Appreciation post: my $12 rice cooker died in the middle of meal prep and saved me from burning 4 pounds of chicken

I was prepping 4 pounds of chicken thighs for the week on Sunday when the cheap $12 rice cooker I've used for 3 years just quit with a little pop and a burnt smell. I ended up dumping the half cooked rice into a pot on the stove and honestly it came out way better than the cooker ever did. Now I'm wondering if I should even bother replacing it, what do you all use for cheap bulk rice without a cooker?
