A rice cooker or rice steamer is an automated kitchen appliance designed to boil or
steam rice. It is a simple set up and consists of a heat source, a cooking bowl, and a thermostat...Nearly everyone in Japan uses a rice cooker instead of a normal pan.
Pressure coolers ARE sometimes used instead...but the result is the same:-D
Piping hot sticky rice;-)
The machine usually used to cook rice is called a "rice cooker" - because it is made specifically for that purpose. For example, you may use this phrase in a sentence in the following ways:
-I am getting my mother a rice cooker for Christmas because it's going to make her life easier and save her time in the kitchen.
お米を炊く機械は特にその目的のために作られたものなので、「rice cooker｣と言います。
例えば、以下のように文の中で使えるでしょう：
I am getting my mother a rice cooker for Christmas because it's going to make her life easier and save her time in the kitchen.
（クリスマスに母に炊飯器を買う予定です。時間が節約できて楽になると思うので）
他のアンカーの方も回答してらっしゃるように、
「炊飯器」はrice cookerと言います。
例）
I bought a rice cooker yesterday.
「昨日炊飯器を買った」
This rice cooker is broken.
「この炊飯器は壊れている」
以上です。
少しでも参考になれば幸いです(*^_^*)
