cooks rice perfectly but splatters alot ,only good on less than 2 cups of rice. Also must disconnect the minute it's done or develops crust on the bottom.( must be good for individuals only ( no family portions).Does have a nice compact size.

Works, but has problems. January 19, 2008

This was my first rice cooker. I bought it based on the reviews on this site. The two problems that stood out in other reviews was the spitting steam hole and the possibility of burnt rice at the bottom of the pot. I thought they didn't sound like deal breakers. With a few adjustments I could deal with those problems or fix them.

Well. The spitting steam hole is a major irritation. Especially if you cook brown and black rice. I prefer to not rinse my rice either, so that probably doesn't help with the spitting. I had black spots up the wall, under the cabinets behind the rice cooker, all over the counter and even on the floor. It was a MESS. Stained the wall. I now have a towel that is specifically for covering the cooker.

As for the browned or burnt bottom of the rice, that is just a waste of about a cup of rice. I can live with that and am still tinkering with the water amount. Who knows, maybe i'll get the exact amount of water someday, so i'll have perfect rice.

And yeah, use good rice. I cooked with some old rice and YUCK...gelatinous goo. The new stuff comes out pretty good.

If you can find another cooker that doesn't have the spitting problem and is around the same price, i'd say buy that other one.

rice cooker January 12, 2008
Use this all the time, works great and is easy to use and clean up. The rice does get slightly brown on the bottom every time. I have tried to problem solve to prevent but haven't been able. The rice is not dry or burnt and it never seems to affect the taste.

Fantastic little cooker December 31, 2007

This is my second rice cooker and I strongly recommend it to anyone not quite ready to sink the money into a fuzzy logic model. I would have given it a five star if not for the price (I think this should retail for $39.99) and the initial learning curve.

Let me just say right off the bat that the instruction manual and included measuring cup are virtually useless. Those are the only two flaws.

When I first tried the cooker out I struggled as I was accustomed to using so much water on the stovetop. As others have mentioned this is not the case with a rice cooker. For short grain Japanese style rice I'm fluctuating between 1.10 and 1.15 cups water to 1 cup rice. It is imperative that Japanese or very starchy rice is washed before going into the cooker. For Jasmine and Spanish rice I use 1.25 to 1.30 cups water to 1 cup rice.

I've made plain rice, rice with beans or meat, rice with vegetables, and jambalaya in this. All came out perfectly. I was a touch leery about steaming eggs but they came out perfect (20 minute cook time at least) as did steamed vegetables. I use this cooker to boil water for ramen and somen all the time and have had no troubles but I wouldn't use the cooker as a straight up soup pot.

Cleanup is simple, especially for someone as lazy as I. Everything is nonstick and can be washed off with merely hot water although I use detergent. Recommended, although if you have enough cash on hand to get a fuzzy logic then purchase one of those instead.

What a mess!!! December 31, 2007
1 out of 6 found this review helpful

I bought this on the high reviews and I am returning it because it is a sputtering mess maker! I had a rice cooker i loved but gave it to my college son. Bought this one to replace it and what a mess!!!! It sputters yucky water all over itself and the counter! Not just a little either! Back to the store for it! Reject!!! I loved my Zo bread machine but this is a turkey!
