TOSHIBAMini Rice Cooker, 3 Cups Uncooked Small Rice Cooker, Steamer & Warmer, With Fuzzy Logic And One-Touch Cooking, 24 Hour Delay Timer And Auto Keep Warm Feature, White

I love this rice cooker. I used to have a small 4 cup cooks rice cooker that only had one switch and that was to cook and keep the rice warm.When I started looking around for a new one, I was looking for a step above of what I had but nothing expensive. I came across this rice cooker and decided to give Toshiba a chance.It's nice and compact, it came with 2 different spoons for different purposes. The quality of the rice cooker itself is great, it's sleek and comes with a handle to carry it around. The cord is a bit short but not a deal breaker. It comes with instructions on how to use it's various modes to cook from rice to steam vegetables.Rice cooks perfectly all the time and it has a removable seal to release steam as it's cooking. If you're looking for a good multi function rice cooker to begin with I recommend this one.

This little Toshiba rice cooker makes perfect rice every single time – fluffy, not sticky, and just right. I’ve also used it for oatmeal, and it comes out great too. It has a bunch of cooking functions for different grains and recipes, even cake!, but honestly, I’m not sure I’ll use most of them.What I really like is that it adjusts the cooking time on its own. The display might say 30 minutes, but it never actually takes that long – it just knows when the rice is done and switches to keep warm. If you’re looking for a small, reliable rice cooker that nails rice every time, this is it.Note: if you like that crispy rice your old rice maker made on the bottom while keeping the rice warm........this doesn't do that. The temp and nonstick surface keep that from happening. Slight downside for me.

I'm a Hawaii Asian so have been cooking and eating rice all my life, even before rice cookers existed. Since moving away 16 years ago, I've been cooking it on the stove, then in a small simple rice cooker my son bought me. I finally bit the bullet and bought this one because it's so small and can do so many other things, and I'm glad I did. It's small enough that I can store it in a cupboard until I need it, it's easy to customize based on what I'm making, it can keep rice nicely fresh and warm for a fair amount of time, and it's so easy to clean. And the rice comes out perfect.

This is probably the best rice cooker I have ever owned. White rice takes about 50 min but comes out almost perfect. Very easy to use and clean. Very happy with this -

tested this 3-cup Toshiba against an older Zojirushi Neuro Fuzzy using 145g of Janine Rice rinsed with two changes of water. I used 250g water which matched the recommended physical volume to the lines indicated on both machines. Both machines were started simultaneously and took nearly the same amount of time to complete (54 minutes). The Toshiba rice was satisfactory but still inferior to the Zojirushi. The Toshiba produced a softer, stickier end product. The Zojirushi showed better grain separation with a slightly al dente mouth feel. This is not surprising given that the Zojirushi is triple the price and has long been considered the best home rice cooker on the market. It is worth noting that this comparison is for one cup of rice in a 3-cup Toshiba vs. 5-cup Zojirushi. Also, it's possible that the Toshiba would do better with less water — the manual permits adjusting the water +/- 33% — but I have not done so.Beyond price, there are other reasons to consider the Toshiba. The liner is significantly heavier with a very high quality non-stick coating. I'm replacing the Zojirushi because the liner is heavily scratched and a replacement is out of stock on their website and going for over $120 on the secondary market. Additionally, the Toshiba has settings for cake, hard boiled eggs and slow cooking. It is also available in the smaller size I want (Zojirushi seems to only offer 3-cup in their only Micon line which other testers have found slightly inferior to Neuro Fuzzy). The Toshiba is less bulbous which makes it easier to store and provides an estimated cook time upon starting while the Zojirushi only displays a countdown later in the cooking process. Both keep programmed time when unplugged although the Toshiba does not display the time unless you plug it in. I would prefer the Zojirushi's automatic cord retraction to the removable plug on the Toshiba but the retraction on the Zojirushi has partially failed so that advantage is moot.Overall, the Toshiba should please all but the most discerning rice afficianados and with some adjustments to the water amount it may do even better. It's also worth noting that in third party testing no rice cooker earns perfect marks across all types of rice, but I have not performed those tests myself. I for one am keeping the Toshiba as it provides an excellent value and preferable form factor while producing rice that only barely falls short of the best.

I have used it several times in the first week, and each time the rice was perfect. I used Calrose rice, a short-grain variety. I do think it is better if after rinsing you let the rice soak for an hour. Pretty basic controls, nothing fancy. It is good value for the money and makes more than enough rice for an average family. The cooking bowl is very nice; I like the light color inside. It cleans up very easily. It doesn't make any noise, and no more boiling over rice on the stove! I like that it keeps it warm once it has completed the cooking cycle.
