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!

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 got this item as I was living in a basement apartment and had to make a make shift kitchen, I initially bought it for rice but I used it to make soups, pastas and other grain dishes. Though it takes a while to make cone dishes like pasta it is a very simple machine to use and helpful appliance to have.

[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.

This rice cooker is excellent for cooking rice AND other stuff. I use it every day to cook grits. If I had the power, I would wish for a stronger non-stick surface. The non-stick on the cooker's inner pot has developed speckles in the paint, so the black stuff in my cooker isn't pepper. Four stars, for now.

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.

Just picked this up this afternoon and made the first batch of rice this evening. Quick to set up, use, and clean. The rice was cooked perfectly. I’ve used other rice cookers in the past but all them lacked the ability to infuse my kitchen with the enticing aroma of rice being cooked. What a great surprise!

With just one to cook for now, past meals for seven are sadly out the window. I don't eat leftovers, this small sized rice cooker with a keep warm setting is made for me. Recommend to seniors living at home without the grown children, as well as students.

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.
