Scientastic posted:Rice cooker is a waste of money. Cook rice in a saucepan. gently caress that. If you eat rice even remotely regularly, it makes a huge difference being able to press a button and forget it, then not have to worry about the rice as you're doing final preparations and serving the meal. It's like having an extra person there helping you cook.

Everyone hates using cooking thermometers until they try a Thermapen, then it just clicks.

Good thing the OP is budgeting $1000 on kitchen tools rather than the bare minimum necessary to prepare food then. At some point convenience and features beyond the most basic utility become deciding factors in purchases. Nobody is telling him to buy a rice cooker instead of a knife and cutting board. You can get a rice cooker for $20 or opt for something fancier if the convenience justifies the price in the budget.

How dare anyone spend more than the bare minimum or buy a kitchen item used in hundreds of millions of households for extreme convenience!
