I am currently facing a huge reduction in my SNAP (food stamps) allotment next month along with 3 million others in my state. My new Dash Rice Cooker is helping me deal with this, as well as hyperinflation and food delivery chain unreliability, by almost 100% food waste elimination and/or substitution of ingredients right out of the box. I now cook almost 100% with this Rice Cooker only or alongside the traditional natural gas powered kitchen stove at presently more limited times. I have plenty of ideas & recipes gained via online videos & websites, "Rice Cooker" cookbooks, the local public library, and even my own modified recipes. I feel confident that I will be able to still eat very healthy, with good generous proportions, no skimping, and always enjoy hot delicious meals no matter what happens-or even if I don't have a kitchen anymore. Thank you Dash for creating such an affordable, cheery and very colorful little devices for people with fixed limited incomes, too!

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!

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.

This has been value engineered to a ridiculous extent. It cooks ok rice. There is no auto shutoff, you have to unplug it. It tips over when you scoop towards the front because it sits on 3 legs not 4. Rice is usually crispy on the bottom. I can see this being used in a college dorm, not a family kitchen.

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.

After all my children moved out I didn’t need the huge rice cooker. I looked a while for a smaller rice cooker but did like any until I saw this one in pick. Easy to use and made the perfect amount of rice two people. I think it ready cute and work good. I love dash products but didn’t buy them to often because they were so small. I love dash products , usually give waffles makers as gifts . I once gave a dash pressure cooker as a wedding gift. I went to order one for myself but they were sold out and dash quit making them. I just really like the dash products.

I made rice pudding, I set it up and walked away, I thought it would shut off after 30 minutes, I don’t think it did but then I didn’t set a timer, I don’t think it shuts off by itself. I’m gonna have to go back and read the directions again. My rice was a little bit overcooked, but it was OK. This will come in handy for van life, it’s small, compact, very portable. Could heat soups up in it. I Imagine there’s a lot of things like Ramen. You can cook. It’s one heat, hot and then a keep warm button. Next time I’m goning to make plain rice, but the pudding did turn out OK

Very useful for me and my husband coz we love rice but had to control the amount and this is perfect for our current diet. Also, i bought two cookers coz my furbabies consume a different type of rice and able to separately make for us four at the same time!

I love being able to make lunch just for today! Soak then cook 1/4 cup jasmine rice and just before it's done, make a little divot in the center and add an egg to steam while the rice finishes. Sprinkle with furikake and lunch is done!Also great for making hot & sour soup for one. I just want to use it for everything now. Extremely versatile appliance.

This is not a good product. I made the rice according to the measurements in their cookbook and it spilled out everywhere. It was shipped in the box with no tape on it and it had been opened because the lid on the box was broke. I do not recommend this product
