At my house, we eat a whole lot of brown rice. It sops up the sauces of our favorite stir fries and curries, turns side salads into full meals, and makes a yummy breakfast porridge when another day of oatmeal just won’t do. And while I’ve gotten pretty good at cooking grains on the stove top, I’ve also had my fair share of mess ups (read: rice that’s still watery—or worse—crusty!). The way I see it, there are two solutions to this problem:

1. Hover over the stove and stare at my rice until it’s cooked just right.
2. Buy a rice cooker.

I’m willing to bet many of you rice-eaters are in the same boat as me. But before you head to the store, enter for your chance to win one of two Lotus Rice Cookers from Lotus Foods, and you could be saying goodbye to undercooked or stuck-to-the-pot grains for good. Hurry, contest ends June 30th!
