The CUCKOO CRP-RT0609FW has completely changed how I cook rice and meals. The twin-pressure feature gave me the ability to pick high or soft pressure depending on what I was making. It doesn't matter if it's fluffy white rice or hearty brown rice, it always comes out nice. The 14 menu options are so convenient; I've made GABA rice, porridge and steamed vegetables. The nonstick inner pot is a huge help when it comes to clean-up, and the Auto Clean is an awesome feature that makes it easy to keep clean without extra effort. I liked the Safe Steam Release safety feature, and the 3-language voice guide in English, Korean, and Chinese is pretty nifty and surprisingly helpful. Overall, this rice cooker is sleek, smart, and affordable. It looks great on your counter and cooks like some high quality, restaurant-quality, worth-every-penny kind-of-machine each time. I would definitely recommend this to anybody that wants dependable, high-tech cooking that is easy and enjoyable! Read more
This Cuckoo rice cooker is amazing. It cooks rice perfectly — soft, fluffy, and evenly cooked every time. The build quality feels premium, and the design looks sleek on the counter. I love the keep-warm function that keeps the rice fresh for hours without drying out. Definitely worth the price if you eat rice often! Read more
First, these cook rice to the satisfaction of the Korean consumers, who prefer really plump, hard rice, unlike people who eat long grain rice or the Japanese consumers who prefer softer fluffy rice. Furthermore, Korean pressure rice cookers cook at a higher pressure and higher temperature than other pressure cookers such as Instant Pot. That's the reason most Korean households primarily use pressure rice cookers. On the other hand, pressure rice cookers are non-existent in Japan. So, if you prefer your medium grain or short grain rice cooked in Japanese style, this is not for you. I bought this to replace one that is about 15 years old. The voice thingy has become very talkative. It used to only say what's necessary, but now it just keeps on talking. It's good that one can turn it off. The font/words for the buttons are very light, which makes them very difficult to see. Compared to 15 years ago, the options to tweak the cooking parameters is much easier, such as keep warm temperature, degree of browning on the bottom, change language and the volume and some other functions. I don't really see anyone would need to deviate from the default program, but if you want, there they are. Also, because of voice instructions, it's easy to personalize the rice cooker. Other than that, it's a Cuckoo rice cooker. Some complain that it's too big. Yes, it is little bigger than the Japanese brands. But one needs to remember that this is a pressure cooker, which means it gets hotter, so there should be more insulation material between the outer wall and the cooking pot. Also, the primary target market is Korea, where the rice cooker sits on the kitchen counter and is never put away. So, storage convenience was not really on their mind when the designed them. If you want a Korean rice cooker, Cuckoo is the one to get. Not only is it the best-selling brand in Korea, but consumable parts such as the pressure seal rings are easier to find. Read more
Works reasonably well, though nurungi (rice at bottom of the pot) tends to be discolored even when not fully dried. Compared to our older cooker, the pot is much easier to clean and the handles make it easy to pop out even when hot for serving. Read more

I purchased this rice cooker a year ago, and I can confidently say it’s one of the best kitchen investments I’ve ever made. The rice comes out perfect every single time. The rice is fluffy, evenly cooked, and absolutely delicious. What I really love about it is how versatile and easy to use it is. I’ve used it to make porridge, steam veggies, and even try a few experimental recipes. Love the design and color plus it still looks and works like new, even after a year of regular use. If you have high standards for rice, especially from growing up eating it daily, this rice cooker will meet (and exceed) your expectations! Read more
When I cook white rice using the high-pressure cooking the rice gets scorched at the bottom. But when I use the no-pressure cooking the rice comes out undercooked. Read more
