- 2 reviews
Very useful and I live it
I bought it from BigW when it was on special. I use it daily for cooking rice and occasionally to warm my food simultaneously. It is good for the value of money and has been using for almost 1 year.

Great Rice Cooker
I have read the reviews and after using mine I must of got the best one it never spits out water and I’ve never had crusty rice stick to the bottom and I used this dozens of times!
Perfect rice every time!
Purchased mine Nov 2020 and use it at least twice a week if not more!!
Very happy with this product.

Cooks well, but has design faults.
We cook brown rice a few times a week for our dogs. It cooks the rice well, I often taste it.
The lid is either a bad fit though, or perhaps not heavy enough. I've found that it spatters water all over the bench. My workaround for this has been to stretch cling wrap over the cooking bowl, and then place the lid on. Pierce holes through the cling wrap.
Not the best cooker I've had, but certainly not the worst either.

- The sturdy glass lid is the best-made part of this cooker
CONS
- Creates a dry crust of rice on the bottom and lower edges unless you put so much water in that the result is soggy
- The Teflon coating started peeling off within months... into the rice...

Cheap, and messy
Put 2 cups of rice in, with recommended water - when boiling the cooker spat water up to 50cm’s all over bench through hole in lid, Rice juice boiled all down the sides. Very, very messy unfortunately. The rice was fine to eat, a little gluggier than my last rice cooker. So I’m off to buy a different brand.

Functional
This model comes with two functions, one is the steamer which is great for steaming vegetables, eggs and fish. The second function is the rice cooker which is pretty basic and it only takes twenty minutes to cook rice. In order to prevent the water from bubbling out the steamer needs to be placed on top and to use the precise amount of water. The steamer will prevent the water from bubbling out and rice will be cooked to perfection.

Cheap but bad.
Bought at big w and returned twice. Water seems to bubble out and make the area wet. Worse when it slips in to the space between the pot and the cooker the whole thing spoils. Good thing is it comes with 2 year warranty you can try it out. Not worth the hassle though.

Not so good rice cooker.
I bought it in February. I used it only several times during these months. There are some bad issues with this rice cooker. The rice always sticks to the bottom of the rice bowl, making it hard to clean. What's worse, the lid cannot keep water from bubbling up from rice bowl, and water always splatters out and wets the area around the cooker. However, it is still suitable for steaming meals and stewing soup.
Questions & Answers
Can you buy an additional measuring cup? I've lost mine and I would like to buy a new little plastic measuring cup.
How much water do you put in for one cup of rice
There are incremental markings Betty. Want 2 cups of rice? Chuck in 2 of the supplied measuring cup. Fill with water to the 2 cup line. Press the button. Bingo!
What material is the non stick pot, is it Teflon
Yes, it's Teflon.
It's Teflon, and it's poor Teflon. There is recent evidence and research to suggest that ingesting Teflon is bad for you, and the Teflon on our cooker began peeling off early and in large patches.
