Nothing fancy - it just works. I can cook the rest of the meal without worrying about adjusting the temperature on a pot of rice. The rice cooker does exactly what I wanted it to do: make rice. It make decent rice (good texture, no scorching) in a relatively short amount of time. Clean-up is a breeze and you can't beat the price.
I don't soak or rinse the rice (but may start). Measure in my water, add measured rice, usually a 2:1 water to rice ratio. Needless to say the instructions disappeared years ago. Making the max amount has always made a little mess.
But its the last 5 years that I have used it frequently. I make brown or wild rice, even an exotic black Canadian rice. First I coat pot with olive oil spray. So, I'm buying a bigger size rice cooker. I've have had an early version of this rice cooker for 15 years.
The first I'd heard of soaking rice was recently.It makes perfect rice for me. I don't use the internal markings on pot.Putting the water in first has eliminated any burning.
it's really simple and easy to use.i've tried both brown rice and quinoa with success. it's saved me a ton of burnt-rice-pan-scrubbing, which i love. so far, so good with this rice cooker. just turn on the switch, go do something else, and about a 25 minutes later, you have some food to eat.
With only 2 to cook for it's the prefect size, quick and very easy to use. GREAT rice every time. Our family has owned 4 rice cookers in 30 years and this cooks the best rice of all of them. The secret is once the cooker shuts off let the cooked rice sit covered for 15 minutes.
Put the rice in, put some water in, and it seems to know what to do. This is one of those cheap little gizmos that actually turns out to be a wonder of science.It cooks rice perfectly every time. How do they do that.Highly recommended.
