Rice is an easy meal to prepare, but making it perfect every time isn't so easy.
When one user shared their story of finding a rice cooker at a garage sale for an amazingly low price, people went wild.
The Reddit user shared a post about the rice cooker they found for $5 on the r/ThriftStoreHauls subreddit.
The image shows a slightly scratched Zojirushi rice cooker with a $5 sticker on it, but she said:[It] Cooked to perfection.”
Rice cookers are really convenient for home cooks. They automatically turn off when the rice is done, so you can always have perfect rice. You can cook while you do other household chores, saving you time. You can also prepare a single meal by adding other ingredients. And cleanup is super easy.
Not only do rice cookers save you time, they also save you money. This kitchen tool is more efficient than cooking rice in a pot, so you not only save money on miscellaneous expenses, but you also help the environment by reducing the amount of items you send to the landfill.
Rice cookers are not only good for the environment because they save energy. They also save water and minimize food waste. Saving water and reducing food waste is essential because in the United States, people waste about 30 gallons of water every day and 33% of food annually. By simply purchasing a rice cooker, you can reduce waste.
Other ways to reduce water waste include using dishwashers and purchasing eco-friendly washing machines.
Other Reddit users have also loved the rice cooker and shared their own experiences.
One user commented, “I own that model too….it has never let me down. Cooks perfect rice every time.”
Another user commented, “I just finished cooking rice in this exact model. I cook 1-2 cups a day. So glad I bought it!”
