 Pretty good but not perfect May 16, 2008
Stephanie Sullivan (Boston, MA USA)
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).
 Love the Rice Cooker/Vegetable Steamer May 15, 2008
juice (Arizona)
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.
 Make crunchy rice!!!!!! April 24, 2008

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!!!!!!!
 No gunk! April 6, 2008

The only noticeable thing about this cooker is that it leaves no gunk.
But be warned, it leaves a strong plastic + starch smell that some people may not like.
Cooks Pasta, too! March 28, 2008

I use this to cook pasta in the microwave in 10 minutes. No more boiling a big pot of water on the stove. 2 cups pasta and 2 1/2 cups water (salt optional) in cooker--without the basket. Cook on high for 10 minutes uncovered--stir midway.
Remove from microwave, lock on lid with vents closed for 2 mins., drain.
Works great.
