 Great Cooker, Great Price! September 12, 2007

I searched all over for a great rice cooker, as I'm a newbie at this. I needed a good price, since I wasn't sure how well I'd catch on, and am not a gourmet. This worked out SO perfectly--I LOVE the non stick insides. It came with the paddle, but no steamer, but I wanted this for rice and I think you can buy the steamer if you need it, separately. The only things I would advise are when you make rice (I've only ever made full pots) use 2.5 cups of rice, but fill the water line to the 3 cup line after putting the rice in the pot, and RINSE RINSE RINSE the rice before cooking, no exception. These 2 things will give you perfect rice in about 30 minutes or so. It's a little less rice output than advertised, but it doesn't take long and again, it comes out perfectly. Great, great item!!

This thing is a dream come true! It makes perfect rice every time!. The non-stick coating must be better than the older, larger models from what I have read in their reviews. Perfect for serving 1 to four. Far better than its rival. Rice has NEVER burned in over a year of constant use.
Cons: Doesn't really make 3.3 cups of uncooked rice. 2.3 is a better estimate. No steamer basket or "keep warm" function. The rice, does, however, stay nicely warm for up to two hours passively.

 READ THIS BEFORE YOU EVEN THINK OF BUYING! August 12, 2006

Ok, I purchased this rice cooker expecting the same level of quality that has made panasonic so popular. And I must say, I am SO disappointed.
Pro:
- great non-stick, none of your dishes will stick to the pan and washing is a breeze
Cons:
- the lid has no hole on top. Instead, the design is such that the whole lid wobbles off the pan when the pressure is too high, SPILLING the contents all over the counter. I have had to clean my counter (and all the stuff on it) numerous times, cursing the makers of this rice cooker.
-there is a gap between the pan and the body. So when the spillage mentioned above happens, it will leave a sticky coating on the interior of the cooker itself.
- again, due to the absence of a hole on top, the residue collects, not around a nice little spot, but around the ENTIRE lid.
Summing up, the only reason to buy this cooker would be the pan. And after your first use, you will realize that that is simply not good enough of a reason.

The first time I used this it boiled over a little bit. But the rice was perfect and fluffy! The bottom didn't burn at all and it is really easy to store. Even though it didn't have a "warm" feature, it kept the rice perfect for an hour after cooking.
