Wait, now we don't need a rice cooker, or a stove?

I can throw rice and water into my rice cooker, go grocery shopping, come back 90 minutes later, and have perfect rice nice and hot, waiting for me.

I don't see the point of all the minimalism. It's a tool, an almost perfectly refined one. I can afford it, it has lasted 15 years and running, is energy efficient, and small enough.

Good on you if you want to dedicate an inordinate amount of your life energy to making rice, I guess?
