Very good multi use kitchen item..

I bought this following a recommendation from someone - I haven't owned a rice cooker before but wanted something I could use for other things, not just rice. This is a huge upgrade from my microwave rice cooker! I cook brown rice on the stove but have now been using this and it cooks it perfectly. Short grain rice for sushi is perfect, and I've also tried Thai sticky rice - another success. The inner pot is huge and I've also been trying one pot dishes, such as rice cooker bibimbap and tofu rice bowls, and the steamer worked well for steamed dumplings, however I'm still trying to work out the timing (steaming with nothing in for 5 minutes to warm it up first seems to do the trick for me). I use this most days and I can't imagine life without it now!

I’ve had almost every brand of these cookers in the last few years. They’re all pretty great. This one is very well made with good quality materials. Unlike some it doesn’t have a rear tray for steam water so you get more steam from the top. It has influenced where I sited mine. Avoid placing under worktops if you’re boiling something. Also unlike some it does not have heat-proof plastic handles to aid getting the bowl out, which can be a nuisance with a full bowl. Bigger gripe is that the text is very hard to read to select the menu items. I realise they’re trying to cram in many functions but I think it would be better to number programs and print the legend on the machine itself. Who can read teeny type on an LED? Other than that, it’s excellent. The food cooks well with no interference from the bad cook! Anything from scrambled eggs to roast chicken comes out perfectly. I cook in ours almost exclusively and will probably buy another - although, top tip, you can buy additional bowls from the manufacturer’s web site so you can do main and pudding without washing up in between. One feature to praise is that this cooker properly browns and crisps food. I’ve had others that were not hot enough to fry or even sauté properly. I recommend this cooker.

Brilliant cooker bought to replace my ninja foodie

Helping everyday, great for cooking asian soups, rice, food and desserts!!

I bought this 2 years ago. I can say it’s very good quality and helps me cook flexibly. I do think it’s a bit slow with heating and might take more time compared to regular cooking on the stove. Overall, I think it’s a very good kitchen addition. I recommend it
