These 5 Rice Cookers Make Cooking Jollof and White Rice a Breeze

Rice is a staple in Nigerian kitchens—jollof rice at parties, ofada rice on weekends, plain steamed rice on busy days, and concoction rice and beans save the week for some. A quality cooker makes your rice come out perfectly cooked, giving you more time to focus on seasoning and sides (and some time to press your phone). Everyone has different needs based on capacity. Singles or couples may prefer a 3-cup (or 1.5-liter) rice cooker; small families of three to four people may prefer a 5-cup (or 1-liter) rice cooker, while large families may prefer a 6-cup rice cooker. With features like keep‑warm/auto shut‑off to prevent overcooking, Steamer tray for vegetables or plantain, and techy/induction heating for precise temperature control, these five rice cooker models stand out.
