I used this rice cooker for the first time today. I cooked 1 cup of rice, hand washed the little pot with a gentle sponge and while it was drying I noticed it already has a chip in the black coating on the pot. The chip wasn’t there when I opened the package so I guess it couldn’t handle regular use even once, what a piece of garbage! The coating also contains PFTEs so I definitely will not be using it with the coating chipping off so easily.

For such a small appliance, it really does the job! I have to admit I didn't expect much when I took it from the box...but was I pleasantly surprised! It's great if you're single or even a couple, but wouldn't work for any more than two people; also doesn't take up a lot of room if you have a small apartment or house.Would definitely recommend to others!

This little rice cooker exceeded my expectations! I stopped cooking mostly because it’s just me. But needed an easier way to whip up some decent meals so ordered this little guy and it’s been great. I can make a meal in less than 30 min. and there’s enough for 2. Want to order the 3 n 1 mini maker griddle but it’s been out of stock forever! Will just have to wait.

This makes the best rice and other recipes! I bought a more expensive one and was very unhappy with how it made my rice. Now I can make my rice recipe's knowing they will come out perfect for me. The mini size is perfect for me!! Thank you for making a mini size rice cooker

Received cooker today. Ran a test batch of white rice through the cooker. First, I noticed the cooker is pretty flimsy, but thought I would give it a chance. Used the provided measuring cup and followed directions. Rice burned.. Not edible at all, who wants to taste that? Returning this rice cooker asap.

Our old rice cooker was too big and cannot made one cup rice. So we bought this Dash Rice Cooker a month ago. It's tiny. Only make one cup of raw rice (though it claims two cups, it's after cooking). Perfect for 2 or 3 people. The cooker is very simple, no insulation around and on top the pot. The contact is inconsistent, you need to press the pot down to ensure it heats properly. It spills. After all, the cooked rice is good.

I bought one of these a year ago for my youngest daughter, and my oldest said she wanted one, too. I already own 5 mini waffle makers which are great, so I imagined this would work as well. It does! I have a full size zojirushi, and honestly, I can't tell the difference in the rice at all. Would buy again! Surely my niece and nephew need one, too!

Despite cleaning the bowl, lid paddle and measuring cup and removing all the obvious plastic, when the first batch of white rice that I made got to the final stages of cooking i started to smell a very strong eau de melting plastic. Based on the smell and what appeared to be melted plastic around the edge of the lid, im guessing there must have been some kind of very sticky invisible type plastic around and/or below the lid. The melted plastic appeared to be just around the top most part of the container (where the rim of the lid touches it) so it didn’t get in the rice and the rice was delicious, hence four stars.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I personally don’t have one but my daughter does and she loves. She says her rice comes out perfect every time. I just bought one for my sister in law for Xmas. It’s the perfect size for a single person and it’s compact.

I got the WW version of this DASH mini-rice cooker and love using it. It makes the perfect amount of rice for one or two people with a minimum of fuss. No heavy pans to haul out, no water to bring to a boil on a stove top or microwave. To date I've made regular, purple and kalijira (a mini Jasmin rice) rice and quinoa in this cooker. I used the provided measuring cup for the rice and after comparing the how-to instructions that came with my quinoa and the appliance guidelines, all turned out perfectly. And yes, I've added bouillon and dried minced onion to some of my rice. It would be nice if the was some way to safely rinse the grains/rice when required, in the cooking bowl without having to use something else, but that would be a nice-to-have. (Rinsing kalijira rice is tough because it's so tiny. It and quinoa both require a really fine sieve.) Clean up is easy and fast. I did note that the Keep warm feature on mine works well, but may be a bit too warm. While it didn't burn my rice, the rice on the bottom got a bit crusty. Perhaps if I had stirred the cooked rice up, then left it on "warm " the rice might not have crusted on the bottom.
