I am a pro at cooking rice on the stove but wanted something easy and small for one person meals. This tiny rice cooker is everything I wanted!There is that new appliance burn smell the first couple times using it but after that it’s been smooth sailing since.

I would say absokute best...but I can't lie! My airfryer is 1000% the best! I use the rice cooker every day, sometimes more! Oatmeal, grits, soups, quinoa, lentils, and the list goes on! My only frustration is (following specific care instructions for cleanin and use!) The non-stick coating has started peeling off in my food! I've had to stop using it for this reason. I've had it for some time as a gift & debating whether to get a new one. Not sure I will, as this is a big issue recurring without a hint of a solution or reparations to the customers I've been in touch with.I do hope Dash reaches out to discuss the ongoing concern that is important healthcare concern (ingesting flaked of non-stick coating.)

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.

I have a few other Dash mini appliances and as soon as I saw the rice cooker I had to have it! I use mine almost daily and beyond making perfect rice, quinoa and oats, I love to make a single serving of chili, soup, mac and cheese, saute a cut up chicken breast and even make a pancake once in a while! It helps me with my portion control as well since I used to make a huge pot of chili or a whole box of mac and cheese for myself on the stove, so this little guy helps me to stay within healthy portion sizes of about 3-4 ounces of meats that fit inside of it. It heats up super quickly and cooks perfectly every time! My advice is to stay nearby and check on it and stir your food every few minutes, and I also add a little bit of extra liquid to meals like soups, stews and chili since it will cook down a bit as it boils. I'm incredibly happy with this purchase!

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.

I love this little rice cooker. It's small enough for one to two people, it's compact, and easy to clean. I haven't had anything stick to it either unless I left it in too long without enough oil or water. My rice always comes out good and I've put some other things in with the rice (meat, vegetables) and it's been great. I haven't made many other recipes in it yet because I usually use it when I specifically want rice but I'm sure it would be great for soups and noodles too just keep an eye on it because it will keep cooking when there is a lot of liquid. This is great for barracks, dorm rooms, and apartments. The photos are after two years of use and the mug is for size reference. I've had it for two years and it works just as well as the day I bought it. You will scratch the bottom if you use metal utensils but a few minor scratches doesn't affect the performance. I only put four starts because I haven't tried a lot of other recipes and I wish you could take the heat plate off to clean underneath.

This rice maker PULLS. ITS. WEIGHT! It means business. It is very small and compact (can only hold about 2 cups of cooked rice) but it does not skimp out on quality! It's keep warm feature is very good and does not just burn and dry out the rice. Very reliable product that cooks rice the same every time, there is no timer or "ding" sound when the rice is done but the maker will automatically switch from "cooking" to "warming" so there is nothing to worry about if you forget to check on it for awhile!

I love how much you can do with this Rice Cooker and can’t wait to try making Pancakes with the great recipes. You can even make Banana Bread and it’s perfect for someone cooking for one or two! I also love that it’s Pink which is my favorite color!!

I just got yesterday and tried it out before my camping trip. So far, I have made grits and rice. Both came out perfect. Plan to use it camping to steam veggies, etc... Prefer to be outside, and it will save propane not using my gas cooktop inside (also won’t heat up the camper). Perfect size for me and my tiny camper.

I love this cooker. I got my first one probably 8 years ago and it still works perfect. I wash the removable pot, lid, and accessories top shelf in th dishwasher (against mfg advice) and it's still not rusted or compromised. I bought a new one in teal to match the rest of my appliances.
