We absolutely love this rice cooker . Don’t let its small size fool you . This thing is a rice cooking machine . Price is very affordable. Love the timer option to have it automatically start and ready at desired time . We like the Calrose sticky rice . We have enjoyed it so much that we brought a couple for gifts for family members for Christmas . One that we ordered got damaged in shipping process but was quickly replaced . With all the oversized kitchen gadgets we have - we like the size for storage and also the fact that all you have to do is rinse the rice - add your water then set it and forget it . The rice comes out perfect and even keeps the rice warm after it’s finished cooking . The next day just add a small amount of water with the rice in a bowl and microwave it - taste just like you just got it out of the rice cooker !! Read more

I was tired of my pot spilling over when I made rice. This appliance makes perfect portions for two people and up to 8 people. I like that I can add the rice and water, push a button, and wait for the unit to tell me when the rice is done. It goes into warm mode when the rice is finished, so I don't have to worry about overcooked rice. Lastly, it's very, very easy to clean. Side note: no one answered when I called customer service for a clarification on their instructions. I called 3 times during their posted hours. Read more

The rice cooker works great and it cooks rice to a perfect soft. I never had bad rice since I purchased this. I only took away a star because I thought the entire rice cooker was stainless steel but the inner pot is Teflon aluminum. If you do care about that I personally wouldn't purchase this one but if you don't it's a great pit. It hold a lot of rice surprisingly because the inner pot is small but again the test and the temperature always comes out well and I've cooked many of different kinds of rice in this. It's great for the cost! Read more

Okay. I'll give it five stars based on the rice it produces and easy of use and design. It does indeed make pretty much perfect rice, white, brown, wild, etc. as well as other grains. It comes with a little measuring cup. The water level marks inside (none too easy to see, are calibrated for the number of these little cups of grain you use. But the cup is about 3/4 cup, Why? Because that's 1-gou, the standard Japanese rice serving measure. But that's no big deal. Nor is it a problem that the water marks inside are hard to read. Just use one measure of water to one measure of rice. I know. That's different from your usual ratio for stovetop rice. There's a little bit of learning to do at first. I use more water with brown rice, more like 1.5 water to one brown rice. And some rice is drier than other rices, and need more water. I find that you can have a little more water, but you don't want to have too little, because the rice will be less than fully prepared. For instance, I forgot about the little measuring cup and absentmindedly used a full one cup measure but added water to the line for two gou. I got slightly underdone rice. Remember that the cooker knows when the water has been absorbed. Rice cookers work because, so long as there is free water in the pot, the temperature cannot rise above 212F (at sea level). So all the pot need do is stop cooking and reduce temperature to warm when the pot temperature rises about 212F. That's why it works for all grains. And that means the cooker doesn't really know when the rice is done, only when the water is gone. Now, you will see all sorts of different ratios recommended by rice cooker recipes and for different cookers. Lots of people use 1.5:1 for white rice. Quinoa is happier with a 2:1 ratio. Anything reasonably close will work, so long as you use enough water for the grain to be fully cooked when the water is gone. If you use a little more water than you needed, it will go on cooking until absorbed. The worst that will happen is that it might get a little softer than you'd like. And you can even fix it when you open the pot and find it isn't quite done. Just add a bit more water and start the cycle again. The cooker will still know when that water is absorbed. That's the lovely thing about a rice cooker. It can sort of peak under the lid for you, plus it doesn't have to be watched. Read more

Absolutely love I use this at least once or twice a week. I’ve had it for a few years now and it still works perfect and does the job well. I may need to get a bigger one though the size is perfect. It’s very versatile because you can steam or make rice. The cooking ability is just absolutely amazing and it’s small enough and compact enough that you can store in a cabinet or have it on your counter. Read more
