My experience has been very different. They take about the same amount of tone. While I’ve never had bad rice cooker results, I have screwed up several different ways on the stovetop. While I never pay attention to the rice cooker after I start it, I have had to watch it on the stove top to keep it from boiling over or drying out or burning
Rice cooks in 10-12 minutes on the stove but my rice cooker always takes 20 minutes at least.
I can imagine screwing rice up but… not regularly? I just don’t think that putting a pan on to simmer is difficult or requires much attention. I have never burnt rice nor boiled it over. I have dried it out occasionally, but the rice cooker also sometimes does that.
