~~Rice cookers.~~

~~You can get really simple ones that just work and due to little components they will last a while. IMO they're really worth it if you cook rice often or can't for the love of god not mess it up while cooking. They're really cheap as well.~~

The AK-47 is a specific product from the class of assault rifles, whereas β€œrice cooker” product class, not a specific product of a class.

Ah right, the post confused me a bit.

I recently bought a zojirushi rice cooker because of their reputation for making perfect rice and lasting decades. So it's the AK of rice cookers. Or more like the AR because it was $200.

My man... 200 for a rice cooker, does it at least give you a reach around?

It even plays a happy little tune while it does it.
