11. I got a Zojirushi fuzzy logic Japanese rice cooker and never looked back. It's expensive but well worth it.

The ultimate set it and forget it. Perfect brown rice every time. I can either cook it right after I get home from work, or I can set it and let the timer come on to be ready at a pre-chosen time when I get home. Plus, the nutty aroma of cooking brown rice is delectable.

I gave one to my brother as a gift and he has commented several times since that how much he loves his too
