Proctor Silex Rice Cooker & Food Steamer, 10 Cups Cooked (5 Cups Uncooked), Includes Steam and Rinsing Basket, White (37533G)

This one keeps it simple and doesn't try to improve upon mankind's greatest invention, which we know now to be rice cooker. I had another rice cooker for a few years that was automatic and had quite a few functions. But it took 40 minutes to prepare simple white rice and you had to be very precise with water level or you would not get very good rice. I cannot tolerate that kind of dishonorable behavior when it comes to rice. It was also harder to clean and I never really used any of the other functions anyway.So, when I was looking for a new one, I wanted it to be very basic and something I could count on. Rice is not something you want to mess with unless you want to displease the stomach lord. This one does the job perfectly. Shiny, crisp, flaky grains of rice is ready in 20 minutes. The water proportion doesn't matter as much. Good rice absorbs a lot of water and the rest goes out as steam, so too much water is usually not a problem with basic cookers. Unless, you get a fancy one that has lid with no holes. If you love rice (as one should), buy this, or any of the many simple cheap rice cookers like this. This is the easiest, quickest and most hassle free way to get the most majestic food on planet. I would strongly recommend not to go for fancy expensive ones. This is one of those cases where sophistication is unnecessary and simple means better. I eat rice everyday and almost everybody I know who eat it everyday tend to have simple rice-cookers. Hope this review helps.

I was looking for a small rice maker that wouldn't make a huge mess or burn rice. THIS WAS THE ONE! It was inexpensive, easy as heck to clean, and reading reviews gave me a great tip!Tip 1 - USE THE SPOON TO COVER THE VENT! When cooking, water pops out of the lid vent, which makes a bit of a mess. Nothing too bad, but the more full the pot the more of a mess it makes. Simply place the white spoon over it, which does not BLOCK it, it only keeps the steam and water from shooting up. It rolls back into the pot and keeps rice moist and properly cooked perfect every time.Tip 2 - UNPLUG IT. This has a toggle switch. Press it down to turn it on. In 20 minutes it pops up, done cooking and keeps it on a warmer stage. I've found if you leave it on this it does heat the bottom too long, but that's natural. Keep heating and it's going to get dark on the bottom. I found that if I go out as i hear it pop up, and unplug it, t he rice not only stays warm for long enough, but it never burns. This is not a cook it and leave it all day pot. This i a cook it and use it once done pot. which is great for me. The warmer does indeed keep it warm, but I don't use it.It's pretty perfect and has yet to give me a bad pot of rice, and I wont over make rice now! The cup that comes with it is 180ml or 3/4th c up, so keep that in mind when measuring. I am unsure if this makes 6 "cups" as in what it's sold with or 6 CUPS as in the measurement, as I have yet to check how much is really made. But two of these 180ml cups tends to make a little over 4 CUPS cooked? And t hat works for me and guests.Bonus Tip: Wash your rice and the mess will always be 100 times less to clean up and a better tasting rice :D

Nice rice cooker it does stick to the bottom a little bit but that's minor Cooks rice well easy to clean

Works good.
