Long story short: my rice intake has greatly increased and I'm curious as to how people re-heat steamed white rice. Is this something I could do in a rice cooker?
I know day old rice is best for fried rice but some days I'd prefer to just have steamed rice on the side.

I warm mine up in the microwave I cover with plastic wrap or put in a microwave steamer and add a little water and re steam
I didn't realize a microwave steamer was a real thing until I just googled it. Thanks!
I steam rice in the microwave occasionally if I have a lot of people that I am making rice for. but I found I haven't been able to successfully steam Jasmine rice in the microwave. LOL! Just haven't tried after failing twice. but will look into it later.
I use my vegetable steamer all the time.
did you know you can pop popcorn in a paper bag in the microwave??
Microwave in loosely closed box with added water.
It one of those things you shouldn't feel guilty about using a microwave for.
As others have said, add a teaspoon of water.
Get it quite hot though. Apparently next day rice has one of the highest hit rates for food poisoning.
Sprinkle with water and then cover and microwave it. No need to buy a microwave steamer; just cover loosely with plastic wrap.
I just put it in the pot with a splash of water
Make fried rice.
You use leftover steamed rice for stuff like fried rice. If you want more steamed rice, steam more rice.
Rice cookers also have a setting to keep your rice warm, but once it's cold or been in the fridge, just steam more rice.
Microwaved leftover rice is fine. And I mean fine for 1-3 days afterwards as long as you’re reheating just the amount you want to eat each day
I didn't say it's not edible.
Microwave with a splash of water and a cover.
