 Love the Rice Cooker/Vegetable Steamer May 15, 2008
juice (Arizona)
Well, it's been a month and I finally made some brown rice.... and my favorite, steamed broccoli. The rice (TJs Brown Basmati) I cooked for 20 minutes at 50% power level and followed instructions on bag which said 2 Cups water, 1 Cup rice. After 20 minutes, there was still water left and rice was still hard so I cooked for an additional 12 minutes at 50% level and that did the trick. It was perfect... I did let it sit for a few minutes and it fluffed up beautifully. As for the broccoli, I followed instructions 3-4 minutes on high, not vented... then let it sit closed for an additional 3-4 minutes, so I did 3 and 3, because I like it just barely softened and very green. Not sure I saved much time (15 mins total), but I didn't have to watch either of these. I was doing other things while they cooked away. Maybe I'll buy another so I can do them sort of simultaneously, as this is a favorite meal. A great value too.
 Make crunchy rice!!!!!! April 24, 2008

This is great if you like crunchy rice.
I followed the instructions to the T and the rice came out crunchy and uncooked.....terrible.
Sooooo....I had to experiment.......it says 1 1/2 cups of water to 1 cup of rice......I actually NEEDED to use 2 - 1 ratio.
It says to micro at half power for 11 minutes.......WRONG!!!!
I had to micro at full for about 16 minutes to make edible rice.
Perhaps I'll need a new microwave next!!!!!!!

The only noticeable thing about this cooker is that it leaves no gunk.
But be warned, it leaves a strong plastic + starch smell that some people may not like.
Cooks Pasta, too! March 28, 2008

I use this to cook pasta in the microwave in 10 minutes. No more boiling a big pot of water on the stove. 2 cups pasta and 2 1/2 cups water (salt optional) in cooker--without the basket. Cook on high for 10 minutes uncovered--stir midway.
Remove from microwave, lock on lid with vents closed for 2 mins., drain.
Works great.

My wife simply loves this cooker.. It works great and is very easy to clean!! We have been using it for 4-5 months almost daily . It also steams vegetables and potatoes very well. No complaints as of yet.
