Macook Rice Cooker with Rice Steamer (5 Cups, 1Litres), Rice Cooker Small, High-Temperature Protection Mini Rice Cooker- For 1-4 People - Cooking 15-20 Minutes - Non-Stick Coating for Cooker Rice

Product Information

Every rice cooker comes with a couple of key accessories: a measuring cup (don’t get confused, “1 cup” in rice cooker parlance is actually a ¾-cup measure) and a rice paddle. S ince cooking rice usually entails gentle, even heating, we’re not so worried about damaging the nonstick surface with high temperatures, as we would be when using an electric pressure cooker or other multi-cooker for things like searing (we prefer electric pressure cookers with stainless steel pots). Given the chance, the best rice cookers can convince both purists who think they prefer the stovetop method and people who hate single-use appliances.

This Tiger model was remarkably close in performance to the winning Zojirushi, with testers scoring the Zojirushi rice only slightly higher. Although some of the units in the cooking chart are overly complicated (for example, to cook long-grain white rice, it advises adding 1 and 3/16 cups of water), we had no issues navigating the controls. If there’s a one-task kitchen gadget that’s worth finding the cabinet space for, it's our top pick from Zojirushi. If you don’t frequently cook rice for large groups, you (and your kitchen counter) will be better off with a 6-cup cooker.Extras: useful added extras, such as measuring cups, spoons, spatulas and colanders for rinsing, were considered. After each use, wash the inner pot by hand with the soft side of a sponge (in the dishwasher, the pot’s nonstick coating can deteriorate).

The Cuisinart 4-Cup Rice Cooker had the biggest capacity of any mini rice cooker we tested, but it fell short on execution.

A multi-cooker can be a tremendous space-saving machine as it rolls several functions – steaming, slow or pressure cooking and more – into one machine.

Talde grew up making rice for his parents, who worked alternating day-night shifts and expected a fresh pot of rice every day.Its illuminated LED menu includes a fun animation of the machine puffing away during the cooking stage. This model is large enough to cook four servings of rice and can also be used to make couscous, quinoa and other grains. The Cuckoo CRP-P1009 makes the best sushi rice of all the cookers we tested—chewy, distinctive grains that hold together perfectly.
