I owned 4 mini rice cookers at the moment . And this is the best so far ! The pot coat its amazing . I put 2 or 3 drops of oil and is enough for the 2 little cups of rice . Fast and compact . I am in love and obsessed with all about this brand . Long life for dash ! I

I tried cooking a half cup of rice the first time. I followed the makers directions using the included measuring cup and adding water to half fill line in the pot. It boiled over, it took over 30 minutes before it shut off, the rice came out sticky and there was a layer of crunchy rice at the bottom. My second try worked much better. I followed the directions on the rice package. No boil over, it turned off at 22 minutes, the rice had a good texture but there was still a thin layer of dried out rice in the bottom of the pot.

The instructions are a bit confusing. It comes with a “measuring scoop” which is the equivalent to 3/4 cup of dry rice (the top edge of scoop). When placing that amount in the cooker and topping off to the full line in the pot (per instructions) there is a LOT more water (over 1 1/2 cups) than the ratio recommends. Very confusing! Since I am new to rice pots I used the filled scoop and ignored the water line. Instead I added 1 1/4 cups of water using the scoop. The level of both inside the pot was between 1/2 and 1. Hum. Anyway, the rice was good, fluffy if not a bit dry...It took 22 minutes to cook.I really was hoping I could put a standard sized cup of rice ans 1.5 c of water as suggested by my rice supplier..I will try that next and hope it doesn’t overflow!

This cooker is simple and straightforward. I"ve only made rice thus far but plan to expand to oatmeal and quinoa soon. The stay warm feature is great, although it does cook the bottom of your rice if left on more than 10-15 minutes! And the cooker is 'on' the minute you plug it in so it must not be left plugged in. The rice paddle is an added bonus, Great for rice that I use right away as well as rice kept a day or two to use with stir fry dishes. For storage the rice dumps perfectly out of the cooking bowl into a round 1 qt Pyrex glass bowl. Love this little beauty!

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.

This little rice cooker is perfect for one or two people. So far, I’ve cooked Jasmine, long grain brown , rice with stir fry veggies and even tried dried pinto beans. There’s one small area that will overcook the rice but not enough to ruin it. It’s my first rice cooker so I can’t compare, but so far I love it.

This little gem is the easiest, safest, most wonderful way to make rice and other goodies. It makes the perfect amount of rice for 2 - 3 servings and the rice comes out cooked to perfection every time. I plan to branch out and make other items beside rice with my rice cooker ASAP!

The single reason I didn’t give 5 stars is due to the slightly long cooking process that wasn’t indicated in manual. Rice took around 20-25 mins to cook. Other than that the set up and clean up process was easy, rice was cooked perfectly and didn’t stick to the bottom.
