Oster DiamondForce 6 Cup Nonstick Electric Rice Cooker - Black

A: Yes, the capacity of uncooked rice is 3-cup. When you cook those 3-cup of uncooked rice, it will become 6-cup of cooked rice.

A: It's not the company's fault that so many of you lack common sense.

A: 3 cups rice + 3 cups water = 6 cups. Voila!

A: Clairfication: What the box actually says is "6 cup capacity". So if you add 6 cups of uncooked rice, then you would be at capacity and would have no room for the water!

A: If you cook at all, you should know basics. Pasta and rice doubles in yield, from raw to cooked. This is NOT false advertisement. You just made a mistake, a common one. What you do with the cooker is your business, but your claim is false. You should pay attention.

A: The box is very misleading. I can’t believe you guys haven’t done anything to fix it. Not everyone is aware that 3 cups of uncooked rice, becomes 6 cups of cooked rice. This is “FALSE ADVERTISEMENT”.... very DISAPPOINTED

A: Rice doubles in size when cooked. So 3 cups of raw (uncooked) rice equals to 6 cups of COOKED rice. It is not misleading, read the description on the box. Also, most rice cookers use the same description of cooked rice quantities. Some brands will list both uncooked and cooked measurements.

A: The description literally says it holds 3 cups of UNCOOKED rice, 6 cooked.

A: The measuring cup that is included is a "rice cooker" measuring cup, not a standard U.S. measuring cup, so the measurements work a little differently. One rice cup of the Oster® measuring cup included with this model is equal to 5.33 oz. of uncooked rice. The rice cooker is capable of cooking up to 3 full "rice cooker" Oster® measuring cups of uncooked rice, or 6 (5.33oz) Oster® cups of cooked rice. Hope this helps!

A: It says 6 cups i think that is very misleading when you can only cook 3 cups. Need to fix this because i only bought it thinking i can cook 6 cups of regular rice an this pot cant.

A: Very misleading ..It's not for 6 cups of uncooked rice.. ..The rice cooker is too small.. It's going back.. I don't want it..

A: The cooker knows when the rice has absorbed the water because the temperature will change. When it senses the temperature change, it switches to warm mode.

A: I don't know how it knows, but it knows. I cook both white and brown rice in exactly the same way and the cooker "knows" to go longer for the brown rice.

A: Hi there! Thanks for reaching out. The rice cooker will be able to gauge when your rice has finished cooking depending on type of rice you are using. For best results, do not open the unit immediately after the cooking cycle has completed. The rice should be allowed to settle for several minutes before serving.

A: No. The duracermic verison is... ceramic. The DiamondForce version is teflon (with sparkly diamond dust added). Other than the nonstick coating, they are identical.

A: Thank you for contacting Oster®. We appreciate your interest with our product. We understand that you are inquiring if the Oster® DiamondForce 6 Cup Nonstick Electric Rice is the same with Duraceramic version. No worries, we're happy to assist you. Please be advised that the DiamondForce is different from Duraceramic. The DiamondForce is a 2 Layer, Diamond Particle infused Nonstick Coating. This is not a ceramic coating. The diamond-infused coating is more wear-resistant than conventional non-stick coatings and will not chip or crack as long as you follow directions for the proper use and care. It also has a great heat conductor that diamond speeds heat transfer across the cooking surface, getting the pan to the desired temperature quickly. This means you can use a lower heat setting than you would with less heat-conductive cookware, helping you lower high energy bills. While the DuraCeramic is completely non-reactive, and contains no chemical additives. There's nothing to leach into your food, so your cookware is safe. Since you can use less oil than with other cookware, you can cheerfully sauté your food rather than steaming or boiling it, which can decrease the nutritive content. Hope this would help. Have a great day!

A: Thank you for reaching out to Oster®. We value your continued support of our products and we are glad to answer your inquiry. The 10-15 minutes is on the warm setting. After cooking, the keep warm indicator light will illuminate. It is important to let the rice stand for 10-15 minutes of steaming without removing the lid. We hope this helps. Have a good day!

A: The warm setting. After cooking it automatically flips to warm. At this point, the cook setting becomes disabled until the unit cools down.

A: No. Just an on button. The cooker seneses when the water has been absorbed by the rice (based on temperature) then kicks in to "keep warm" mode. You manually shut the unit off by unplugging it.

A: Thank you for contacting the Oster® Brand. We appreciate your interest in our product and we are glad to answer your inquiry. Different types of rice can have different water ratios. However, for the settings, there’s only 1 setting on this model unit. You need to plug the cord into a 120-volt AC electrical outlet. Switch the rice cooker ON by pushing the button down. You may use this as a reference with the type of Rice: Cups of Water Ratios: Oriental/Soft Rice: 2 Cups of Water, 1 Cup of Rice Basmati/Indian Firm Rice: 1.5 Cups of Water, 1 Cup of Rice Brown Rice Varieties: 2 Cups & 2 Tablespoons Water, 1 Cup Rice Hope this information is useful. Have a great day!

A: The bottom of the cooker says 350 watts (which corresponds with the product description).

A: Thank you for contacting the Oster® Brand. We appreciate your interest in our product and we are glad to answer your question. This Oster® DiamondForce™ Nonstick 6-Cup Electric Rice Cooker has 700 watts. We hope this information is useful. Have a great day!

A: The inner pot won't sit flush when it's empty. That's normal. When you add the ingredients (rice and water) the added weight should make it sit flush.

A: Thank you for contacting the Oster® Brand. We appreciate your time and effort for bringing this to our attention. We are sorry to hear that your rice cooker’s inner pot doesn’t seem to sit or be in direct contact with your heating base. No worries, we are here to help. Set the inner pot into the rice cooker. Make sure that the inner pot is in direct contact with the heating base by turning it slightly from left to right until it properly fits onto the heating base. Also, take note that you have to make sure the outside of the inner pot is completely dry before placing onto the heating plate. If the heating base is still not in direct contact with the inner pot after checking and the rice is not cooking or the rice cooker is not working, take note that our rice cookers have a year limited warranty. If you have any questions regarding the warranty or would like to obtain warranty service, please contact us so we can determine the best resolution. Have a great day!

A: Thank you for reaching out to Oster® and we're so sorry for the confusion. The inner pot, lid, rice ladle and measuring cup are not dishwasher safe. Have a great day!

A: The box it comes in says "DISHWASHER SAFE REMOVABLE POT". And the Oster website says "DISHWASHER-SAFE POT: Removable, nonstick, dishwasher-safe inner pot". Regarding the steamer basket, lid and measuring cup, Oster doesn't specify. So there you go!

A: The steaming tray is aluminum with plastic handles. The removable pot is also made of aluminum with a PTFE (aka teflon) coating along with the diamond particles. It does NOT have a DuraCeramic coating... that was the discontinued model.

A: Thank you for contacting Oster®! Good question. The steaming tray of our Oster DiamondForce Nonstick 6-Cup Electric Rice Cooker is made of aluminum and the rice pot has a DuraCeramic non-stick ceramic coating that is infused with titanium pieces.
