A pot is IMO sufficient for single use cooking (maybe once every 1-2 weeks of cooking) if you are not a primary rice household.

I mean I eat rice more days than I don't and I use a pot. 15 minutes + mostly unattended, while I'm prepping some protein or whatever.

My problem is the cleaning after with starchy stuff.
Especially sticky rice variants are annoying to clean (read: throw in the dishwasher)

With a rigid bamboo pot scraper (and, yes, a little soaking if really stuck on there), I've found it's actually not worth the bother of the dishwasher when it's so easy to do by hand.

But I'm into a real rice rythme these days lol

Is that just a small piece of bamboo that you cut or something transformed. I can't seem to find much information searching for bamboo pot scra

I just bought mine at a retail outlet. Here's an old and unused one for comparison. This is after a couple years' use.

Oh I found it online: https://www.bambuhome.com/products/pot-scrapers-set-of-4
