Elite Gourmet ERC003B Electric Rice Cooker with Automatic Keep Warm Makes Soups, Stews, Grains, Hot Cereals, 6 Cups Cooked (3 Cups Uncooked), Black

I hate cooking rice on the stove. So I got this rice cooker and it has been a game changer. I absolutely love it! It comes with a measuring cup and spoon. It also automatically switches from "cook" to "warm," so you don't have to worry about keeping your eye on it. It does not shut off automatically though. Which I let it sit for a couple of minutes on warm before I unplug it. If you let it sit too long on warm, the rice will start to burn to the bottom of the insert pot. But if you unplug it and allow it start cooling down, you shouldn't have any problem with rice sticking to it at all. It is also very easy to clean and small enough to store that it doesn't take up too much space in my cabinet or on my counter. It is easy to use. You measure the rice with the cup provided, add the same about of water to the rice, cover, and push the switch down to cook. It's that easy! As long as you measure everything with the provided cup, you'll have perfectly cooked rice every time.

Absolutely love my rice steamer. The steamer is not to big and not to small for a family of two. The steamer cooks my rice super fast. I would definitely recommend this rice steamer.

This does work pretty good, but my rice always scorched in the pan with it. It is a good set and forget it cooker tho.

Love my Rice Cooker. Beware it is not non-stick. I used to have a non-stick and it became damaged to where it was sticking bad, so I bought this one and I do not worry so much about scraping it...it sticks even though I use oil and butter, but I just dump out the rice when it is cooked, scrape out the excess and fill with water and soak for a while, comes right out of the pan after wet. Less stress than trying not to damage a non-stick pot, which is about impossible! This one, you cannot hurt it. Works so good, so effortless to use.

I didn't get this for rice; rather, I got it to melt beeswax, so I got the cheapest one I could find. I didn't have the time to melt the beeswax so I actually tried it for cooking rice and was I pleasantly surprised. It's not fancy but it does the job. It has done so well that I have kept using it as a rice cooker. It definitely as some quirks, but overall it works well.As with any of these rice cookers they have their own measuring device. So, you can't just put in 1/2 cup of rice and cups of water. You have to use their "international rice measuring tool". It tells you this up front, but the goofiness of it didn't strike me until I got it and then forgot where I put the little measuring cup. This is not just a drawback of this cooker, it's the same with all of them. Evidently there is some fancy international standard for how to cook rice. So,here's a trick. Just put in a cup of rice and then put water in until it is over the rice by one finger tip. Just stick your finger in and if it comes up to the first joint you are good to go. It has some different criteria for brown rice, but I just ignore that and go with the finger method.The other annoying thing is that there is no automatic shut off or alarm when the rice is cooked. It just has an On switch and it's either cooking or "keep warm". If you don't turn it off the rice will be a bit burnt down at the bottom. This is a minor annoyance and I just set a timer for 15 minutes so it's definitely not a deal breaker.So,if you want a great value on a rice cooker give this one a dance. It does a great job and it doesn't cost an arm and a leg. It's definitely something I would buy again and hopefully it will work well onthe bees wax too, but when I use it for bees wax it's no longer going to be useful for rice so I'll just buy another one.

Worked great til it didn’t. Purchased early feb and worked well. No self shut off. Had it for two months and then it suddenly died in the middle of cooking rice. The pot was still warm so I decided to keep it on for a little longer to see if just the light broke. But came back to it 30 mins later and even though it has condensation and was still warm. The rice did not end up cooking. Too late for Amazon customer service so I guess I’m SOL…

Great product daughter loves it

It does cook rice very well but as other reviews have said it burns rice quickly if not removed from the pot as soon as its done. And as far as the pot being non stick, nope. Not a bit. I'm still soaking the pot to try and get the bottom clean. But overall for the price its a good buy for me. I'll just have to keep a closer eye on it and not trust the "warm" setting
