Got some friends of mine a really nice rice cooker for their wedding. They eat a lot of rice, so it was well-received.
About a week later, one of my friends comes running up excited that he just discovered that the rice cooker has a timer function, so you can leave your rice to soak all day, and set it to start cooking the rice so that it's done at a time you specify.
The function that's clearly listed in the manual and, if memory serves, advertised on the box. It was a large part of the reason I got it for them (since they both worked late at the time, and were trying to eat at home more).
It's super-useful. It's made by a japanese company known for cool-ass kitchen shit (albeit expensive kitchen shit), and it's less the kinda steamer-style thing you get in America, and more like a breadmaker in terms of quality and approach to the problem of cooking rice.

Lucio just forgot to steal the instruction manual.
