Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Panasonic SRG06FG 3.3-Cup Automatic Rice Cooker
Customer Review: Very Disappointed
Summary: 1 Stars
Bought this Rice Cooker for my daughter's birthday. She opened it and threw the box away. A week later she told me that it was a nice rice cooker, but that she missed the steaming basket (she steams vegetables a lot). The box indicated that it's a rice cooker/steamer and the Panasonic Web Page also indicates that the accessories included are, "Rice Scoop, Steam Basket Measuring Cup". However, the box did not contain a steam basket. Went back to the store, purchased another one and again, no steam basket. Called Panasonic and a technical support representative told me that even though the box clearly indicated rice cooker/steamer, that the steamer basket was not included with this model. I asked him how I was I supposed to steam vegetables, and he didn't have an answer. I'm pretty disappointed at Panasonic. The box should have only read "Rice Cooker" only, or should have indicated somewhere on the outside that the steam basket was not included, or available for purchase as an accessory, but instead they labeled it as Rice Cooker/Steamer. Totally deceiving!!! Don't buy this product if you want a rice cooker/steamer!!!!Customer Review: Great little rice cooker

I've had a National rice cooker for over 20 years that still works fine but has an aluminum pan. Wanted something a little smaller and non-stick. I believe Panasonic acquired National so thought I would try one of their cookers.
Received it yesterday and decided to test it right off the bat. I make a mixture of brown rice and barley, and after reading all the reviews, decided to just put in 1.5 cups of rice and 3 cups water. I have always rinsed my rice first so did that as well. Used my own measuring cups (not the one included with the cooker)and room temperature to cold water (which was necessary with my National). Plugged it in and hit the switch-I couldn't believe how quickly it cooked! It came out great with just a touch of browning on the bottom. That might have been due to 1)the grains were on the old side so might have needed more water and 2)I left the rice in the cooker longer than I usually do because I thought it might be a little undercooked.
Very pleased with my purchase-nice compact size, makes the right amount for two people and did a great job in a short amount of time.
Customer Review: Great little rice cooker and quite useful

I was looking for a rice cooker that wouldn't take up too much counter space or force me to make so much rice that I wasted food and that also made fast, tasty rice. This little cooker does all that. There are no bells and whistles, aside from the no-stick liner. But I cannot say that I've ever used it and wished for any extra thing so I'm not sure what I'm missing. I toss in rice and water, hit the button, and viola, I come back to very nicely cooked rice. We've used it to make many types of rice. I put the lid and scoop in the dishwasher and handwash the nonstick liner. This seems to be preserving the coating because we've used it a lot and still no chips. We are a family of 4 and this cooker is plenty big enough for us. It is especially handy for single servings, though. We have even added chicken and peppers to the raw rice and water and it cooked us up a tasty rice dish with no fuss. I waited to review this cooker until we'd used it for long enough to know I'd gotten my money's worth. I did, for sure. If it broke tonight I'd order another one without hesitation.Customer Review: FoolProof for the NewlyWed

This little rice cooker has been a fantastic gadget for my kitchen because I have always messed up rice one way or another.So, for the sake of saving the life of yet another pot I decided to opt for this rice cooker. It was also highly praised by my in-laws :)
I have only used this a few times but each time my rice has come out absolutely perfect. Its simplicity makes it a breeze to use. Cooking rice was once a juggling act for me but now I literally rinse the rice, dump the water and rice into the pot and set it and forget it. This is really nice because it lets me focus on the main part of dinner. Bye Bye juggling act!! The nonstick pot is great too because it makes cleanup effortless.
If you're reading this and are on the fence I hope that my review has helped ease your concern. Also, if you're getting married I definitely recommend adding it to your registry. I didn't think I needed a rice cooker along with all of the other gadgets or that it was worth the money but for this price and the results it is definitely a must have!
Customer Review: I am impressed!!!

I am rarely inspired to write product reviews but this rice cooker so far exceeds my expectations that I feel obligated to pass that information along.
I have cooked only one batch so far but it turned out extremely well. I was skeptical about the amount of water to use. It didn't seem nearly enough. This was brown rice, not white rice, so I was concerned that it would come out crunchy with so little water. I also cooked only one cup of dry rice so I was further concerned that the small quantity might be a problem. Despite those concerns, I followed the instructions to the letter.
I needn't have worried. I got the best batch of brown rice that I have ever made and I didn't have to think about it at all. I just loaded the cooker up with rice and water (after soaking the rice for 30 minutes), flipped the switch and forgot about it.
I can't vouch for the product's longevity but I'll be using it a lot so I'll be in a good position to learn how durable it is.
