When my old rice cooker broke, I started looking for a replacement and came across this one at a bargain price—I jumped on it. The first thing that caught my eye was the design. It looks sleek and modern, and it just so happens to match my kitchen perfectly.
When it arrived, I was pleasantly surprised by how lightweight it was, which is a big plus since we store it in a high cabinet. After giving it a good cleaning, I tried my first batch using the “quick rice” function. I got a bit confused by the instructions for measuring the water—it seemed to suggest using the lines inside the pot instead of the measuring cup. I followed the pot markings, but the rice came out overly wet. Thankfully, after sitting on "warm" mode for about 30 minutes, it dried out enough to eat—still quite moist, though.
For my next batch, I used the measuring cup instead of the pot lines, and the rice came out perfect. Since then, every batch has been spot on.
This cooker also has additional features for making low-calorie and specialty rice for dietary needs, which I haven’t tried yet. But based on how well it handles regular rice, I’m confident those functions work just as reliably.
Overall, I’m very happy with this purchase and would definitely recommend it for anyone looking for a stylish, lightweight, and effective rice cooker.
