Microwave Rice Steamer Cooker BPA Free 2.6L Red

I bought one a few years ago and love it so much that I bought this one for my RV. Once you dial in your rice-preferred consistency, it will never change. Mine is two cups of water, one cup of rice, and ten minutes - easy and done!

I had low expectations for this product. However, I was happily surprised at how well the rice turned out. Super easy to use.

Cab be tricky at first to assemble with rice to cook

Love the rice maker.You have to be exact on the amount of rice and water or it will explode on the microwave. You can only make up to 1 cup of rice and 2 cups of water ratio. That is the max. My first time the rice was dry so 2nd time I added 2.5 cups of water to my 1 cup of rice and I ended up with water spill all over the microwave. That is the only problem for me because my rice needs extra water and for that I have to lower the amount of rice to compensate for the max of 2 cups of water. But overall it is great. Love using it.Don't forget to add salt and your seasoning prior to microwaving (because we forget all the time). Once it is on the microwave you can't get it out.You can technically use the container to store leftover rice on the fridge but the vents on the top will dry the rice overnight.Compared to a electric rice cooker: This one can break if you drop the plastic container. But it is very light and easier to store away. It also cook faster but limit the amount of rice you can make.

We have had one of these cookers for several years. It cooks the rice quickly and easily. It cleans up well and is long lasting. I will make a little a lot of rice depending on how much cooked rice you want. A batch big enough for two people (1 cup of uncooked rice + 2 cups of water =+ a dab of oil + salt to taste) is done after 15 minutes in the microwave.This one was a gift to my sister-in-law who fell in love with ours during a visit.

I tried this for the first time this evening with some brown rice. I followed the very sparse directions just adding additional water as I'd normally do when cooking brown rice on the stove top. Since there were no directions to speak of, I went online to determine the amount of time to cook the rice. That varied from 15 to 50 minutes. I decided to try 15 minutes. Checked the rice at 15 minutes, not done so tried another 15. At about 10 minutes I smelled something burning and checked the rice. Not only was it burned to a crisp but the rice cooker had melted on the bottom; I had to pry it off the glass turntable tray. The whole mess went into the garbage and I then had to air out the house to get the burnt smell out. Not impressed. Better directions would have helped immensely. A waste of my time and money.

This thing not only makes perfect rice it also makes perfect tortellini, spaghetti, rigatoni, anything pasta

I have used similar brands to do the same thing. After microwaving many times, the plastic starts to give out, so it needs to be replaced. This particular brand will boil over very easily if you cook more than one cup of rice.
