Hygiene problems; quick & easy answer. You see all those nooks and crannies in the rice cooker? The linings, channels and wedges that make up the components of the cooker? All those are hiding places for the gunk that comes from cooking the rice, and cleaning it after the fact is a challenge for most mortals. And it tends to get worse with age and usage if the rice cooker user doesn't maintain impeccable hygiene, which means cleaning the cooker fastidiously and sanitizing it with bleach etc without compromising the electronics. Tall order huh? Yes and no, but the cleaning has to be done.
The Fred Flintstone solution is to go back to the tried and true. Simple pot, timer and good old vigilance. My bet: there is little that a rice cooker can do that can't be done with the above-mentioned, except leaving the rice to steam 24/7 which is a bit of a cooking aberration if you ask me.
After my rice cooker croaked I junked it and reverted to the ol' Flintstone method of cooking rice and I couldn't be more happier. The rice doesn't spoil in 24 hours and yes, now that I have learned my lesson, I clean my pot fastidiously with every cookin' .Upside? It's way easier than trying to get into them nooks crannies. *Cee-Max
Rice doesn't spoil until it has grown mold or bacteria in it. If you mean to say overcooking, then it is either due to too much water in the rice, or too long of cooking time.
