Product Information

For example, they mention it's great if it' s just the two of you, but it''s the perfect size for a family of three.

It was easy to clean, made very fluffy rice, and emitted a loud beep to let us know when it was done cooking (then immediately moved to the Keep Warm setting). Cheap – but also good value – small and straightforward to use, this is ideal for single- or two-person households, students and holiday homes. We looked for sturdy machines that were easy to use and easy to clean, and that could handle cooking both large and small quantities of rice.None of the machines had a setting for basmati (or long-grain rice, which is too delicate for most rice cookers), so we selected the white or mixed rice setting depending on the instructions in the manual. We found that this rice cooker runs far too hot, as it scorched the bottom of each batch of rice we cooked in it, and the keep warm setting caused the rice to yellow in a matter of minutes. If you don’t frequently cook rice for large groups, you (and your kitchen counter) will be better off with a 6-cup cooker.

It’s not uncommon for the machines to take between one and two hours, depending on the amount of rice.If we mismeasured the rice-to-water ratio even slightly, the grains congealed together in a gelled lattice of mush. Our timers regularly recorded shorter cook times than what the display indicated, usually by a few minutes. However, the lid jerks open so violently that it can knock itself or other things off the counter, and it also does not display the countdown from start to finish. We talked to chefs across cuisines, including Dale Talde, author of Asian-American: Proudly Inauthentic Recipes from the Philippines to Brooklyn.

Short-grain rice is nubby and almost spherical, medium-grain rice is two to three times as long as it is wide, and long-grain rice is three to five times as long as it is wide. Whether it's preparing delicious meals and beverages effortlessly for a large family, or simple meals for a single life, you can count on the brand that has spent over 35 years creating products with you in mind.Though using one is rarely faster than cooking rice in a pot over the stove—stovetop-cooking white rice takes around 18 minutes, compared with at least 30 minutes in a cooker—the results are usually worth the wait.
