Alternate and learn to tolerate each other's choices?

Buy two of these:

They are $20 each and you can cook consistently good rice with around 30 seconds of preparation.

Do they work equally well with long-grain, short-grain, and brown rice?

I think you missed one.

Don't most rice cooking requirements fall into the three categories above?

From my personal use, it works well with long-grain, medium-grain, and brown rice. The only difference is the rice to water ratio needed to get the same consistency of rice. I have never tried short-grain but I'm sure it works just fine. My roommate sometimes cooks Cous Cous with it.

I have had one for a few years now and I have no problems with it.

I really want a rice steamer. A purchase I keep forgetting about. I've numerous containers of rice in my cabinet but I never use it except for a few certain recipes.

I knew you guys would have plenty of supremely inventive answers!
For practicality I'm favouring the low-tech, cheesecloth bag approach myself. I'm trying to use fewer utensils, DanaC, glatt and piercehaweye45, I'm afraid, and anyway, I already cook consistently good rice with arould 30 seconds of preparation .
I've tried Zip's method, but frequently it just isn't worth the hassle. Likewise Pete, sometimes eating white rice is easier than persuading, y'know? And Jim - Quinoa?!?! The very name is wierd, I'll eat it, but I fear it's more persuasion for Mr L!!
Probably my favourite idea is ZenGum's, but arranging them on the plate? Can't we train them to lie down the right way up??
Gouging his eyes out would also probably create more problems than it would solve ...
Thank you all so much for helping me to see this in a different (brown?) light!

Yes, except for the Thimmasamundaram Mollakolukulu. Nothing works well with the Thimmasamundaram Mollakolukulu.

In my house, whoever does the cooking gets to pick the ingredients. So if I cook, we eat brown rice. If he cooks, we eat white.

Simple...don't like what I cook? Make your own.
