We eat a lot of rice and I've decided a rice dispenser would be a nice present for Christmas

Cool. Does it really take only one leave to keep them out of the flour? We use several leaves per canister of rice and mix them in.
What’s white an crawls up your leg?

Thank you, 3rd grade.
My rice-farmer’s-daughter filipina wife has a big plastic bin she dumps 50 lb sacks of rice in. She scoops it out with whatever is handy and into the pot it goes. Then she hangs her fingers into the pot while the water goes in and determines the proper amount of water by feel. No worries about bugs or shelf life, the rice doesn’t hang around long enough for anything like that. I offered a dispenser to her once, she couldn’t see the need for it.
Be careful ... the rice dispenser police are LOOKING for people like youo and me.
I just use my hand to measure, but I’m an extra-large model.
So, you literally keep the bugs at bay.

She’ll say ‘The Manually Operated model still works just fine.”
A question I have now begun to agonize over as well.
I still use the National rice cooker that I bought in 1976, to the consternation of my Japanese friends. What they don't know is that my son inherited his National rice cooker that my parents bought in 1967, and he is still using it too.
LOL. There is something about the leaves which they can’t stand, even when the leaves are past the “sell by” date. If I find them at closeout places like Ollies or Big Lots, I can usually negotiate an additional 50% or more off if they are past the sell by date.
Before you ask, they are still out of chicken straighteners.
On the contrary. Had a Taiwanese roomie. He’d buy the 50# or whatever bags, and just about had rice with every meal.
The cooked rice would occasionally begin to grow something if he got distracted from his routine.
Don’t remember it otherwise being a problem with storage, dispensing, or insects.
I’ve found that the easiest way to get that effect of ‘restaurant rice’ that can be neatly scooped is to boil it long and slowly with just a little water. If you have a big family, you may consider a pressure cooker,

Best rice I ever had was in a Cuban restaurant. They would only tell me that they cooked it in the oven.
Second best rice is what I cooked in a pressure cooker.
He LOVES it.
“It’s on my list for Christmas - along with an electronic dog polisher ...”
I got my wife the cat model last year. She happily used it on the cat......once.
you may consider a pressure cooker, although I’m a little afraid of those things, having seen too many comedies by the Three Stooges or Laurel & Hardy or Lucille Ball.
...
Don’t forget Rodney Dangerfield.
I bought my wife a pressure cooker.
Now we eat off the ceiling.
Oven Baked Rice! Veeeery Interesting!
I’ll have to conduct a few ‘experiments’.
One usually works when changed a couple of times a year.
A peak empire kitchen luxury if I ever saw one.
