ahh yeah, I both wouldn't consider that a great rice cooker, and also one that probably only does its best in like 2-4 cups of rice (uncooked) at minimum

it might be mostly an issue of size then, since it heats in a way expecting a larger load

this one collects steam on the inside of the lid

you essentially hvae to go over as soon as it switches "off", wipe down the top, and close it back again to finish steaming
Comic
@pbdigital
Sun, Nov 8, 2020 7:00 AM
I could use dad's multiple times in a row and it wouldn't fill
LOVE☆STRUCK
@love_struck
Sun, Nov 8, 2020 7:00 AM
but if you let it sit done without opening it and wiping it down, it'll all go back down into the rice

it's so weird bc if I thought it was just i was using too much water, like that adjustment would be fine, but...

idk, maybe try making a double batch of rice with the intent of using half of it for fried rice

even if it gets a little soggy it can dry out in the fridge

Oh yeah, I'm def thinkinng of doing so, if only because I actually do want fried rice
