My rice cooker broke right before dinner and I had to improvise

I was at home last Tuesday, about to make a big batch of beans and rice, when my cheap rice cooker just stopped heating. I had already soaked the beans overnight. I ended up boiling the rice in a regular pot with extra water, then drained it like pasta. It worked fine and saved the meal. Has anyone else had a kitchen gadget die and found a cheaper way to do the same thing?

That's a solid save, and @ramirez.blair's mixer trick is smart too.

My blender motor burned out, but a cheap hand mixer got the job done.
