 Great Rice Cooker | |
| I received this as a gift from my mother and I love it. I wanted a rice cooker for so long, but I didn't want to spend $100 for one. This cooker makes my short California Sushi Rice, Jasmine Rice, and Basmati Rice. I have not tried plain brown or white, but I believe it would work just as well.
It doesn't do that well as a vegetable steamer. Very small basket, could hold maybe one vegetable? | |
 Pre-soaking required | |
| I wanted a simple, small rice cooker, but I didn't realize until I got this home that it required that you soak the rice for 30 minutes before you start the cooker. It's a big waste of time. The one and only pot of rice we made in ours came out undercooked and chewy, too, despite the pre-soaking.
I'm very disappointed. | |
| You get what you pay for! | |
| If ever there was a case for "you get what you pay for, this is it". The cooker lid does not fit snugly and rice/sticky steam lands all over the place. The directions are shakey, at best. They don't even include a spoon for their "non-stick" surface.
Furthermore, no warmer function which leads to soggy rice. Be smart, pay the extra money, and go with the Zogirushi (sp?) brand. I had it before ($69.99) and it was perfect!! Great radios but pass on this appliance. |
