 Does not work June 24, 2008
Elizabeth E. Alter
I bought this based on all of the good reviews it had on Amazon. I tried it several times,(following the directions exactly) and the cooker would not even come close to fully cooking the rice. I would not recommend this to anyone.

Maybe it's good for white rice. I don't know. Doesn't work for brown rice.
 Pretty good but not perfect May 16, 2008

I think it's pretty good but not perfect. The construction of the lid seems overly complex to me. It makes fine rice, but I'd like to see the lid construction simplified.
It does make good rice for me. It took a little experimentation to get it right with my microwave (they all seem a little different).

Well, it's been a month and I finally made some brown rice.... and my favorite, steamed broccoli. The rice (TJs Brown Basmati) I cooked for 20 minutes at 50% power level and followed instructions on bag which said 2 Cups water, 1 Cup rice. After 20 minutes, there was still water left and rice was still hard so I cooked for an additional 12 minutes at 50% level and that did the trick. It was perfect... I did let it sit for a few minutes and it fluffed up beautifully. As for the broccoli, I followed instructions 3-4 minutes on high, not vented... then let it sit closed for an additional 3-4 minutes, so I did 3 and 3, because I like it just barely softened and very green. Not sure I saved much time (15 mins total), but I didn't have to watch either of these. I was doing other things while they cooked away. Maybe I'll buy another so I can do them sort of simultaneously, as this is a favorite meal. A great value too.

This is great if you like crunchy rice.
I followed the instructions to the T and the rice came out crunchy and uncooked.....terrible.
Sooooo....I had to experiment.......it says 1 1/2 cups of water to 1 cup of rice......I actually NEEDED to use 2 - 1 ratio.
It says to micro at half power for 11 minutes.......WRONG!!!!
I had to micro at full for about 16 minutes to make edible rice.
Perhaps I'll need a new microwave next!!!!!!!
