If you like good rice and cook it frequently, then don't buy a USA rice cooker. You want Asian. Preferably

a Japanese Zojirushi or a Korean Cuckoo.

Calrose is the baseline. Add some premium sushi rice with it (2:1 ratio) and prepare for deliciousness to overwhelm.

The barley effect happens when you dump in ice cold water right at the end of the first cooking cycle with brown rice

We have an Instapot. Works great, and for tons of other stuff, too.

Don't bother with gourmet rice. Uncle Ben's will do.

Tricky
