We use a rice cooker here too - it takes all the geuss work out of it. I like to have a few varieties in the cupboard. The basmati is great and seems to serperate more than some of the other varieties but its not so fluffy as the jasmine rice. Like Tracey says you need to wash your rice before cooking it. I usually rinse it few times in cold water. DH puts a bit of olive oil in when he does rice so it doesn't stick but I don't think its nessescary.
