    One I didn’t see mentioned yet: a rice cooker.

    Put in rice, add water, push start button, and you get perfect rice every time. I’m usually against single-purpose kitchen tools but a rice cooker is soo worth it.

      Living in Japan, this almost didn’t register to me. I have literally never met anybody that didn’t have one. When you move out, you use your family’s old one until you can buy a newer one.

      Everyone should have one, absolutely.

        When I did a homestay in Japan, my host dad was shocked my family didn’t have one. I do now though!

      We sold our rice cooker on eBay after finding out the microwave rice cooker addon for 10€ is just as good, if not faster.

      I know this will be a popular response, but I don’t get it.

      I just use a pot and the rice is always perfect? Not hard at all? Am I just good?

        I used to do that for years, but rice cookers really do some magic to get perfectly fluffy rice. I thought my technique was good, until I tried rice from a rice cooker.

      It’s really not that hard to cook rice in a pan. I already get perfect rice every time. A rice cooker seems a waste of money.
