In my (limited) experience, the problem with ceramic fuses is they tend to heat up and cook when a lot of current is drawn through them due to the fuse element and the end caps being manufactured of inferior material, usually aluminium or similar, that ages quickly causing a poor end cap contact. A poor contact becomes hot when passing current.

A glass fuse typically has tinned brass end caps and either a tin or tinned copper fuse element and the fuse holder designed for glass fuses provides a large surface area of contact and a good clamping force on the contacts and so it will safely handle far more current than the fuse rating and there is no age related deterioration.

It is a good idea to choose the correct fuse rating - glass fuses arrive in 2 types; quick blow and slow blow and the slow sort is a must for devices and appliances with a switch-on current surge and typically the fuse rating is the fail current and the working current is about half the rated value.
Check with your supplier but generally the rating of ceramic and other fuse types is the working current - therefore replacing a 10 amp ceramic fuse would need a 20 amp glass fuse...

Ceramic fuses have better interrupting characteristics under extremely high currents (relative, not break current). Not the case for a rice cooker. Ceramic has advantages in product production, assembly, regulatory as well.
I would not expect glass to make any significant difference.

I also have this problem and I fixed it by adding in a little more water and by removing the power cord from the outlet immediately after the cooker finishes it's cycle. Not ideal, but it does save my rice.

Sounds like the Thermal Fuse inside is blown unscrew the 2 screws on bottom of the cooker you should see a small 2.5 inch insulation wrapped wire leaving a ceramic mounting block to one of the element poles. Now you take off the nut and unscrew it from the pole. Cut off the insulation and underneath will be a Thermal Fuse.

Every time I cook rice in this rice cooker, the rice is burned & I have to throw it out. Help.

The Manual for the Rival RCS200 Rice Cooker can be found here:
http://www.rivalproducts.com/manuals/MANUALS/RCS200_43_68557881.PDF
Make sure you are following the directions for the correct amount of water to rice.
It could be that your unit is not switching from cooking to warming at completion of the cooking cycle. It should automaticaly turn to the Keep Warm Setting when it detects a temperature of 212 degrees F.
The manual advises that there are no servicable parts. If this is a new appliance I would recommend returning it to the point of purchase. If this is not possible try contacting Rival Customer Service to see if they are willing to assist with replacement or repair: See here:

Rice burning at bottom of cooker

Your cooker, along with mine, cooks very hot. If it is new then you can take it back, but if you want to cook with it then you need to stir the rice often. About every 5 minutes should be good. As soon as it is done you need to remove it from the cooker. Let's see how that works.
