Healthy cooking and sleek modern design meld in this rice cooker from Cuisinart. A smaller version of the eight-cup cooker, this one also features a handsome brushed stainless-steel exterior, a square shape with rounded corners, chrome-plated handles, and a glass lid with a stainless rim, chrome knob, and steam vent hole. Inside you'll find a high-quality stainless-steel steaming basket and a nonstick cooking bowl that produces 4 to 7 cups of rice. The cooker also steams vegetables and thin cuts of meat, creating a complete, fat-free meal with little effort. Besides various types of rice, the cooker cooks couscous, polenta, oatmeal, boiled eggs, shrimp, and much more. An included booklet presents gourmet recipes for such mouth-watering meals as Creamy Parmesan Risotto with Asparagus, and Teriyaki Steamed Chicken with Cranberry Wild Rice. Cuisinart gives this upscale rice cooker extra panache with a cord that pulls out and then retracts for storage. One lever is all that's required to flip the machine on. Two different colored LED lights illuminate, one during the cooking phase, and the other when the machine automatically switches to warm when cooking is done. Included with the machine are a textured plastic paddle for stirring and serving, and a plastic measuring cup calibrated specifically for rice. All the unit's removable parts are dishwasher-safe. The cooker measures 7-3/4 by 7-3/4 by 9 inches, and is covered by a three-year warranty. --Ann Bieri

 Does not work November 18, 2008

After repeated efforts, my experience has been that rice rarely turns out well with this rice cooker. I have tried to make adjustments to the amount of liquid but the rice is usually undercooked by varying degrees. It is very inconsistent on how long it cooks for a fixed quantity of rice and water, and often burns the rice on the bottom before cooking all the rice. I give up and am looking for a different rice cooker.
 Simple and great October 21, 2008

Hands down the most stylish and useful little rice cooker on the market. We use it almost daily. With jasmine rice from Thailand and a 1:2 ratio, there has been no mess. When we first got this or if my spouse first used it, it would boil over. Right now we could not be happier with it, Stainless steel was the draw, the performance made it a keeper.
Waste of money. Stay away from this item September 25, 2008

This is the worst rice cooker I've ever used! I'm Asian, so I know what a good cooked rice should be like. This rice cooker does not cook!! Rice always come out undercook. I tried following the direction in the manual, tried different ratios of rice vs water, followed instruction in the rice package, tried different type of rice. IT ALWAYS UNDERCOOKED!
You're better off buying a non-branded rice cooker from your chinese supermarket or store.
It cooks rice consistently perfect September 21, 2008

This little cooker does exactly what it is supposed to do... cook rice. It is compact, consistent and well built. I have cooked brown rice, white rice and even Uncle Ben's Rice Pilaf box dishes with excellent results. As long as you accurately measure the rice and water you will be fine.
 I expect more from Cuisinart September 8, 2008

I love using the rice cooker. The rice turns out perfect every time. However, no matter which recipe I use, it over flows onto the counter.
The shape is great, the squareness of it makes it easy to store. I still use it all the time, I just make sure that there isn't anything near it when it cooks. The only other complaint I have is that there is not an off switch, you have to unplug it after every use. Maybe they are all like that, I do not know, this is the only one I have ever used.
I love the retractable cord!!! Rice is perfectly cooked and appliance is easy to store. Too bad it makes such a mess, I expected more from Cuisinart.
