    Aha.

    Baking recipe:

    Preheat oven to 325 degrees F [...] Bake in preheated oven until the water is absorbed

    So "baking" is boiling the rice in the oven. Microwaving is boiling the rice in a microwave and "rice cooker is an automated kitchen appliance designed to boil rice"

    I fail to see how boiling the rice till the water soaks using a device other than the stove is a fundamentally different method of preparing rice.

      The safest method of cooking rice is therefore to soak it overnight, then wash and rinse it until the water is clear, before draining it well and boiling in a saucepan, with a ratio of five parts water to one part rice.
