 Cooking rice with the rice cooker. Every few years I try again. I don't trust rice. No matter how many times I rinse it, the water is always cloudy. Not looking forward to cleaning up the entire kitchen later tonight.

I never had luck rinsing, not rinsing, big pot, little pot, or rice cooker. Always a mess or scorched on the bottom, then I tried the instant pot. It comes out perfect and no mess. For brown rice it's 1 part rice to 1 1/4 water or broth  22 minutes with a 15 minute natural release, then release the remaining pressure and voilà rice. 
 @34b3698a For some reason it’s not available.  Great rice cooker. Amazon Basics Mini Rice Cooker with Accessories, 4 Cups Cooked Rice https://a.co/d/ciqFcG0 
 @34b3698a depends on what brand of rice. I would recommend Indian or Persian Basmati long grain rice. First wash with cold water. Scrub it with both hands. Rinse a couple of times and drain. Soak in water for an hour. Cook however you like. 
 @34b3698a As much as I hate single purpose tools, the Amazon Basics Mini Rice Cooker works great for me.  Rinse inside the inner vessel, one button, just use a bit more water than indicated on the marker. Probably depends on rice.
