Very nice little rice maker

 

This is one of the cheaper rice makers but does a good job with regular rice, short grain sticky rice, and it claims to work with whole-grain although I've never tried that yet. Not as big as I thought it would be but still very nice for the price.

Perfect for healthy lunch

 

Due to some health issues I have been told to eat a diet of rice and steamed veggies. This was the perfect purchase for work. I put lunch in and press cook. 30 minutes later I have a healthy and perfectly cooked meal. I am so pleased with the...

Can't complain given the price!

 

This is inexpensive and handy so it's well worth the money I spent. It doesn't make the quality of rice as one would get from indirect cooking, but those cookers are more expensive and less attractive. It's nice to be able to make rice easily and not...

Easy to use; 1-touch operation ; Small ; Not ugly ; Lightweight ; Non-stick rice bowl ; Haven't had it boil over or fail to cook properly, yet

Rice is not as high quality as indirect heating ; Rice left on "warm" gets a bit crisp on the outside after a while

Black & Decker 3 Cups Uncooked Yields 6 Cups Cooked, Rice Cooker

 

Rice makers are more or less the same these days, so I wouldn't worry too much about specific brands. As a college student it's a great staple food for meals, rice is dirt cheap, and can easily be improved by a variety of other foods.

Easy to clean ; Comes with lots of extras for those who don't have em (Scoop, measuring cup, steamer, etc) ; Never had any problems with it boiling over ; Owned it for a year and a half and it's still going strong

Teflon coating, so it's starting to get scratched up after 18 months of usage. I'll have to replace it sooner or later. Not really a con but a heads up for those unused to teflon; you can extend its life by not using metal utensils to scrape rice out...

Great product and great gift!

 

Have been using this for many months, liked it so much I bought one for a family member for the holidays. I have cooked all forms of rice, and it also can cook any kind of rice packets that come with seasoning. Basically anything that is cooked withe...

Easy to use, lightweight, idiot-proof rice

Great cheap rice cooker

 

I used to use an extremely cheap no brand model that used bo stick a layer of rice to the bottom, was a pain to clean, and in general was a hassle to work with. This one is idiot proof and aside from the slight mess if any rice water spouts out of the...

Easy to clean, comes with everything you need to make and serve rice, and cooks almost completely evenly

Slight bit of burning on the bottom, not enough manual control over rice, cover gets a bit messy and may have a small bit of mess around the cleaner if you don't wash the rice repeatedly (removing most of the nutrients I might add)

perfect for steel cut oat meal

 

I got a lower price locally.

I have never used this for rice but it makes great steel cut oatmeal with a ration of 1 (oatmeal) to 4 (water)

Me for not using a rice cooker earlier
