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!

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 the variety of foods I can prepare. I looked through the recipe book, and there was even polenta. I haven't had the appliances to made decent polenta for so long that I finally gave up. I'm really looking forward to preparing it in this cooker. Also, I love the color (aqua).

It beats having to hover over a hot stove making sure it don't burn

Work perfectly and just the right size for two people in a small apartment

Works great - good results with rice and oatmeal

Basic steamed rice came out perfect.

I am awake at night and don't want to wake everyone by using the kitchen. Now I don't!

Only used a few times but works great so far! Can’t wait to try fun recipes other than rice too

Super easy to use and easy to clean
