Customer Reviews

For one or two servings, this works great and fast!5
This is the 2nd of this unit that I have purchased. I seem to be the only rice eater in this family and this unit fits my needs perfectly!

Very little wasted rice in the end (if any) and it's great and fast if you only need to cook one or two servings.

It does make a difference on what type of rice you cook in regards to the amount of water you use. In my case I use soley long grain rice and I almost always use the more expensive BASMATI rice which is much healtier for you.

You can cook the short grain (sticky) rice but it makes a mess on the outside of the unit (makes it sticky) from the steam that comes out of the unit while cooking. Other than that, it works pretty good.

Now for my secret on how to cook ONE SERVING: I use the scoop that comes with it. One scoop of uncooked rice (which is about 3/4 of a cup) wash thoroughly, add 1-1/4 scoop of water (about 1 cup). If you have a power level on your microwave, set it to 7 and cook it for 12-13 min. You may have to experiment with cooking times and power level for your type of microwave.

HINT: If your rice comes out too mushy ... add more time (or reduce the water content), if it comes out stuck together in one big lump .. reduce cooking time (or) add a little more water.

Take it out of the microwave, open the cover(WARNING ..! Gets very hot!), and add some butter (there goes the healthier for you part!) while fluffing up the rice and close the cover for about 2 mins.

That's it, about 15 mins and you have cooked rice!

More than just a rice cooker5
Kk so I didn't buy this from amazon. But I have the exact product and I would like to say this is an efficient rice cooker. Its easy to store and if you don't want to use it as a rice cooker you can use this to make noodles using the microwave and even use this as a bowl itself. Very convenient and makes at least 3-4 cups of rice. Depending on how you like your rice of course.

Love it, love it, love it.
I had this rice cooker for years (all white), and absolutely loved it. It was "accidentally" sold at a moving sale, so I went online to replace it when I settled into my new place. From the picture I wasn't sure if it was the same thing (different color), but thankfully it is! I love the convenience and the rice always comes out perfect. I also cook my quinoa in it and it comes out great.
