We had a fancy one, gifted to us, damaged in a move. 5 years ago, I replaced it with a $9.99 minus $1.00 discount model at Walgreen's. Although about 1.5 cups of rice is "capacity", the results are as good, and with brown rice, better than the high dollar model.

The types/brands of rice you buy and how you treat them can have more to do with results than the pan or cooker. We eat rice often, far more than potatoes or even pasta, and keep several varieties around, most often using Texmati Brown (a Texas grown "Basmati") when cooking rice to stand alone, but in the pantry, there's Arborio, Italian "Black", Jasmine, conventional long grain, and some "sticky" dessert rice.

For those who have trouble preparing an attractive bowl of rice, I recall my grandmother's instructions to daughters and granddaughters: "The closest thing to 'Failsafe' is 'Uncle Ben's Converted'. Even an inept bride can serve up separate grains."
