5.5 million rice cookers sold in Japan every year suggests they can do good sticky rice.
I meant like Thai sticky rice, not Japanese stickyish rice.
NotThamesWater-
Yes, should do a good job.
The stickiness mainly comes from the rice variety. sticky glutinous rice isn't the same as jasmine rice, and normally is soaked for hours, then steamed, rather than cooked in a pan.I usually soak sushi rice for an hour before I put in the rice cooker.
This is cheap, easy to compare results of cooking the rice in the main compartment, or cooking the rice in a cloth in the steamer basket. Had one like this through uni, non stick survived about 2 weeks before a housemate tried to clean it with a metal scourer.

Don’t think that basmati rice really tastes of anything, just a flavour or sauce absorber. And because of the structure, feels to me that I’m just swallowing rice grains rather than chewing and eating it.
