This is the fourth rice cooker I have owned and it is by far and away the best. The rice cooks right every time. The manual does give a guide of how much water to add for different types of rice but I have found that even when I screw up and do not use the right amount of water the rice has turned out pretty good.
I enjoy the fact that the device has a sealed top which really seems to help the rice be more consistent and also makes me feel better having this unit used with three small children in the house running around. The rice receptacle inside is a delightful non-stick surface that is more then easy to clean. The steam feature for other items works wonderful as well. I have left rice in the device for over two hours after cooking and it is still moist, tasty and not burnt. The one touch button cooking is a breeze and for me it takes about 30 minutes or so in most instances for the quantity I cook.
The only thing I learned I had to do is not place the device under anything when cooking. There is a starchy steam that is released during cooking that can coat wood and other surfaces. On wood this starch coating can be a pain to remove.
This is a great device to cook an entire meal or side in quick mindless ease. I can’t think of a feature I would change on this unit. A great device that actually has increased the amount of rice and vegetables I and my family consume. Unless you need larger quantities of rice then this device is capable of I really can’t see why anyone would need anything else. This is a great product at a great price. Wonderful!
I liked this cooker very much. It cooks very well. My complaint is about the quantity. Why don’t they just say that it cooks 8 cups of rice instead of saying 16 cups of cooked rice. I haven’t measured the cooked rice, but I really wonder if its 16 cups of cooked rice.
My problem is that we Indians normally cook rice, rice:water = 1:2 ratio. So this rice cooker only cooks 5 1/4 cups of rice (cups included in the kit).
I bought this getting mislead 16 cups of cooked rice and had to return it. My rating is based on the quality. I could have given 5 stars but for the misleading quantity information.
Most of the time it cooks rice well but every once and a while it will just keep cooking it forever instead of turning off so now I have to watch it all the time because I’m afraid it will just keep cooking the rice that is done.
