Product Description
Small enough for the counter, but large enough for a full meal, this 3-cup Rice Cooker from Salton takes the guess-work out of making rice and cooks perfectly every time. Comes with a removable tray for steaming seafood and vegetables, a measuring cup and rice paddle.Features Include:Cooks up to 3 cups of dry rice; use also to steam seafood and vegetables Measuring cup and serving spatula included Uses 300 watts of power 8-in. high to knob of see-through glass lid 9.5-in. in diameter, including stay-cool handles

Amazon.com Review
With a 3-cup capacity for dry rice (white or brown), this 300-watt electric rice cooker automatically produces up to 6 cups of cooked rice without sticking or scorching. Accompanying the cooker is a separate tray for steaming seafood and vegetables, a measuring cup for rice, and a plastic serving spatula. The cooker's glass lid permits monitoring of the cooking process, and the handles stay cool so you can easily move the cooker to the table for serving. The cooker is 8 inches high to the lid's knob and 9-1/2 inches in diameter, including handles. --Fred Brack

1 out of 5 stars Poor design. North worth even a 10 dollars   August 1, 2008

I bought it on a Friday Sale for around 10 dollars, and then found it's nearly garbage. The Amazon "List Price" is obviously too high for this little thing. Don't believe it.


3 out of 5 stars Ready Rice!   February 8, 2008
Amy Kargauer (NYC!)
I bought the Salton 3-cup rice cooker over the negative reviews of several people. However, with a little tweaking, it does what I want it to do perfectly! The criticism that rice sticks to the bottom happened only one time. After that,I started to add a bit (a TBS or 2) more water than the book recommends, and sometimes I put a tiny drop of oil on the bottom & spread it around w. paper towel or fingertip. No more sticking! The criticism that it boils over? ONCE that happened to me, & that was when I tried to cook Trader Joe's Harvest Blend multi-grains & pasta in it. This cooker does brown rice and quinoa for me with no problems. We're just 2 people & the bigger, fancier ones were not for me.


1 out of 5 stars Harder to cook rice in this than in a pot.   January 21, 2008
David D (PA USA)
I was hoping for an easy way to cook rice. It certainly doesn't work well for that. I tried several times in this and have given up. Will go back to a put for now.


4 out of 5 stars Cheap, effective, makes good rice   January 15, 2008

For the price, it does what it does admirably. A one-trick pony, it makes rice. It makes rice well. What else could I ask for? Simple, effective. Worth the price for sure.

Our rice cooker (this model) just died this week. We received it as a wedding gift 16 years ago and it performed flawlessly after using it 2-3 times per month. I will be ordering another just like it. Good unit for the price.
