Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Rival RC61 6-Cup Rice Cooker, Red
Customer Review: Don't waste your money on this rice cooker!
Summary: 1 Stars
This is a simple case of getting what you paid for. This rice cooker is a piece of garbage. The heating element heats up way too much, causing excessive bubbling which ends up spattering out the steam exhaust hole. If you leave it on the "cook" setting and wait for it to pop up itself, then count on having burnt rice. The only way I've been able to get it to cook rice properly is to prop the lid open and then manually flipping the switch to "warm" after about 5 minutes. It's less hassle to just cook the rice in a regular pot. Spend a few more bucks on a rice cooker that will work.Customer Review: great rice cooker, reasonable price
Summary: 4 Stars
I have had this rice cooker for about a year now. I have used both the steamer and rice cooker functions of it and it works great every time. It's also quite easy to clean. As others have mentioned you do get a little starch out of the venting hole, but I haven't noticed it being a huge problem, and I usually just plug it in next to the sink and turn the hole so that it points that way.
I have never had rice come out any way other than perfectly cooked with this rice cooker, and I am terrible at making rice on the stovetop, so it was a perfect purchase for me. :)
Customer Review: Great value & performance!
Summary: 5 Stars
My family and I have been impressed with this attractive and inexpensive rice cooker. Very easy to use...simply put the rice and water in and press cook. The cooker pops off cook cycle and keeps rice on warm cycle until ready to serve. The unit also comes with a steamer you can opt to place on top to steam veggies while the rice is cooking. Perfect rice every time (add a little extra water when making brown rice). Easy to clean the non-stick pan. Occupies little room to store in cabinet...and can highly recommend as a small kitchen applicance that will be used often.Customer Review: I love my cute lil red rival rice cooker
Summary: 4 Stars
The reason why I give this 4 not 5 stars is because it huffs and puffs with so much steam during cooking that it's a bit noisy and sometimes foams up around the lid and makes the counter a bit messy. I guess that is what it takes, however, to cook rice well. It is DIFFICULT to cook good rice, so I have found, using the stovetop method. I am glad to have my lil red rival because it does a way better job that I can, and it's easy to clean, and it's very, very cute. Adorable. And inexpensive. And it hides away easily into the cupboard when I don't need it. I love it.Customer Review: Rival RC61 3-Cup Rice Cooker
Summary: 5 Stars
This rice cooker works great with white, brown and boxed rice mixes.
I also cook orzo in it.
Don't spend money on a more expensive one.
It is ideal for 2-4 people.
I use broth and 2 tsp of oil for 1 cup of white rice I do not rinse the rice it does not build up with the starch bubbles as the picture shows.
But if you only use water with the cup of white rice the starch bubbles will make a small mess easy to clean up.
I think it's the salt in the broth and the oil that breaks up the bubbles.
Well worth the money.
