I know several of you use them - any suggestions? My Farberware bit the dust yesterday. I never much liked it. It was nonstick inside, which was good, but it burned the bottom of everything.
Bonus points if the cooking container and lid are dishwasher-safe. Also it's just DH and me, not a whole crowd, so I figure smaller is better.
I use a $15 one from Target that's sufficient for me. It makes five cups. I pretty much only use it for jasmine rice (white or brown) and it does a fine job. My friend has this one and it's really amazing, but also a lot more $:
They got it for less than $100 at the local Asian market. Unbelievably enough, they beat amazon prices on all the rice cookers, so if you have one near you it might be worth a shot.

I used to have a Panasonic model that I loved, but it was really old and bit the dust. My mom got it at an Asian market - if you can get to one, you should. Their prices are usually the best.
My mom got mines from the asian store too, and i use it everyday. It cooks rice really well and PERFECTLY. She got this other brand that was a bit cheaper, and it made the rice all mushy. I'm really picky about my rice's consistancy.
It's about $100 for a 3-cup cooker, so definitely on the $$ side for something so small. Oh yeah, it's by Tiger.
