Customer Reviews
No more messy spills to clean up!5
After trying & returning several microwave rice cookers I decided to give this one a try because of the great price and Nordic Ware's reputation. You MUST follow Nordic Wares instructions for cooking rice. Using any other recipes/directions, will result in your rice being soggy & the water not absorbing. The one noticible difference between the other cookers I tried and this one is that I didn't have to clean my microwave after using this rice cooker. NO SPILLS & OVERFLOWS! I just ordered a second cooker to place in storage just in case this model is discontinued. GREAT PRODUCT AT A GREAT PRICE!
Loooovvvee it, perfect for a college student5
Left home, missed the convenience of a REAL electric rice cooker, but this is the SAME THING!
Pros: Cooks rice without me having to worry about burning it on a stove. It's just the same as a rice cooker...you measure rice, water, put it in the microwave and forget about it. I guess the only extra steps you do have to worry about is that when it's done, you do have to go close the steamer lid and wait a few more minutes.
Cons: Virtually non-existent...but I must list them anyway. It is slightly a pain to clean the entire thing when I'm done compared to an electronic cooker. The lid comes apart in two pieces and I have to clean that too. (I don't have a dishwasher so that's why I mentioned this). For some reason, my little veggie bowl does not look like the one in the picture. I haven't used it for veggies or pasta yet but mine is shaped more like a bowl. When you first take it out of the microwave, there will be some water settling on the top and might get it on yourself. It may scald you but...not badly since it's just a little.
My advice: can get a little soggy but you just gotta adjust and use less water the next time. All microwaves are different. The instructions calls for 1 cup of rice per 1 1/2 cup of water for 10-12 minutes. I use 2 cups of rice per 2 1/2 cups of water for 12 minutes and I'm still finding it a lil soggy but it gets better every time.
I now own two of these!5
I got spoiled to good rice while I was living in Japan. This cooker makes good rice if you follow the directions and then adjust the timing on your microwave to match your style of rice. It's also very easy to clean up--the rice "gunk" doesn't stick to it. The cooker works wonderfully, and when I had a chance to buy a second unit at a very reasonable price, I jumped at it. Very good product; it does exactly what it's supposed to.
