Customer Review: Favorite kitchen appliance
Summary: 5 Stars
We've used our Breville Rice Cooker at least 400 times - it's still going strong. Sure, the bucket has a few dents from being dropped by now, but the way it's built it's not a problem. :-) We use it at least every other day to cook rice for our dog and once or twice a week to cook rice for ourselves.
I don't understand the reviewers who complain about the rice coming out "crispy". Huh? We've used all sorts of rice and it always comes out great as long as we mix the right amount of water for the type of rice - pretty easy.
We've gone through a couple rice cookers before this one. Both fancier with displays and all and smaller, but much more work to clean and much slower at cooking rice. This one is just insanely amazingly fast - and it's easy to clean. And as I said, the rice comes out great. Just as with any other cooking method, you have to add the appropriate amount of water. My rule of thumb is to add rice and then add water standing twice as high as the rice. If you want to measure more accurately, then take 1 1/2 to 1 3/4 cups of water for each cup of rice. More for brown rice.
With a bit of practice you'll just be tossing in some rice and some water and you'll get the measurements close enough to get good rice. It's easier than cooking an egg.
If the rice is old then let it sit and soak in water for a little while before cooking (be careful to drain it properly after).
The reviewer who had trouble with the rice making a nice is right that with some rice it will boil over and make a mess *if you don't rinse the rice first!*. Some cheaper rice is notoriously bad at this. Even with better rice it is best if you rinse it a couple times before cooking.
We had another rice cooker that broke after it boiled over because the liquids would leak inside it and harmed the electronics or some such. I don't think that could happen with this one. We did cook 40lb of some cheap red rice that made a gigantic mess if we didn't rinse it properly (and a pretty decent mess even if we did). Can't blame that on the cooker though! It is super easy to clean; no mess inside. Just clean off the pot and put the glass lid in the dishwasher. Or if you clean it right away the lid pretty much just needs a rinse.
Update: Ah, sadly in the end we did wear out our Breville rice cooker. It had gotten enough use that it's not completely unreasonable, although still disappointing.
