Customer Review: NOT WHAT I THOUGHT IN FUNCTION AND TASTE/TEXTURE OF RICE
Summary: 3 Stars
Didn't buy this from Amazon.com but from another internet vendor. SO EAGER TO USE THIS RICE COOKER when it first arrived and after 3 weeks of use, stowed it away and switched back to my old Zojirushi rice cooker which inner pot is peeling badly and will get the inner pot replace soon.
Didn't know that cooking rice is such a big thing till I own this Miracle Exclusive Rice Cooker! Been cooking rice using Japanese rice cooker since I know how to cook rice as a teenager, being an Asian. This rice cooker reminded me of the one that my mom used 3 decades ago minus the steamer part. My mom likes to use Panasonic product which is considered a high end product in South East Asia. Anyway, I don't mind about the look of this rice cooker but the flavor and texture of the rice coming out from this s/s inner pot rice cooker, does take a while to get used to.
First, the rice is not fluffy but coarse and there is no rice aroma compared to the rice cooked by the Zojirushi teflon coated rice cooker. Then, to prevent spluttering, I had to use the steamer portion so that the bubbling steaming rice water will be trapped inside. Next, rice always STICK to the bottom of the rice cooker even though I unplug it immediately after the rice is cooked. I even standby the minute the rice is cooked, unplug and quickly "STIR" the rice so it won't stick BUT IT STILL STICK and sometimes, I am able to make the rice not stick to the bottom after I stirred, most of the times, I can't..maybe, I had yet to learn the trick of using this rice cooker that has a s/s inner pot.
HONESTLY, called me a Die Hard Teflon Coated Rice Cooker person or whatever, the hassles associated w/ using this s/s inner pot rice cooker for 3 weeks just worn out my patience but due to the call of being HEALTHY, I sticked my neck through till on the 4th week, my husband told me that he miss eating the fluffy rice made by our old rice cooker and took out the old Zojirushi rice cooker and cooked himself the rice he craved for. Seeing how much he ENJOYS eating the rice from Zojirushi rice cooker that I have no choice but to switch back to Zojirushi though will need to replace the inner pot for $32 plus S&H from Zojirushi website or pay $100 for a brand new unit of Zojirushi. If I had known how user unfriendly this Miracle Exclusive Rice Cooker is, I wouldn't have bought this Miracle Rice Cooker.
So, if you are considering whether to buy or not, just because the inner pot is made of stainless steel and it is healthy to do so, IMHO, ask yourself are you very particular about the taste of rice that you normally get from those Japanase made rice cooker. If you are a DIE HARD fluffy rice person like my husband who grown on rice made by Zojirushi rice cooker, think twice before jumping on this Miracle Exclusive Rice Cooker. Yes, being Healthy is important but as someone did mention that teflon coated inner pot is harmful when it start to peel or when the heat is above certain level. To prevent peeling, ALWAYS USE plastic or wooden spatula AND NOT METAL UTENSIL to scoop rice in the teflon coated inner pot AND REPLACE THE INNER POT AS SOON AS IT START TO PEEL. Had to admit that IT IS EXPENSIVE TO REPLACE THE INNER POT SINCE THE COST OF INNER PORT IS 1/3 of the price of a brand new unit BUT for your own health, BETTER NOT TAKE A CHANCE. Going w/ teflon coated inner pot rice cooker is SO USER FRIENDLY AND THE TASTE & TEXTURE OF RICE IS AROMATIC AND FLUFFY that I don't believe this Miracle Rice Cooker can beat. Am not sure what made the rice taste better in teflon coated inner pot of Zojirushi and also the no hassle of water spluttering and rice sticking to the bottom when ycooking rice.
