- Best rice cooker for a college student?
I'm a college student living in a fairly small dorm, and I'm looking for a small rice cooker mainly for Japanese short-grain rice. What would be the best cooker available for my situation? Thanks for any replies!

A I don't think rice cookers vary all that much, so you'd want to decide by size mostly. Do keep in mind though that there are loads of other things that can be cooked in rice cookers besides rice or even rice-plus-other-things, and having a rice cooker can be great for dorm residents that aren't allow "open" heat appliances. Check some of these out, for example: http://www.google.com/search?q=rice+cooker+recipes http://www.bing.com/images/search?q=rice+cooker+recipes If you decide to go the route of making all kinds of things in your rice cooker, you might want to go for a slightly larger one (most are inexpensive), or one that has an automatic "keep warm" mode, or one that has a sturdier and easier to clean bowl, or that has a steamer basket, etc, though.
