    Agreed. Fire tablets are garbage. Super slow, outdated tech designed to shovel ads at your kids.

    The uncomfortable truth is the best tablet for kids is a new iPad Air. It’ll be up to date for its lifespan of years and the parental controls, ecosystem and screentime functionality make it great for kids.

    You can hate Apple but as a parent the iPad is great for kids.

    This is crazy talk. I’ve had my zojirushi rice cooker for over 10 years. As long as you wash the pot and lid properly and don’t scratch it with metal utensils it should last forever. Replacement parts are available but the need should be rare unless you are a Neanderthal.

    If your experience is you frequently need to replace parts for your rice cooker, then you’re buying the wrong rice cooker.


  • Try the instant pot first before you spend any money. use 1:1.1 rice to water ratio (adjust water up or down to your taste), push down on the lid to force it to seal early, and use the 12 minute program. When it’s done let pressure release naturally. We make instant pot rice multiple times a week, mostly Japanese rice but also jasmine and plain rice. All cooked the same way.
