I became lazier ever since I discovered how to cook rice in the rice cooke

I must admit that I became lazier ever since I discovered how to cook rice in the rice cooker. I usually have monstrous disaster when cooking rice in a stove. When I'm doing it in the rice cooker, I have more peace of mind and more time on my hands. I agree that the power outs forces me to cook back again to the stove but it cannot be helped. I remember the first time when I tried to cook rice - I put the rice and the water in the caldero in the previous night to cook it later in the morning. I got an earful and everybody got an extra helping of rice..

I know that cooking rice is supposed to be easy, however, I still find it to be a challenge for me at times. I have not yet perfected it and usually end up with either too much rice or too hard rice. I realize that cooking it is all about balance. Can you cook rice? Are you good at it? What's your technique?
