Its for a BONRI rice cooker the fuse keeps getting burned after a while.
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. If you have a Ohm Meter or a continuity tester attach each lead to either side and it probably will test negative. Part # is written on the Thermal Fuse. Probably a
