As the title says. I have an older black and decker rice cooker. It’s been working ok but it always burns the bottom. Does anybody here have a brand they recommend?

Zojirushi and Tiger make great rice cookers, I’ve had a few.
That said I’ve replaced my zojirushi with an instant pot. And you can do a whole bunch of other things with an instant pot. The instant pots rice program is just as good as a dedicated rice cooker.
My instant pot always takes sooo long to pressurize! It feels like the rice cooks forever by the time the pressure is ready. Did you have this issue at all when starting?
Total cooking time for rice in the instant pot isn’t much different from my zojirushi. You can speed up the instant pot though by pressing down on the lid when steam is coming out to force it to seal early. This little pressure increase will cause that pressure nub to pop up and seal so pressure will more quickly increase.
Ohhh I’ll have to try that! Sometimes the little nub won’t pop up for so long I feel like the rice has to be done cooking just from the heat alone.
The other key tip for instant pot rice is to let the pressure release naturally. The rice needs time to absorb all that water after the cooking cycle completes.
