You have no idea. Without doubt one of the best things you will ever buy!!

Sauce pan and water does the trick.

how big are they

I just bought one from Argos today, might preorder this. Seems more advanced. How many rice mugs can this take?

These are great! we now have rice just like you buy from the chinese take aways. mine makes enough for 10 servings

Not always I... have the Sage risotto machine that cost £120 and the rice always sticks.

I was teaching in Vietnam a few years ago and everyone owned a rice cooker, rather like we have toasters when we could use a grill. The best thing you could buy, no more burnt rice, you can carry on doing other stuff while it cooks and it turns on to 'keep warm' when done. I own this one but I got on better with the Argos cheapo one which is smaller and better for smaller amounts.

Oh sorry, I was meaning Asian rice, not Italian risotto rice. I don't know much about the latter.

haha you can actually get rice cookers that crispen ("burn") the rice, a delicacy in some parts of the world. Expensive but excellent crisp rice each time. They have a rotary dial (rather like a toaster ) to set how crisp you want the rice. I got my first from Amazon ( stateside so use stepdown transformer) cheap and then later an unused one on local Gumtree. Love them. I think they're made in Germany and can be described as persian or tahdig rice cookers.

Since I found out you can get Cancer from burnt toast, this week I don't trust burnt rice now either. I also found out that being alive makes you at a greater risk of Cancer too, you can't win. I bet there's Cancer in water as well, it's bloody everywhere.

Totally agree. Yes a saucepan will do the same job but his makes making rice effortless and it's perfect every time

Can not does. If you believe everything you read on the internet you may as well go and live in a cave.

If you smoke drink or eat fatty for, burnt toast is the least of your worries.

It's not complicated at all. One cup of water per cup of rice and push button. Nothing to watch. Nothing to simmer and certainly not complicated.

I assume you don't use a toaster or an electric mower as there are other ways of doing it fine.

Are you using light bulbs yet or are candles still the best and least complicated way of giving you light?

Are these much better than the microwave rice cookers?

​Whooooosh :laughing:

I got a Crockpot version similar to this and it consistantly burnt the rice. I do have a proper proper rice cooker where the lid locks and the rice cooks and turns to warm mode. I have used the crockpot about 3 times before I gave up entirely and now use a saucepan. I get the proper rice cooker out when I cook more rice.

Now 12.99. Just bought one
