I can cook the rest of the meal without worrying about adjusting the temperature on a pot of rice. The rice cooker does exactly what I wanted it to do: make rice. It make decent rice (good texture, no scorching) in a relatively short amount of time. Clean-up is a breeze and you can't beat the price. Nothing fancy - it just works.
I've have had an early version of this rice cooker for 15 years. First I coat pot with olive oil spray. I don't use the internal markings on pot.Putting the water in first has eliminated any burning. Needless to say the instructions disappeared years ago. So, I'm buying a bigger size rice cooker. The first I'd heard of soaking rice was recently.It makes perfect rice for me. But its the last 5 years that I have used it frequently. Measure in my water, add measured rice, usually a 2:1 water to rice ratio.
I make brown or wild rice, even an exotic black Canadian rice. I don't soak or rinse the rice (but may start). Making the max amount has always made a little mess.
so far, so good with this rice cooker. it's really simple and easy to use.i've tried both brown rice and quinoa with success. just turn on the switch, go do something else, and about a 25 minutes later, you have some food to eat. it's saved me a ton of burnt-rice-pan-scrubbing, which i love.
Our family has owned 4 rice cookers in 30 years and this cooks the best rice of all of them. With only 2 to cook for it's the prefect size, quick and very easy to use. The secret is once the cooker shuts off let the cooked rice sit covered for 15 minutes. GREAT rice every time.
This is one of those cheap little gizmos that actually turns out to be a wonder of science.It cooks rice perfectly every time. Put the rice in, put some water in, and it seems to know what to do. How do they do that.Highly recommended.
