How many of you would bring a rice cooker to uni?

I am for sure as I NEED to eat rice during dinner.
Anyone else?

In case you don't know what a rice cooker is, heres a picture of it:

Do you mean a pan?
Not sure how big a rice cooker is, but it might be a bit of a pain space wise. Why not just boil rice using saucepan?
why cant you just buy ready to cook rice in a bag?
I'm definitely going to bring one!

Chinese people won't use pans to cook rice.

I think a lot of people have gotten so used to using rice cookers in asian families that cooking rice in a bag is strange :P

I'm Chinese so of course I am bringing a rice cooker. I also suck at cooking so I'd probably die without it anyway.

I just ordered a microwaveable rice cooker a few days ago. I felt as an Asian there was something missing from my life. I don't see anything wrong with using it at uni, just make sure it's not too big as that could become a bit of a hassle.

It's not the space that would be the issue. My halls didn't allow rice cookers for some weird health and safety reason. I still brought one anyway but used it maybe twice the whole year?

As an African, rice is something I eat everyday. I can't imagine a day without rice so I will be bringing the rice cooker with me :smile:

That's the only annoying thing :tongue: Some let you keep it in your room, some only let you have it in the kitchen and some just don't let you have one at all. I think one time, my sister could only have one that was made in england otherwise they confiscated it :lol:
My halls banned them but one of my friends brought one, it was a disaster haha. I don't know how but he set the rice on fire.

I bought one in Korea so I'll probably haul it to uni with me. But I can see myself using it, like, once or twice.
Why can't you just cook rice in a saucepan whats the difference?

I had no idea rice cookers were a fire hazard.. I'm worried about using mine now.
I'm probably going to take one, small one though. Good for steaming veg too :smile:

Its mostly due to short circuit because they didn't wipe the cooker dry before cooking.
