I was looking for a small rice maker that wouldn't make a huge mess or burn rice. THIS WAS THE ONE! It was inexpensive, easy as heck to clean, and reading reviews gave me a great tip! Tip 1 - USE THE SPOON TO COVER THE VENT! When cooking, water pops out of the lid vent, which makes a bit of a mess. Nothing too bad, but the more full the pot the more of a mess it makes. Simply place the white spoon over it, which does not BLOCK it, it only keeps the steam and water from shooting up. It rolls back into the pot and keeps rice moist and properly cooked perfect every time. Tip 2 - UNPLUG IT. This has a toggle switch. Press it down to turn it on. In 20 minutes it pops up, done cooking and keeps it on a warmer stage. I've found if you leave it on this it does heat the bottom too long, but that's natural. Keep heating and it's going to get dark on the bottom. I found that if I go out as i hear it pop up, and unplug it, t he rice not only stays warm for long enough, but it never burns. This is not a cook it and leave it all day pot. This i a cook it and use it once done pot. which is great for me. The warmer does indeed keep it warm, but I don't use it. It's pretty perfect and has yet to give me a bad pot of rice, and I wont over make rice now! The cup that comes with it is 180ml or 3/4th c up, so keep that in mind when measuring. I am unsure if this makes 6 "cups" as in what it's sold with or 6 CUPS as in the measurement, as I have yet to check how much is really made. But two of these 180ml cups tends to make a little over 4 CUPS cooked? And t hat works for me and guests. Bonus Tip: Wash your rice and the mess will always be 100 times less to clean up and a better tasting rice :D Read more

I love this rice cooker. I've never had one, so I researched for the features I was interested in dishwasher safe! This has it. It's straightforward -- just make rice or steams vegetables. I made my first batch using the enclosed cup and the amount of water directed. I made the full amount: 3 of the cupfuls, and look at the picture -- the rice was up to the top. I added a bit of salt, and that's it. The rice didn't stick to the bottom, and the cooker shut off when the rice had finished cooking. It was delicious and, oh, so easy. I rinsed my rice first to get rid of that milky starch. Others had mentioned that the enclosed cup isn't a full (US) sized cup -- they are correct. It is a Japanese cup size. Others had mentioned using the enclosed spoon to partially cover the vent to prevent the steam from spraying all over -- which I did and will continue to do so. When it came time to clean, it was super easy to hand wash -- maybe next time I'll put it in the dishwasher, but I didn't have to this time. Read more
