Product Description
This Sanyo rice cooker and warmer is micro-computerized with multi-menu selections that allow you to make various kinds of rice. With it (and its fuzzy-logic controls and temperature settings) you can make white rice, rinse-free rice, mixed rice, sweet rice, sprouted brown rice, quick-cooking rice, brown rice and porridge. Use it, too, for steaming or slow-cooking soups and stews. The Sanyo micom rice cooker and warmer has a Titanium-coated, extra-thick, nonstick inner pot with a rounded bottom for maximum heat distribution. The inner pot also features a water fill line for rinse-free rice and sprouted brown rice. After cooking is complete, a Keep Warm function automatically kicks in to keep your dish warm until you're ready to serve. On the front of the Sanyo micom rice cooker and warmer is a clock and timer. The LCD clock and 24-hour, preset timer let you set it and go. The Cook/Reheat button keeps your rice in a keep-warm mode; it can be reheated in about five minutes and served as if it were freshly cooked. Included with your Sanyo micro-computerized rice cooker and warmer is a steaming tray for vegetables, a measuring cup, nonstick spatula and a multi-language instructional manual with recipes. A retractable cord keeps counters neat and the cord out of the way.

 Rice Steamer April 23, 2008

Great product. We eat a lot of rice and we are able to leave it in the steamer for several days without it drying out. It also makes rice perfectly and without the mess.
 Reliable Rice Cooker March 24, 2008
F. Wang (Los Angeles, CA USA)
I've had mine for 2 months now and have only used it to cook white rice. In general, it takes about 40+ minutes to cook 2 cups of rice. I don't think there is much room for improvement as my previous Fujitsu digital rice cooks took even longer. The rice comes out just the way I wanted it (consistently).
I also like the inner lid, which is easy to remove and clean. You'll still need to wipe the outer lid clean, but it is very easy to do. Overall, I think this is a great rice cooker for the price you pay. I'm going to explore cooking brown rice and porridge later.
A terrific, inexpensive addition March 22, 2008
J. E. Cobery (Bristol, RI USA)
I purchased this rice cooker after reading reviews on Cook's Illustrated website. They recommend this product, and I concur. It is terrific. Simple to use and to clean. In addition, Sanyo seems to have thought of and included every useful feature. I wholeheartedly recommend this cooker.
I'm so happy I found it in the US! January 25, 2008

I owned the Japanese version of this rice cooker in Japan when I lived there, and I loved it! So much so, I seriously considered shipping it home, but the directions were in Japanese and I knew US outlets were a little different. I'm so happy though because now I can buy a version with English directions! When I used this in Japan, it was only to make steamed rice (mostly because I couldn't read the directions...) but it made the best rice I've ever had. It always came out perfect. I used to own a "standard" non-pressurized rice cooker in the US, but the rice was always too soggy or too dry. It also never succeeded in making "sticky" rice, and yes, I bought the right kind of rice.
The only complaint many people have, and what surprised me at first, is that it does take around 40 minutes to make plain, white rice. Aside from that, I can't think of anything bad to say. It's easy to clean, especially if you soak it first, and it's really easy to use. One thing to keep in mind is it only make about enough for a 4-5 person family when full, so if you have a big family, get a bigger rice cooker. For one person, it usually made enough for 2 servings when using the smallest amount possible, but I just refrigerated it. I would highly recommend this product to anyone interested in owning a nice pressurized rice cooker.
Perfect Rice Cooker January 19, 2008
A. Glenn (austin, texas United States)
I've owned some rice cookers in the past, but this one is the best one i've come across. Cooks rice perfectly everytime. I like that it is modern looking and not the typical rice cooker style. i've cooked brown and white rice and it does the best job i've seen. Highly recommend. Big buttons, subtle beep when finished, and perfect rice everytime.
