A Sound Invvestment

Ever notice how healthy cooking seems so high-maintenance? A lot more difficult than coasting through the drive-through, it demands loads of patience, not to mention vigilance. When you need a helping hand (or three), invest in a rice cooker -- it makes those good-for-you grains ridiculously easy to prepare. Unlike the stovetop method that chains you to the kitchen -- and forces you to scrape out the inevitably burned bottom -- the rice-steamer yields a fragrant batch of rice that's timed to the minute. It's smarter than us -- it knows exactly when to stop. Its bag of tricks also includes the know-how to steam veggies and make oatmeal from scratch. At a range of price points, from basic to bells-and-whistles, it's a great investment in healthy eating. Now sit down, relax, and enjoy your dinner!

This will only work if you have the room for it to have its permanent home on your countertop. I have one and it spends most of its time in the cabinent. I always forget about it until after dinner is already on the table.
