I'm stingy with 10s. Really stingy.

I was going to throw out an eight or a nine for this bad boy, because it doesn't have tons of bells and whistles.

But then I thought about it -- and for what this rice cooker is supposed to do, it's flawless. I have zero complaints, and I occasionally consider hugging it.

We received this rice cooker as an off-the-registry wedding present from my cousin and his wife, and I don't know how I ever lived without it.

You put in the rice (brown or white), put in the water, flip it to "rice cooking" and it automatically switches to the "warm" setting when it's done, so your rice is toasty whenever you need it.

What really pushes it over the edge to a 10? I discovered that it makes my beloved superfood quinoa *just* as easily (two parts water to one part quinoa, turn it on and you're done).

I've done my research, and Tiger is where it's at when it comes to rice cookers. Worth every penny.

I'm going to go make two thousand of something.
