Rice cookers are also dorm-approved.

Actually, they largely aren't.
Very few dorms I've been in or around (I worked in residential life for a while) on this campus and others allow appliances such as rice cookers in the rooms themselves. In my personal dorm, you had to use your rice cooker in the floor kitchen or risk being written up by the RA.
ALWAYS check the rules for your dorm before buying/bringing ANY small appliance into a dorm room. As an RA I always hated having to tell students that no, they couldn't use the new microwave their aunt had bought them for graduation and no, coffee pots aren't allowed in rooms...and George Foreman grills are a big no too.
