This little unit worked perfectly, and takes up less room on our kitchen counter or cabinets. It cooked 2 cups perfectly and was to our exact outcome hoped for. We wanted something simple to replace an aging, yet still functional Zojirushi rice cooker at a much lower price point. The larger 5.5 cup cooker was just becoming too cumbersome in our senior years, and the Mini Rice Cooker from Dash is working out great.

I followed the instructions in the manual and used the cup that came with the rive cooker. This is what happens whne I attempt to make steel cut oats. Putting it on a cutting board helps with cleanup but it's very annoying that this is promoted as a way to cook oatmeal but doesn't mention the cleanup involved.

I love this cooker, I've used it for several years now but I'm really distressed sbout the rice! I know you say not to use a regular measuring cup, but I've lost the rice measure that came with it and I can't seem to find any information on your site as to equivalencies. I'd eventually be interested in buying a replacement measure. and will be able to as soon as my disability case is resolved, but since I purchased this I have had two total hip replacements and become unable to work and consequently am very poor right now and need to postpone that purchase until that is no longer the case. Does anyone know how much that measure held, so that until I can buy it I will at least be able to approximate?

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This thing smells of burnt chemicals and plastic when cooking. It gave me a terrible headache and Dash charges for returns. Please be wise and purchase a non-Dash rice cooker. It's not worth your money being taken away.

Over the last 45 years I've owned about a dozen rice cookers, so this isn't new to me. With that said, this is a nice little rice cooker that does a great job of making a small pot of rice simply and easily. I just used it, followed the instructions and the rice came out perfect. Cleanup was easy and one cup was just the right amount for a late-night snack. If I'm making a meal for the family, this is not the cooker I'll use, but I may just keep this in my office for when I want a snack. Just two last things, one - Dash, please consider making a steamer tray for this unit, that would be awesome. The second thing - and this is just me saying, I always wash my rice before cooking and it makes a big difference. Maybe you could mention it in your instructions as an option.

Perfect portions, cooks perfectly! The recipes included in the manual are superb, I never would have thought I could make banana bread, polenta, and of all things a Dutch baby in my Dash Mini Rice Cooker! I am trying the Thai coconut rice next. Thank you Dash

I’ve been wanting a rice cooker for quite a while. I had one in the past, but it was one of the really big ones and with just me and my husband. I don’t need that much rice. By chance I found this little rice cooker it makes the perfect amount of rice and the rice is awesome. it’s easy to use it’s easy to clean and it’s very easy to store.

I bought this along with a hand mixer back in May and I have to say I use it literally all the time. It makes the perfect amount of rice for me to have one helping at dinner and a leftover helping the next day for lunch and I've also had a lot of delicious success making mashed potatoes and mac and cheese in it. It's also ridiculously cute which is always a bonus for me. :)

Does take a while for brown rice, but I can never cook rice properly, so Im willing to forgive. It cooks perfectly every time and automatically switches to warm mode when done. It does only hold about 2 cups cooked rice (1 cup uncooked), but I live alone so its perfect for me. I love the color too! Easy to use and clean, cant be beat.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Brsvo!!!! Could not believe it. I have had three packages of Macaroni and Cheese on my shelf for I don't know for how long. Tonight I decided to try my Dash Mini Rice Cooker out. Put two of the packages in with water, turned on the "MINI" Cooker and Volla, had macaroni and cheese and fish sticks for supper. In 20 minutes my supper was ready I could not believe that this little machine could do this, and perfectly to boot. You are way on top of my list DASH. Thank you for such an amazing Mini Rice Cooker with Keep Warm, because it does do just that COOK and KEEP WARM. I just proved it. Thank You.
