A guy at the hardware store tried to sell me a $40 'gourmet' rice cooker for my kitchen

He was real pushy about it, saying cheap food needed fancy tools. I told him my $10 pot from Goodwill has made rice for years. Happened in the aisle at Ace on Main Street. He just shook his head. Anyone else get weird advice about needing expensive gear to cook cheap?

Ever try that guy's rice? Bet it's just as mushy as mine. My cheap pot works fine, you just gotta watch the heat.

My buddy Dave bought one of those expensive rice cookers last year, the fancy Japanese kind. He was so proud of it, showed it off like a new car. Thing is, he still messes up the water ratio every single time. Last week he made a batch that was basically glue. We had to order pizza. His old ten dollar pot from college never failed him like that.
