Crux 12 Cup Non-Induction Rice Cooker Multi-Cooker Food Steamer Slow Cooker Stewpot Easy One-Pot Healthy Meals Dishwater Safe

I am a busy mom of 3 adult children working, living and studying from home. I am working part-time out of the home (thankfully), and am always wondering where the food goes while I am at work. The solution I have come up with is to cook ahead and try to stay ahead of the game. I have always tried to use a crockpot when I can, but the thought of dragging that heavy piece out of the cabinet and then having to clean it, just doesn’t seem worth the effort. The Crux Rice steamer is a perfect solution for me. I have created a permanent spot on the counter for this appliance because I find that I will use it frequently. Don’t let the name rice cooker fool you. While it cooks rice to PERFECTION and takes the guesswork out of making it, by having different settings for different types of rice, it is also a great slow cooker. I had a pot roast meal in the cooker in 10 minutes, pressed the slow cook button in the afternoon, shut the lid and dinner was ready in a few hours, warming until it was time to eat. The pot is just large enough to fit the meat, or any other meal you want to make. Did I mention the GREAT DESIGN? It’s a sleek and clean looking appliance. Clean up was also simple. I would like to see a feature added where you could choose between a longer and shorter period of slow-cook, as with traditional crockpots, but it is not a game changer. This is a very useful appliance with a very attractive look and super easy to use and clean. I also liked how you could cook an entire dinner in it by using the steamer basket on top of the pot for veggies or protein. I am excited to try many different recipes with my new Crux cooker!

I love it. It does what I want it to do. It’s great. It goes off when it’s ready which I love so I don’t have to keep looking to see if it’s ready like my last rice cooker. I finally noticed what everyone said about this rice cooker. It isn’t 12 cups. Maybe it can fit 12 cups of uncooked food. But not cooked. I put four cups of rice in here once and when it was ready the rice cooker was completely filled to the brim. Imagine if it actually out 12 cups to cook in here??? Yikes. But I honestly don’t need 12 cups of rice anyway. 4 was my max and that was because I had guests and was still too much. So this isn’t a problem for me. If you actually need more than four cups I would suggest a different rice cooker. I noticed the stars asked about a timer function. What timer function? There isn’t one displayed. Every variation has a different time but there isn’t a way to figure that out. You just hear the ring when it’s ready and that’s it. So I typically put my food in there at least an hour before I plan on eating to ensure it’s ready in time. But I love this thing. It cooks everything and it cooks it well. If it comes out dry it’s on you. You probably didn’t add enough water. I do quinoa, jasmine rice, couscous, yellow rice, brown rice, the works in here and everything comes out perfect. It’s super easy to clean. And comes with everything you need from the measuring cup to the scoop even a scoop holder. Read more

Hello rice lovers! I allowed my college age daughter to use this product from start to finish! She loves making “bowls” and therefore well made rice is essential! She was Very excited about the “ stew” feature since her dorm does not have a stove . She was also impressed with the rice cooking variations offered! She had not realized different rice varieties require different cooking. She felt the directions were clear and the process very simple. The finished product was very good!!! She will be in an apartment next year and called her roommate as soon as the jasmine rice was complete- saying, “this is going to ROCK next year !” Kids don’t like to do dishes and this product, being a one dish meal definitely addresses that issue!! Great for college kids or busy family because of “turn it on snd leave it “ capability Read more

Pros: Multiple functions. 600 watt non-induction heating power . 😋 Cons: Design flaws. 6 cup Teflon coating aluminum pot . ( Three cups of uncooked rice will yield about six cups of cooked rice. ) It is hard to keep the lid clean after each use . Only the steam vent is detachable. 😔 Read more
