dragonlaw, Hello fellow Ontarian! Regarding your signature saying (Meddle not...etc), here are a couple in the same vein: (Comment by a bear "Humans in sleeping bags are like soft tacos." Or, two sharks are observing some surfers in wetsuits. One says to the other, "They're hard to peel, but the insides are delicious."
About rice, and rice cookers: If you are new to rice cookers, you may not yet have discovered that if you plan to put anything else--like meat or vegetables--in with the rice, stuff tends to drop to the bottom and influence the temperature of the cooker. Basically, the cooker thinks it is hotter than water and so it shifts from high to low, because, it believes, the rice is cooked.. You will never get the rice cooked. Hint: make sure your vegies and meat are already cooked. Then, when the plain rice is partially cooked and has a solid surface on its top, you can add the other stuff. When the cooker does at the right time shift to low, you can stir everything together.
