What are the odds that American household have a rice cooker? [closed]

We started a Kickstarter project of creating an e-book with online videos to show you how to make sushi, from a master sushi chef.

We are wondering what the odds are that an American family has a rice cooker. We are thinking of adding a section in the book to teach people how to cook rice using their pans, to save them money from buying rice cookers.

Best Answer

Most American households don't have rice cookers - it's just not part of traditional American kitchens. Most Asian-American households probably do. Some reasonable fraction of people likely to make sushi do - but probably not all.

But this seems beside the point. Cooking rice in a pot is simple, and won't take a significant amount of work to explain. Why not just do it?
