short-grain rice out there. Beats the crap out of Calrose and Nishiki, which are horrid. Straight Koshihikari is still better I suppose, but the difference is not that significant to me. The best rice is Akita Komachi IMO. Little pearls of yummy.
I rinse the rice 2-3, sometimes 4 times and I don't soak it. I soaked a couple of times at someone's suggestion but I didn't see a difference.
A friend once told me rice cooked with a gas rice cooker is much better than electric. Goes to prove there are some real rice snobs out there.Give 'em Hell, Cougars!!!
For all this His anger is not turned away, but His hand is stretched out still.
Not long ago an obituary appeared in the Salt Lake Tribune that said the recently departed had "died doing what he enjoyed most—watching BYU lose."

Wanted to return and report on the Tamanishiki rice I recently purchased. It has been a hit. I have had a tough time really noting a big difference between tamanishiki and koshihikari, with the exception that the koshihikari may be a tad "sweeter" if that makes sense. But overall I might stick with Tamanishiki. We have already ripped through half a bag (we eat a lot of rice) and I'm making more tonight....golden curry, yum. My wife said she might like the koshihikari more. Either way they both seem to be really good rice.
One thing I love about the Tamanishiki....the smell of the uncooked rice in the bag. Has a really great scent to it. I kept smelling the bag and my wife told me to knock it off.
I would be interested in trying the Akita komachi rice. Is it sold in the US?Fitter. Happier. More Productive.

My wife just bought a Fagor 3-in-1 rice cooker/pressure cooker/crock pot, and we cooked rice in it for the first time - very easy, no mess, and light fluffy rice.
My oldest loves rice and often cooks it for himself as a snack, but he's always done it in a small pot on the stove top and always ends up boiling the water over. This new rice cooker is going to be great.
EDIT: What am I saying - I may get the dog house, but I should still give myself credit. My wife didn't buy the rice cooker. I bought it for her as a Valentines gift."It's devastating, because we lost to a team that's not even in the Pac-12. To lose to Utah State is horrible." - John White IV

Fellow rice snobs, don't limit your premium rice consumption to white koshikari. We typically go with basic brown short grain but recently decided to try some premium brown short grain. It is fabulous.

Went to First Oriental Market to buy more rice. Have been down with Tamanishiki for the last few purchases but this time I went with koshihikari. I probably won't be able to tell the difference but figured I would give it a try anyway. We really enjoy the tamanishiki.
I cant find anyone around here that sells akita komachi. Maybe an asian speciality store in SLC?Fitter. Happier. More Productive.

My cheapo rice cooker finally bit the dust after about 30 years of service. What's the current recommendation if I only anticipate cooking rice (not really considering rolled oats, etc.)? I know some of you like your Zojirushi, but is it really worth the money?
