Am I eventually going to recommend every single household appliance to you? Possibly. Well, probably not a bread maker since they're the biggest, most useless things a person can own. But everything else in Williams-Sonoma? I want it all.

The fact that this is a rice cooker and a steamer? Get the hell out. I've only had it a short while (thank you, Marla!), but I've wanted one for a long time and it's fulfilled so many of my kitchen dreams. You ever steam something as a side dish for dinner? People take you seriously the day you undertake a task like that. Also, owning one of these signifies the end of sad, sad era of standing over a pot of rice hoping that it doesn't burn or become mush.

If you make rice more than twice a week, it makes zero sense for you not to have one of these.
