My rice cooker broke right before dinner and I had to think fast

I was at home in my kitchen last night, trying to make a big batch of beans and rice to last a few days. I had everything ready to go, but my cheap rice cooker just stopped heating. I mean, the light was on but the pot was cold. I didn't have time to go out, so I just grabbed my biggest pot, dumped the rice and water in, and cooked it on the stove like my grandma used to do. It actually turned out fine, maybe even a little better. Has anyone else had a kitchen gadget fail on them and had to go back to basics? What's your backup plan?

My grandma's old pot method saved me too, but @taraw16, foolproof gear can still just die on you.

Honestly, my grandma's old pot died on me mid-rice once. Awkward.

Rice cookers are basically foolproof though, can't mess it up.
