I see what you're saying... a chopper or a bobber is a specific look, but not necessarily a specific make. I've recategorized a bit...
Thanks all for the contributions! I've updated the top post. Keep em coming!
Risotto rocket. That's what I correct people to when they call it a "rice burner."
Risotto burner would be more consistent, but "rocket" makes it more alliterative.
