Gee, how could anything be easier than stovetop rice, especially by the
Chinese method?

To me too, a bit, though I can understand it for *extremely* busy
people.

True, but what kid old enough to cook at all can't learn to cook 
rice on the stovetop?  It ain't exactly rocket science. :)  And do
you really want 'em thinking they have to have a big fancy appliance 
for every simple little process?  A lot of well-off kids these days 
don't ever actually learn how to cook--they only know how to run
machines that cook for them.  And that's okay, I suppose...as
long as they never become _nouveau pauvre_ and are suddenly stuck 
with actual pots and pans. :)
