Rice has been a part of the staple diet of us indians since yore. Rice is mostly cooked. Modern-day cookers have replaced yesteryears' rudimentary techniques; of these, the latest electric cookers. The preparation of rice has traditionally been a cooking process that requires attention to ensure the rice is cooked properly. Rice cookers simplify the process by automatically controlling the heat and timing, while at the same time freeing up a heating element on the range. Although the rice cooker does not necessarily speed up the cooking process, the cook's involvement in cooking rice with a rice cooker is reduced to simply using the correct amount of water. Once the rice cooker is set to cook, the rice will be cooked with no further attention.Restaurants that serve a lot of rice, particularly those specializing in asian cuisine, often use industrial size electric cookers that quickly and cheaply produce large quantities of cooked rice. An electric cooker is a standard appliance in kitchens in many asian countries and in many asian households; indeed a recent survey showed that over 95% of japanese kitchens feature such a device. Some electric cookers are designed to accommodate a basket above the rice. This basket is generally used to steam vegetables, holding them in the steam coming off the rice. Most types of dumpling and buns can also be cooked this way
