ISO rice cooker - recs?
Permalink Closed


I know several of you use them - any suggestions? My Farberware bit the dust yesterday. I never much liked it. It was nonstick inside, which was good, but it burned the bottom of everything.

Bonus points if the cooking container and lid are dishwasher-safe. Also it's just DH and me, not a whole crowd, so I figure smaller is better.

I use a $15 one from Target that's sufficient for me. It makes five cups. I pretty much only use it for jasmine rice (white or brown) and it does a fine job.  My friend has this one and it's really amazing, but also a lot more $:

They got it for less than $100 at the local Asian market.  Unbelievably enough, they beat amazon prices on all the rice cookers, so if you have one near you it might be worth a shot.

I used to have a Panasonic model that I loved, but it was really old and bit the dust. My mom got it at an Asian market - if you can get to one, you should. Their prices are usually the best.

The one I use now is a veggie steamer/rice maker. I've had this one for three years and it's holding up great.

My favorite part is that you can steam veggies and make rice at the same time. And you can throw the parts into the dishwasher.

My mom got mines from the asian store too, and i use it everyday. It cooks rice really well and PERFECTLY. She got this other brand that was a bit cheaper, and it made the rice all mushy. I'm really picky about my rice's consistancy.

It's about $100 for a 3-cup cooker, so definitely on the $$ side for something so small. Oh yeah, it's by Tiger.
