 Rice Cooker Won't give up March 6, 2007
DO (Alameda, CA)
I bought this model about 8 years ago and it has given me no problems. I have scratched the bottom of it while fluffing the rice with a fork and still it cooks up the rice like the day I bought it. The containter comes out and is easy to wash. It's easy to store and a gem of a product.

If you are having problems with rice bubbling and overflowing it is because you probably haven't rinsed it. This removes the surface starch from the rice and prevents frothing. It is a step that no Japanese housewife or grannie leaves out. The rice is always rinsed. The problem with the lid is not really a problem. It is designed to fit so it releases excess steam and the rice cooks properly. Remember that this is a Japanese invention and the instructions will reflect cooking rice in a Japanese fashion. It is also traditional to soak the rice for 30 minutes before cooking, as it is felt that this makes the rice tastier. I usually omit this step with no real consequence. Also the one cup water to one cup rice is the correct proportion for Japanese short grain rice (like Cal Rose or Kokuho Rose). You need less water for new crop rice at the beginning of the season as opposed to older rice. Also factor in the humidity in your area as this can make a difference in the cooked product.I live in a very dry northern climate so I add a quarter cup of water or so. Keep in mind the type of rice you are cooking and you will have endless pots of perfect rice with this appliance. I have a 25 year old basic rice cooker like this one and it's still going strong.

I always thought rice cookers were a silly appliance to own. After all, what's so difficult about putting a cup of rice and 2 cups of water in a pan, bringing it to a boil, covering it, and timing it for 20-40 minutes, depending on the rice.
Then I read somewhere that in Japan 95% of kitchens have a rice cooker. That got my attention. If a rice loving country uses it, maybe I am missing the point.
So I got this little Panasonic cooker. I love it! It's like set it and forget it. No worries about timing, etc. I make it early in the day, and if eating it later, I just add a small amount of water to the pot and it steams and shuts off all by itself. The rice comes out perfect every time. Sometimes I add some meat or fish or veggies or canned beans to the pot before turning it on. I haven't found a reason yet to use the steamer function, but that's ok.
A liberating device.

this is my first rice cooker. i am used to using pressure cookers. this cooker works just fine. i haven't had any problems yet. i could have purchased a cheaper cooker but i went for a more known brand (Panasonic) and i have no regrets. i would say this cooker is worth its price.

This little cooker should have been exactly what I wanted. It is small, with just enough capacity for two or three servings, and does a fairly good job of not under/overcooking the rice. However, and this is the most disappointing aspect of the cooker and the reason it only gets two stars from me, the lid doesn't fit tightly AT ALL. As a result, even with only one cup (!!) of water in the bottom of the cooker, the rice and water boil over and bubble everywhere, creating a sticky, hot, ricy film over everything within eighteen inches' radius of the cooker. Definitely dangerous if there happen to be children exploring the counter, or if you are close and not paying attention. I have rectified it by wrapping the perimeter of the lid with wet paper towels to make a tighter seal, but I would not recommend this cooker to anyone who isn't fond of "fixing" brand-new appliances.
