Makes great rice and bread! June 19, 2008
Great White Chihuahua (PA United States)
When I saw it had a bread baking function, I was curious. I didn't expect a whole lot but I figured if the bread baking isn't great, I'd always have an oven anyway. So I took the chance.
I just used frozen bread dough (the one with 3 loaves in a bag). 1 loaf was a bit too big so I pinched off the end to make it smaller.
after 90 minutes I opened the lid it was all the way to the top. I then flip it over to brown the other side. Now the instruction says after 40 minutes you have to punch it down. Well, I didn't because I didn't hear the buzzer. But since it baked fine, I don't even bother to punch it down. It bakes fine without doing so. I used Pizza dough. What's great is that for a quick loaf, it won't heat up the whole kitchen. It doesn't use unnecessary eletricity(or gas) because you don't have to turn on the big oven. When we decide to have Italian, I just pop one piece of thawed dough. By the time the dinner is ready, bread is done. It doesn't produce dark crust, instead, it comes out with very light crust. Inside is so soft like steamed bun. It is so yummy. I also tried sweet roll dough with cinnamon, currant and sugar. It was great, too. I'm sure you can get really creative.
And by the way, it also cooks great rice, too. I used to own Zojirushi and I believe Sanyo cooks better rice than that. Not that Zojirushi is bad, it was an older model. This rice cooker's inner bowl is much thicker so that might be why....
Anyway, I am so glad I bought this.
Great purchase June 15, 2008

I am extremely pleased with my purchase of this Sanyo after researching different micom rice cookers to replace an on/off model. So far I've made brown rice, several varieties of white rice, steel-cut oats (porridge cycle), and bibimbap. Everything comes out great and the cooker is easy to clean and is attractive-looking with a small footprint. I haven't tried bread-baking yet and would like to hear from someone who has.
Perfect Kitchen Device May 29, 2008

I received this product as a gift and it has been one of the most useful devices I have ever used in the kitchen. Because of how easy cooking rice in it is, I can make half a cup of rice for a snack that isn't terrible for me like chips or other kinds of processed packaged food. Even if you make the kind of rice that comes from a box, the machine makes it easy and makes perfect rice every time.
I strongly suggest adding one of these to your kitchen devices.
Good Rice Cooker April 11, 2008

I've had this rice cooker for about a month. In that time I've used it 8-10 times. So far the quality of this product is very good -- I've had no problems at all. It has a solid and well built feel to it.
This appliance is very easy to use. Unless you're programming it for a later start, you simply pour in the appropriate amounts of rice and water, select the kind of rice from the menu button, and press the start button. That's it. I usually prepare white Jasmine rice, and cook time is roughly 45 minutes. I used to be able to cook this rice on the stove top in roughly 25 minutes, so at first I was a bit concerned about the longer cook time. However, it's turned out to work just fine. The value of a rice cooker like this Sanyo is that you can put in the rice & water, turn it on and walk away. When preparing on the stove top, I couldn't leave it unattended. So now when I come home from work, I can get the rice started and then go walk the dogs or begin prepping the rest of the meal. It's really convenient. The keep warm function is also helpful. If I'm not done with the other elements of the meal, it automatically switches into the keep warm mode until I'm ready.
The quality and taste of the rice is excellent. While I was happy with the rice I prepared on the stove, I think this is better. Clean up is very easy. It is truly a non-stick pot. I simply wash the removable inner pot and inner lid in warm sudsy water and wipe down the rice cooker. It's really easy and quick.
I would recommend this to anyone who is looking at a rice cooker. This model (ECJ-S35S) can cook up to 3-1/2 "cups" of uncooked rice, which is plenty for my wife and me. If you have a bigger family, you may want to consider a larger capacity model -- especially since the price is not too much different.
