I cook rice in it a couple of times a week, my wife cooks quinoa in it about as often, I'll occasionally make porridge with it and every two or three weeks I'll do a delicious chorizo and prawn jambalaya in it. It handles everything perfectly, the rice is well cooked and fluffy and the non-stick surface is good quality making washing up an absolute breeze.It's the perfect size for one or two, able to cook little enough or more than enough for two or more if you have guests or want extra rice (for example to make a stir fry next day.There's two things that would make this even better, in my opinion, one is a few sample recipes for people starting out with it, and the second is a steamer basket, I've bought one separately but it wasn't quite the right size so I've had to 3D print an adaptor ring.(If anyone's interested, I make my jambalaya by heating up a little chorizo sausage in a small frying pan until it gives off it's oil, then frying off onions peppers and garlic in the oil toasting some Cajun seasoning and then adding a tablespoon of tomato puree and mixing. This is then transferred to the rice cooker with washed long grain rice and some frozen peas or sweetcorn, I use cooled chicken stock instead of water (1 1/2 times the rice by volume) and a pinch of salt. Mix well then cook as normal - ie press the button and wait! - once it's finished cooking stir in the prawns and leave it on warm for 10 minutes. Make sure everything, especially the prawns, is cooked through before eating and follow this recipe at your own risk, it's how I cook it but I take no responsibility for anyone else's results following it!)

Why did you choose this product over others?:Great little rice cooker at a great price! Such a cute green colour. Perfect rice every time!  Easy ratio of rice to water, same as what I’d do in a pan on hob. I timed it the first time I used it because the instructions don’t really say how long it will take, but when the rice is cooked and all water absorbed, it clicks off on its own and switches to the ‘keep warm’ feature. This takes 14.25 mins. Very impressed, really happy and actually for £25.00 if it doesn’t last more than a few years, it’s not the end of the world is it!

Love this little machine. Colour is actually more blue than green in my opinion.Used straight away to cook some basmati rice with some frozen peas and sweetcorn on top. Cooked perfectly.Extremely Easy to use with rice cup and markings inside bowl. Looking forward to trying other things eg. Omelette and cakes.I've never had a problem cooking rice by the absorption method so didn't see the benefit of a rice cooker but actually I'm impressed. It also frees up a hob ring and turns itself to warm when done so no risk of forgetting and ruining/ burning.It's also small enough to fit in a kitchen cupboard. Not that it needs hiding away.I was actually buying this for my son for uni later this year but I'm so impressed I'm going to keep it for myself and buy him another.

Very convenient for university students. Bought this halfway through my second year (around four months ago) and can safely say that it has become a staple for me. I cook rice around 4/5 days a week with it, and it always comes out perfect. I do 1 cup rice to 1.75 cups water and just leave it to cook for around half an hour. I haven’t tried using the steam basket, but I have cooked broccoli, cauliflower, and potatoes straight in with the rice (take out after 10-15 minutes) and it comes out very well. With the amount I make, it comes out to two or three meals depending on what I’m eating, but there’s enough room in the cooker for double that. The only issue I’ve had it that the outer casing has become slightly dented? I imagine from heat/pressure, but it does not affect the cooking ability of the appliance, so I haven’t raised the issue.

This is one of my best purchases, bought it to replace a microwave rice maker, I add two cups of washed rice to 3 cups of water, (measuring cupprovided) this is the maximum I would use, switch on and leave once the rice is cooked it switches from cook to warm, at this point I switch power off and rice is perfectly cooked, can’t recommend enough and with such a low price definitely a winner

Why did you choose this product over others?:What an absolute bargain!! Struggle to cook rice on the oven? Busy life with children? Or just need more time to prep the rest of dinner? Then you need this. Perfect rice every time.I've used this a few times and the rice comes out perfect every time. I love how it goes from cook to warm once done, and it honestly does what it says!

I find the "keep warm" feature annoying because you can't walk away and leave it. You can't turn off this feature.

Superb product

The media could not be loaded. It's a cooker to prepare rice and you can make other items also with some patience and effort.The best thing I like is the two cooking bowl including one non stick. I have tried rice, khichdi, biriyani, chole, vegetables fry, omelette, boiled egg, boiled vegetables, aloo tikki, soup, kheer.Pros: 1. It prepares rice perfectly.2. Steamer is good to steam vegetables, egg without any hassle.3. Non stick cooking bowl is really good.Cons. : 1. Unexpectedly warm/cook switch shifts and you've to use jugaad hack to press or put weight over lid to shift to cooking mode.2. Very slow cooking and uneven heating (could have been improved)What you need: Patience and little extra time to cook your food with fun so as to avoid outside food while you are alone and eat self cooked healthy food. It's a slow cooking method and not to expect quick food preparation except rice.
