 Perfect for veggies July 3, 2008

I love this steamer for my veggies! It didn't do such a hot job with my rice, but I only tried that once, so it was probably something I could have adjusted (more water or something). I've used and loved it for broccoli, carrots, asparagus, cabbage, etc. I use it way more often than my expensive stovetop steaming pot!
Surprised at how much I've ended up using this! May 4, 2008

I read the reviews and decided against getting this, despite how much some reviewers liked it. But last summer when I saw it in a silent auction and realized that I could get it for a $1 bid, I couldn't resist. Best dollar I ever spent...this rice cooker actually works, and very well at that. The rice it makes, parboiled, white or brown, has all turned out great. The only time I had any sort of mess was when I did the maximum amount of brown rice, and then it was no big deal to clean up. This makes it so easy to pick up a Chinese entrée at our grocery store, and come home to make the rice in the microwave -- we save money by making our own rice and it couldn't be easier to get it done using this cooker. The negative reviews here chased me away for a while; I'm so glad I had a price I couldn't resist so I could "discover" this product.
Since I use this every day .... April 29, 2008

I am concerned about the presence of BPA in the container. BPA is used to make clear, hard plastics and this is a clear, hard plastic. Does anyone know?
I use the cooker to steam vegetables every day and it's invaluable. Yellow and orange vegetables do stain the basket insert very quickly and the stain isn't removable, at least not with any cleaner I'd want to use on a food container. My last Joyce Chen lasted three years of daily use before it developed a fine crack in the base and leaked water. I'll be happy if this one lasts the same time. I just need to resolve the nagging question of BPA.
 no bueno!!! April 6, 2008

tried this 2-3 times and maybe I'm doing something wrong, but the rice was a disaster. Went back to boil-in-bags.
Disaster! April 6, 2008

I tried cooking brown rice - which takes a lot longer than white. It worked after a fashion, but never did the job in the suggested time, so I gave it an extra ten minutes. (Big mistake) It warped, the seal failed allowing moisture to leak, the rice caught on fire, part of the cooker melted, the house was filled with smoke, and I don't know if I will ever get rid of the stench. I wouldn't allow another one of those things in the house if Joyce Chen personally brought it to the door and begged me to take it. )-8
