I found this article pretty interesting… it seems to contradict the current cooking zeitgeist

    By the time it’s been frozen, thawed and microwaved, wouldn’t rice cooker rice lose water weight and quite possibly be more in line with IP rice initial values? Not to mention all the energy used in the extra steps.

      the weight doesn’t change all that much post freeze, and the ease of having readily available frozen rice i can leave in the fridge to thaw overnight for the next days meal, beats having to use (and clean) the rice cooker or ip each time. it works for me, and feels like i’m cheating in how simple it is. one rice cook sets me up for a couple weeks of meals that i use rice with.
