This type of rice cooker are pretty much the same, when the rice has finished cooking you need to leave it for 10 minutes before serving if you don’t you will get the skin on the bottom.
I have used this model without a problem :wink: It’s just trial and error.

Pretty much perfect every time. I am saying this model is crap as i have first hand experience, unlike you! :confused:

I agree!
I'm from Hong Kong and everyone uses rice cookers... Just rinse rice and pour in water, press the switch and it'll cook to perfection (better for SE Asia-type of 'wetter' rice style, I suspect, rather than Indian dry 'grainy' type)
Better ones even goes to 'keep warm' mode so it's idiot-proof.

I have a Japanese brand and it can bake(?) cake, cook congee and even make soup as well..

I have one of these but stopped using it.

It would always leave a skin of rice on the bottom and overcook the rest.

Just rinse your rice and cook it like you do with pasta and it's perfect.

Will this fit my honda?

Got one of these and been using it 4/5 times a week for the last 6 months and not a single issue. Really decent for the price and cooks enough for 4 people but can also be used for much smaller amounts. Use it with jasmine rice and never really followed any instructions - just rinse the rice then add water.

Yes, you can cook rice in a saucepan but this thing is just so fantastically consistent and simple, especially when rice is your main staple week in/week out.

So you get perfect rice EVERY time, you’ve never over cooked or burnt it in pan.
I use a rice cooker with Thai rice, 2 cups of rice just under 3 cups of water, when cooked break/fluff up the rice. Perfect and ready to serve.
I’ve lived and worked Asia, funny how the majority of households use a rice cooker
I have a Tefal Classic 2000

Add double the amount of cold water to that of rice. Bring to the boil, turn off heat and put lid on pan. Turns out fine.

That said, I've got one of these rice cookers and it is a godsend. The insert is so easy to clean, too.

​Perfect rice everytime recipe.

Put the rice in a saucepan and add a little oil.

Warm and stir the rice so that the rice is coated with oil.

Add boiling water and boil the rice as usual.

This works on any cheap rice.

I belong to the 'cannot cook rice' club - had one of these for years and I do like it, means I can go and do other things while it's working. Sometimes the contents bubble and spit out of the lid though which isn't ideal.

why is it easier? I had the exact one in this deal and it always overcooked the rice and left a layer on the bottom I had to scrape off. Now its at the back of a cupboard and I just use a saucepan and get perfect rice every time and less hassle cleaning up.

We've had one of these for years. Does the job alright but you do often get a skin of rice on the bottom. Maybe it's just me..

Worth it for the price.

Obviously you got too much water.:smile:

Cause it's so difficult to boil rice in a saucepan!!!!!!!

These are amazing, perfect fluffy rice every time. Just chuck it in and leave it, just automatically goes to keep warm once cooked.

​boiling rice is so easy. you sound like you are over cooking the rice

Bought 5 years ago for the same price...

difference between boiling rice and cooking rice

every time I try this it turns out like porridge so I mite try this

Got it cheap a few years ago and I use it for making macaroni.

Gotta give it heat. :P

Good product. Does the job.

I got one of these last time it was on offer, great item and well worth £12.49 (the first one broke after three uses but got it replaced no problem).
