I was thrilled to find this cute little rice cooker. I needed something more compact for my small kitchen. Today I fired it up for the first time and found that it spat starch and water through the vent all over the front of my cupboard and the cabinet. My lunky old cooker never did anything like that. So I will sadly pull my old cooker out of the garage sale pile and return this one to TARGET.

I read the reviews. I nearly didn't buy it. I didn't want a mess. But in the store, it was the only one that wasn't either huge or complex. So, I bought it, despite the warnings.

THERE WAS NO MESS. Honestly - the steam hole steams, but didn't make a mess.

The rice was great.

I'll hope it keeps working. My last rice cooker lasted 10 years before the teflon disintegrated. I am hopeful, though my growing family might eat more than this in a sitting before then!

I purchased this and followed the enclosed instructions exactly to make brown rice. Instead of steaming, the water in the rice boiled, and hot water splattered all over my counter. The instructions say the cooker will switch to warm automatically when the rice is done, but it kept cooking and began to burn. The only saving grace is that the rice pot really is non-stick, so I was able to clean the burned rice from the bottom of the pot pretty easily. I had a Black and Decker steamer previously - it worked much, much better. I was trying to get a smaller appliance, but I ended up with something awful.

Awesome little cooker. Only downfall, the instructions are kinda lame. They refer to the measuring cup (included) as a "3/4" cup...However, if you fill the rice to the the top, it's really a 1 cup measuring. The instructions could be revised a little bit and more detailed.
Anyways, I've only used the cooker once so far and my rice came out better than ever; Just like the top quality you get from a restuarant (which is amazing because my rice is the Hy-Top Winco brand)...very cheap!
I will recommend to anyone!!!

I'm enjoying the first rice meal from this cooker while writing this review. It's small, it's red and it's cute. Just fits my little kitchen in my apartment. If you know how to cook rice, this will work for you. If you never have a rice cooker or never cook rice before, read instruction carefully. It said 6-cup doesn't mean 6 cups of rice. It means the maximum capacity is 3 cups of rice and 3 cups of water. So for those with a family more than 1 or 2, you might need to consider a larger cooker, but for a single or couple who do not eat rice much as main dish, this is perfect.

I can't believe so many people are having problems with this rice cooker. I've never once had any of the issues that these other people are complaining of. Maybe they aren't following the directions properly? You have to use the little cup provided to get the proper measurements.

Well, I love this thing and use it about 3 nights a week if not more. My husband and I eat quite a bit of rice, probably because this little guy makes it so darn well.

You can't put the pot in the dishwasher, but all the other pieces you can. The rice paddle (server), the cup and the steam basket (which also works like a charm!) I spray the pot down with pam before making any rice since the stuff is so sticky once cooked.

The directions are so simple too: With white rice, I put in 3 cupsful (using the cup provided) and then fill the pot with water up to the 3 line. It's not 3 cupsful of water, it's to the 3 line marked on the inside of the pot. If you make 2 cupsful of rice, then you fill with water to the 2 line. Push the button and in about 20 minutes you have wonderful and tasty rice! Perfect every time!!

I use this rice cooker all the time! The rice always tastes wonderful. It is so easy to use when you don't have a lot of time. You just add equal rice to equal water, cook and when it is done you set the timer for 10 minutes and your rice is done! I would recommend this for anyone who loves rice! It also makes good steamed vegetables!

I cannot complain about how this rice cooker makes rice... cuz it works fine IF I only do 1 cup dry rice at a time. It says it can accomodate up to 3 cups of dry rice - hence 6 cups of water. BUT when I do that it spits water thru the lid hole and out the sides - so much that I put it on a cookie sheet and just have to clean the whole counter afterwards. We will keep it for now until we find a better one. Just be aware of that spitting problem...

This machine makes a huge mess and the auto cooker that is suppose to switch to keep the rice warm is useless. I recommend anyone that wants a rice cooker to buy one that has a seal lid top to avoid the mess that this thing creates.
