 Rice might be better cooked outdoors in a pot, in a pressure cooker, or [[food:cooking:cookware#thermos|in a thermos]].
+==== crock pots ====
+[[food:cooking:crockpot|Crock pots]] (slow cookers) are functionally similar to rice cookers, but are used for low and slow cooking rather than rapid cooking.  For this reason the wattage is (or can be) lower:  75w-250w or so.
