I replaced a rice cooker I had for over 10 years, that worked great until it cracked. After trying a different brand that overflowed into my Microwave and made a mess, I tried the Joseph Joseph rice cooker. It worked perfectly. I followed the directions included, adjusted to my Microwave's wattage and perfect rice. Also really easy to clean. I recommend this product. Read more

This rice cooker is quicker, easier, and does a better job than my tradisional rice steamer!.. I was pleasantly surprised at how well it worked. 2-cups of rinsed Jasmine rice, 3-1/2 cups of water, 15-minutes in the microwave, and I have 4- cups of perfectly cooked rice. Much better rice than my Oster electric rice cooker. It's also quick and easy to clean when you're done. The only thing I would change is it needs some type of small plastic loop on the top lid to open it after cooking. There's just a small nub in the middle which is hard to grab when it's hot. I had to stick a knife tip in a vent slot to pull it open. Not a big deal though. Read more

This pot gets a lot of things right in cooking rice in a microwave. It mostly does contain the steam and overflow but you'll likely have to wipe down excess water in the microwave but it won't be the starchy mess you'd get with a bowl and makeshift lid. The paddle integrated into the lid is a nice feature to fluff the rice and serve it. The drain basket which serves as the inner pot is genius. This pot will be very convenient and will save you money because instant rice or the individual cooked rice bowls from Minute Rice are much more expensive than a bag of any variety of rice. Saves time, less messy, saves money, so this is a recommended purchase for your kitchen meal prep gear. Read more

I can’t give it a five because whileI like the rice maker it me three times to get the Rice perfect the way it was supposed to be because no instructions came to explain how to use the rice maker. But with trial and error, I got it right. Read more

This is praise for the outstanding design...good-looking, super functional and well thought out. The cooking basket is used to rinse the rice, that being done, just place in its pot, put on the lid, and secure with the piece that also serves as the rice spatula. Easy peasy. Perfect rice in about 10 minutes! Read more

I wash the rice and then fill pot to just under the top. No measuring. Well, that was easy. The excess water might remove some of the flavor, but it is the ONLY way to remove most of the arsenic natural to rice. Microwave for 15 minutes for short to 25 minutes for long whole grain rice (with any flavoring), drain, and cook for another 2 (short) to 5 (long) minutes to dry. No baby-sitting a pot. No waiting 45 minutes for a rice cooker. I'm eating more rice due to the increased convenience. Integrated colander insert makes draining seamless. Super easy to wash. Dishwasher safe. A third less on Black Friday. Bought a second one. Read more

Love love love this awesome M-Cuisine microwave rice cooker by Joseph Joseph. I have been a fan of JJ's product design for a long time and have owned a few of their products. But this little microwave rice cooker was a curiosity buy. Saw it on Amazon and thought...This could be neat if it works. Being Chinese, cooking rice in a microwave is not a new concept. In Asia, there's plenty of single serving microwave rice packages sold in every grocery store. But when I saw this on my Amazon suggestions, I was instantly intrigued. The M-Cuisine microwave rice cooker worked perfectly. I really appreciate the attention to details with this product design. How this work: -measure the amount of rice desire for your cooking with the provided measuring cup per the cooking instruction fold out. -wash your rice with the inner black pot which also serves as a strainer so you can wash your rice and then put it back into the main pot. The inner strainer pot also has a folding handle that folds down perfectly in place. -empty all water from the inner pot strainer. Leave the cleaned wet rice inside the inner pot. -add water (refer to the ratio of water to rice portion formula in cooking instruction) -place inner pot/strainer into the larger white pot. -place the cover over the main white pot. -place the spatula over the cover, align and twist the spatula clockwise into the open slotted area of the main pot. The spatula also helps defuse the steam from shooting upward inside the microwave. The hole for the steam on the cover is aligned directly under the spatula which helps redirect the pressure of the steam sideways (horizontally vs vertically). This helps keeps the inside of the microwave nice and clean...Genius! -place pot inside microwave. -microwave cooking time for 1 cup of rice is 15 mins. Please note, the pot is extremely hot after cooking so make sure to use proper heat-resistant oven mitts. Also, the steam during the cooking process will create a very thin white film over your cover (looks a bit like a thin layer of dried white elmers glue on your hand). At first glance, it will look like your cover has been ruined from the heat of the microwave. But don't panic. This is normal thanks to the genius placement of the spatula. You can easily clean this off with a damp towel and the cover will look beautiful again. This is a fantastic and must have cookware for any kitchen. You don't really need one if you have a rice cooker, but it is so convenient to cook rice with the M-Cuisine microwave rice cooker. This really is a game changer. Everything you need is all contained into one unit. I really appreciate that. Another plus having this microwave rice cooker is you can bring this over to a friends place who doesn't have a rice cooker. With this little guy, you can have freshly cooked rice for 2-3 guests in 15 mins. Easy peasy. This really is a game changer. You don't realize you need one until you have one. Then you can't live without one. Read more
