We have a rice cooker. It is normally so much easier to put it on than cook rice the other way..... in a saucepan....well actually it has been so long since we cooked it another way I forget how to. We often eat rice so I have a lot of experience in putting on the rice cooker. I thought I would mention some really good ways to not cook rice. It is surprisingly easy

Warning: Do not try this at home, it could result in a very hungry family and a rather late tea/dinner.

1. Forget to put it on entirely
Result: The rice does not get cooked

2. Forget to plug it in
Result: The rice does not get cooked

3. Forget to press start
Result: The rice does not get cooked

4. Press start and plug it in, but forget to push the plug that joins the cord, to the cooker, in properly.
Result: The plug falls out half way through cooking, rice does not get cooked, well not properly cooked.

5. Forget to put any water in with the rice
Result: The rice does not get cooked (but surprisingly the cooker and the rice still work)

6. Your little brother opens the lid half way and forgets to close it
Result: The rice possibly does not get cooked, it depends how long it stays that way for.

7. Put way too much water in
Result: The rice does get cooked, but is in the form of a gluggy lump.

So there you are, those are all the different ways we cook our rice. Oh we do often remember to do everything right, well normally.
