cooking rice has traditionally required constant attention to ensure the rice was cooked properly, and not burnt. electric rice cookers automate the process by mechanically or electronically controlling heat and timing, thus freeing up a heating element on the cooking range that had to be otherwise occupied for rice cooking. although the rice cooker does not necessarily speed up the cooking process, with an electric rice cooker the cook's involvement in cooking rice is reduced to simply measuring the rice, preparing the rice properly and using the correct amount of water. once the rice cooker is set to cook, the rice will be cooked with no further attention.
