A colleague and I used to do this at work. We are both able to produce exceptional results that would make MPW cry into his bain marie.
I wouldn't do it at home though as I find the constant opening, closing, and holding an eggy fork a hassle. That said the work microwave is counter height and the home is head height so that might be a factor. Also at home I'm usually timing it with other stuff which is harder to do in the microwave.
The rice chat is fascinating. Although I'm surprised that no one has mentioned the single best thing about rice cookers...
... that close to burnt sticky bit on the bottom.
Although I assume all of the fancy ones linked here can't do that. Which seems like a tragedy and indicative of how far people have strayed from the true path bound up by all the marketing hype and faux-USPs.
If you like that, you should get into cooking rice in a cast iron Le Creuset (other brands are available) pot in the oven for 45 minutes. Swap half the water for coconut milk if you are real swag.
