Customer Reviews

Works great4
I have only used mine to make popcorn. The only disappointment is that there were no instructions on making popcorn with it. There was plenty of info on rice and pasta, but none for popcorn.

Excellent for Quick Rice Making5
No spills, not messy. Easy to wash. Cooks rice better than a electric rice cooker. There are no burns and the entire rice is cooked properly. I would suggest that you cook it for 16-17 min. in the microwave. Highly recommended. Not tried popcorn as yet. Tried vegetables and pasta and they get cooked well as well.

Good for rice; for pasta not so much4
Rice comes out with every grain separate and cooked just right with very little tweaking and in less than 1/2 the time of stove-top cooking. Pasta however is a different story. I used less pasta and less water than their sample proportions, but the water bubbled up and out and flooded the microwave . I poured some water out, but it did the same thing again. There was really very little water in it. Also the pasta sticks together a little because you never get to mix it. However the pasta can be separated with a fork when done and it did cook to just the right degree of tenderness, albeit in the same time as stove-top. I think I'll try it one more time, with a plate underneath, because it does not heat up the kitchen as much as cooking on the stove in a hot Arizona summer. The other thing that bothered me is that there is no contact information for the manufacturer, and on their website, which I found only through Google, they don't list this product or allow for contact. But, hey, it's only $11.
