Hey OzPimps, after a hard week slapping down high prices a Pimp gets hungry. Can anyone recommend a rice cooker that woud do an approximation of the Japanese gyudon fast food restaurant rice? Maybe one with a reheat function as well?

I went through an extended phase with the Kmart coffee grinder.
Isn't grinder a dating site?
@BewareOfThe Dog: Funny story a friend of mine had a housemate that was big into grinder and used to get about half a dozen visits from men most nights of the week. His housemates were really worried about him and organised an intervention about his behaviour. Turned out he was just a mid level drug dealer though.
well then go to the super extended phase https://www.kmart.com.au/product/7-cup-rice-cooker-white-433…
Pimps dont cook for themselves.
The real ones do
Go JDM with a zojirushi
Yeah you might be right it'll just need to be permanently run through a pin converting thing
You can get both Zojirushi and Tiger locally with Australian plugs. Same for Cuckoo which is Korean but also very good.
Plenty of cookers protesting the lockdowns outside Parliament House on most Saturdays in the Melbourne CBD, perhaps you could swing by and pick one up
Bro I'm the worst cooker of them all between the Tuskegee experiment and the sinking of the USS liberty I just believe every conspiracy now
If you change your mind they’ll probably be there every weekend until Dan Andrews tends his resignation
Dan Andrews tends his resignation
Resignation from what?
Wouldn’t a rice cooker be someone who believes the conspiracy theories we are about to be invaded by the Chinese Government?
Nah sadly it's nowhere near as good unless you're a northern Italian chef using it
nowhere near as good
It's better…
I'll have to try
Be aware of the bride price, it's a real thing.
Had a Zojirushi 2 cup rice cooker that we outgrew (was excellent) and replaced it with one of these

Has also been excellent.. got it on sale from Myer a few years ago for $100
Costco sometimes has the Cuckoo ones on special.
We just use our InstantPot but we are WASPs born in the 1960s.
There's two great options. If you want to save a buck, get a Panasonic. Otherwise, go for a Zojirushi.
I'm leaning towards zojirushi and getting my sister in law to bring one back from Japan (they are a fair bit cheaper), I've heard you can just use a spare PC power cord as we gave similar voltage, does this sound right?
Only if the rice cooker says it supports 240v on the bottom. I looked a couple of instruction manuals for Zojirushi rice cookers on their .jp website and the o es I looked at were 100v only.
Ah I see I thought the salesman told me 220v but it's absolutely entirely possible I misunderstood him thanks so much for explaining this
Advice from an Asian: any of Tiger, Cuckoo, Zojirushi. Asian grocery stores or ebay sell them
Ah sweet thanks here's some advice back Rambo LPG gas burners absolutely rule.
Can’t beat Rambo cookers for wok hei. None of the domestic indoor gas cookers can come close.

I do sushi rice program only and it's great for me!
