      Some rice cooker has a built in schedular. You can program it to cook at certain time.

          You might want to sit down for this.

          There are rice cookers that can weight the rice then add water themselves. You put the rice in and set the time, it will add water automatically when it’s time to cook.

          Soaking rice is often recommended! Even overnight. I’m too lazy for that but I soak mine for 30-60 min before cooking.

      Why are you waiting the rice cooker to finish? it’s usually automatically changed to warmer mode after the cooking is done.

          Umm… maybe get a better one that doesn’t burn the bottom?

          After decade of using the same $30 rice cooker, last month I grabbed an Induction Rice Cooker that’s on sale for $119 (down from $199). It was LIFE CHANGING! Can’t believe how awesome it is. It can cook rice, soup, porridge, steam, reheat, even bake cake. And it do ALL of that PERFECTLY without ever burning a thing.

          My cheap rice cooker burns it if I wait for the click. I set a timer on my watch for 12.5 minutes and haul-ass back to the kitchen to unplug it.

        Maybe my rice cooker isn’t expensive enough. It’s a mid range one that does a pretty good job, but if I leave it on warm for a long while after finishing the rice turns to shit. I buy more expensive/good rice and don’t like it getting ruined.
