 Does brown rice perfectly!, December 4, 2008
I was extremely impressed with this rice cooker, after reviewing dozens and then picking this one. First, it is a very attractive unit, and seems very well built, with a tight-fitting lockdown lid. The inner pot where the rice and water are placed is very easy to clean, and it is non-stick, which initially concerned me, but then I read that the rice doesn't cook anywhere near 450 degrees, which is when non-stick coatings begin to be a problem.
I did the intial cleaning recommended of the unit and accessories, and then followed the chart exactly to make brown rice. One note is that you must use the little plastic cup included instead of a standard measuring cup for the rice and water. Also, the inner pot has measurement lines, but I used the cup to measure -- this was a little confusing in the instructions, but I must have done it the right way according to my results!
I was expecting that there might be some odor when I 1st used the unit, but the only smell was of the rice cooking. Steam comes out of the valve in the top of the unit, but there was no sputtering or undue mess at all. I simply pressed "cook" and after about 30 to 35 minues, the unit beeped and then went into "warm" mode. I left it about 15 minutes and the result was perfectly done brown rice (slightly chewy). Clean up was very quick.
I am very impressed with this product and would recommend to anyone who wants a basic rice cooker that's not fancy, but that gets the job done!
