IMUSA USA GAU-00013 Electric Nonstick Rice Cooker 8-Cup Uncooked 16-Cup Cooked White

Personally, I love this rice cooker! I had a more fancy one, then I sadly dropped it and it broke. I was on a budget, so I got this one to replace it. If you know the right things to do, your rice will come out delicious! Just like any other rice cooker for the most part. Pros: It is big and holds a lot of rice! I cook for a lot of people quite often, so I really needed a big one. The rice for me comes out nice and fluffy. I add a little extra water, salt, and butter to my rice and it is great. Does everything it needs to do. The bowl comes out which is great to wash my rice and store any leftover rice. The price is so good considering it works as it should! Cons: The click for when it is done is very low and hard to hear. It doesn't beep, the switch just goes up and that's all you might hear. It is so easy to miss. That is truly the biggest down fall for this reason.... if you leave the rice on warm after the click it will start to brown on the bottom and overcook the rice. So, you have to keep an eye on it and unplug it and/or take the bowl out so it does not overcook. I check on my food often, so it is fine for me. But that can be a huge dealbreaker for many. The measurements that give you are not exact. I am truly not sure why. But I use my own measuring tools and it is a super easy fix. Read more

The item came later than expected and the box seemed like it had been opened and sloppily taped shut again. It was a flimsy manufacturer’s box- torn cardboard; not a shipping box. But the item I had ordered seemed to be fine and all the the pieces were there. Maybe something happened in transit - like vehicle accident. Anyway, the rice maker works well and I appreciate the glass lid because I can see the rice cooking inside. It is easy to tell if I need to add more water or not. The removable insert pot sticks a little so I found it is best to spray with non-stick oil before adding rice and water. Bottom line is this is a good little rice maker and the price was fair. Amazon usually does a great job at delivering stuff I order but I think there was a problem in transit with this item. Read more

Great little rice cooker. Does not come with a steam basket. Can be used daily or just occasionally.. large enough to cook rice for about eight people. Small enough design to store simply. The durability of this rice cooker is excellent. No stickiness with their eyes whenever after cooking. The button functionality is easy. Just remember to turn it to cook it defaults to warm when started. Read more

Nice simple rice cooker. Simple stainless steel pot and glass lid system. (no lid on a hinge). Cooks fairly quickly and no issues with residue, weird smells or taste. Only complaint is that it can get messy. How? Sometimes the rice cooker will bubble over and then shoot water out of the vent hole (in the glass lid). Solutions to this have been putting less water while cooking (but then your rice might be dry). Another solution is placing the rice cooker on top of a towel. Read more

I bought the cheapest big one on Amazon because I wasn't sure how much I would use it. I was all wrong. It is awesome! I use it for all types of rice, quinoa and I learned how make spanish rice. We are now creeping up on two months since purchase and it works great. I don't know how it "knows" whether I am making one, two or three cups of dry....but it does. Other times I load it up with onions, rice and a can of diced tomatos. Stir and press one button. Come back in an hour to wonderful Spanish rice. (spices at your discretion) I originally bought a much more expensive Z brand. It worked well too, but was too small. Go for it, you won't regret it. EDIT: I bought the 8 cup dry one. Still in love with it. Read more

We make our dog food so we make a lot of brown rice. I love that I can make up to 8 cups of rice! And the best part is that it cooks well and very fast! Read more

Great capacity and even cooking. The keep-warm function is very handy. The steamer is a perfect bonus. Practical and easy to clean. Read more

Good non stick.....just hope it lasts! Very easy to use. I use it to make rice, but also great for Mac n cheese (u just need to use less water and test the doneness if the macaroni...for me it takes about 10min!) Also use like a slow cooker, but you have to watch because it turns off when the water or broth evaporates and if your food/meat isn't done yet, you need to add more liquid and turn it back on again. Works great for me!! Read more
