After high school I started using a rice steamer to reduce burning accidents. Now I just use a big saucepan & lid which gives better control of time vs. heat. One less bulky thing on the counter. The key was understanding my stove's low heat settings vs. the type of rice and amount of water.
Still have the old steamer but it's packed away in the attic.
