Robyn,
The direction book will tell you how much water and what setting to put your different types of rice at. Plus you can use it as a steamer. I make big batches of rice, then freeze dinner size portions to pull out as needed.

I need a rice cooker I think, it’s a hit or miss on the stove most of the time. I have a microwave one also, but again sometimes I’ve had problems with that too. The biggest problem is that I use different types of rice I think.

Andrea,

If you follow the directions, it won’t burn and be crusty, I promise. It boils, doesn’t steam, but it has a sensor that puts it on warm at a certain point. I even make rice in big batches and freeze for later because it does such a great job.
Natasha – I always ask for things I need in the kitchen. I still have more to recommend to the readers, but I like useful stuff.

Linette – have you ever tried steel cut oats?

I love, love, love my rice cooker. I got the same model you have above to review this summer, and I’ve used it to cook tons of different things (even rice once or twice, ha).

Does the rice cooker steam the rice or boil? I tried a really cheap small one before and it just boiled the rice leaving it a little bit burnt and crispy on the bottom. Since then I’ve just stuck with the pot method. I would love to find one that steamed the rice or at least cooked it properly. :p
