So I just got a rice cooker off of Amazon. Every rice cooker I've seen so far has a lid with two components, and inner one with some sort of rubber steam vent thingy and a (plastic I think?) outer one with a tight seal. The one I got today seems to just have a glass lid with a little circular steam hole, just like any regular old saucepan/pot lid, and no rubber seal at all, it just goes on top of the inner pot/steamer attachment.

Is this normal? Any idea on whether this will be worse at all than the other kind? Should I try to find a better one?

@guilevi I don't think rice cookers are necessarily pressure cookers. The rubber thing is to close off the pot to build up pressure so if this isn't a pressure cooker that would be why it's not there I ... think?

@zersiax This is exactly why I'm confused as to why the other ones I've seen have it. I don't think rice cookers do specifically use pressure, but I've seen it on others and I'm literally just wondering why it's there and whether it matters much. Google is turning out not to be very helpful haha
