I feel like I'm the only one who knows how to cook rice on the stove in a pot

you're not the only one, but I admit I have looked at rice cookers. the problem is, there's only two of us so they're all just too big for our needs. I make a cup-and-a-half (dry) with most recipes and at worst we end up with just enough left over to go with the rest of the leftovers. I'm sure a rice cooker is a game-changer for a larger household.

Aroma also has 4 cups (cooked, so 2 cups dry) models as well:

Though it's perfectly fine to cook 1 1/2 cups dry in a rice cooker with a 6+ capacity. People do it all the time.

Just because people own a rice cooker doesn't mean they don't know how to cook rice on the stovetop. I own one because I eat a lot of rice, it turns out perfectly in the cooker and I don't need to watch it, it doesn't take up space on the stove, and because I own a model where I can set the timer and have the rice ready to eat when I get home from work.

You're not and that's a really dumb thing to think.

I use a specialized tool for a common task; that doesn't mean I can't still use more generalized tools. I can make tea in a tea pot, with my little silicon sloth tea leaf holder, a metal strainer, a tea bag, or just loose in my mug.

DA

It's not though. Some people just don't waste time, money, or space, on useless gear that can easily be replaced by eye, or common object alone.

Do you just cook it in a pot or do you use a steam basket?

I can cook it both ways and I have a rice cooker. I prefer the steam basket double boil method, but for convenience with better outcome I use a rice cooker regularly.

*and if I'm feeling particularly lazy, I microwave the single serve rice bowls from the Korean grocery market ^_^

It’s silly to think people can’t cook rice on the stove. I have a rice cooker for several reasons. It frees up a burner if I’m making rice at the same time I’m making dinner, it’s a set it and forget it task so I can go do other things without concern I’ll burn the house down, and a high volume rice cooker is more affordable and easier to store than the size cookout I’d need to make 12 cups of rice at a time. Everyone in my household but the cat eats brown rice with every meal. That is a lot of rice and I make a batch every 3-4 days that we store in the fridge. I could do all of that on the stove, but why would I?
