I was thinking about getting a rice cooker. Do you have any recommendations?
If I may assume you're Deutsch? Just you, based on a couple or ich_iel comments. Well it's all I got to go on.
I got a rice cooker a few years ago. Awesome. Never really ate rice before. And it can steam or make a soup and all kinds.
Anyway when I started looking everyone was hyping Zojirushi, and definitely worth their price I gather. But the price tag was like twice what I had thought even in the smaller lower-end models (which are still amazing as they're Zojirushi, just their lower end.)
Soo.. My sister had bought an OBH rice cooker a bit before, said it was good. I saw it on sale I think and grabbed it.
And idd if youre living in Germany then you can buy one from

No relation. Am no shill.
What are you looking for in a rice maker? The Zojirushi ones tend to bet the best reviews but are also expensive. Personally I’ve been quite satisfied with a $20 Aromatic rice cooker, it’s very basic, aphas no options and I’m sure the results aren’t as good, but it works. Consistently and conveniently.
Most of my life I rarely had rice because making it is tedious and it’s easy to lose track, but even the cheapest rice maker is a huge improvement for its convenience and consistently. Now I have rice all the time.
That being said, after like five years the non-stick coating is no longer as non-stick and I’ve been trying to reduce the teflon in my diet, so I’ll be looking for a replacement with stainless pot
I have a Zojirushi NS-ZCC10 that gets used 3-5 times a week since I got it 12 years ago. It's an amazing kitchen tool and the rice comes out fantastic every time. Sometimes I'll set it up to make steel cut oats so they are ready for me when I wake up in the morning.
We have a Zojirushi NP-HCC18, it's a beast, you likely don't need anything this crazy. Every Zojirushi that I've used has been great. ( the mildly smart ones, with buttons/menu options)
