When the recommended time was up, I didn't take off the lid right away; I just let the rice sit for a few minutes while I finished preparing my meal. The rice was absolutely perfect! I was really surprised, because I've tried multiple times to cook rice in the microwave using the directions on the bag of rice or recipes from the Internet, all with terrible, inedible results.
I chose to prepare a large amount of rice and had a lot left over. I put the lid on and stored the rice in my fridge, right inside the cooker! So convenient!
Everything in the set is dishwasher safe.
Even though I haven't yet used this cooker for pasta or veggies, the great results with rice make it worth the price for me already!
I eat a lot of rice because of special dietary needs, and I can tell this microwave rice cooker is going to become an indispensable kitchen tool for me. I highly recommend it! I am looking forward to cooking veggies and pasta in it, too.
The included measuring cups and spoons and the pasta measure make this set a really good value. I also think it would make a terrific gift!
My only wish is that they would make this set in some pretty colors, rather than grey, which seems kind of drab to me. A sunny yellow or trendy turquoise blue or classic red maybe? But that's a small complaint for a really reasonably-priced, immensely useful set! I'm definitely happy with my purchase!
So recently I decided to look into this witchery of making rice in the microwave. I think it the cost of the setup was only $10.00. I figured what did I have to lose. So the day arrived. Its all plastic of course since it used in the microwave. You get the main pot plus a vented lid and a second lid that goes under the vented lid. I think it releases the steam buildup from the water heating up the rice but still maintain most of the water for the rice. There's a little puddle of water that might accumulate around the rice pot but nothing to freak out about.
So cooking is fairly straight forward. You can use the measuring cup provided or use the one that comes with most rice cookers. I think the one that came with the pot is slightly smaller than the normal rice measuring cup. You can also do it old school and just measure the height of the rice you want to cook and measure the same amount of water above the rice. So if you placed 1 inch of rice in the pot, you would put 2 inches of water in the pot. Simple.
So I cooked the rice and the rice looked a little bigger than what I would find in our normal rice cooker. But the texture I noticed was more fluffy and the rice wasn't too dry or too wet. It was perfect. My wife is very particular with her rice and she loves the rice from the microwave. So 1 cup of rice takes 12 mins, and 3 cups takes 18 mins. Half the time from our regular rice cooker. I don't think we will be making rice in the main cooker unless we need to make 5-10 cups. Awesome buy.
I was looking at the 1 star reviews and some of them weren't even about the rice cooker, but of the soup on the go bowl. Not sure why Amazon would mix them up like this.
I've made instant potatoes, real mashed potatoes, basmati and jasmine rice, and even a packet of "spanish rice" with powdered seasoning -- and mine still looks brand new. IMHO, the interior if this product is EXCELLENT -- polished so smooth it has never needed more than a quick soak to remove even the oil and coloration from each dish -- easily the most non-stick "plastic" item I've encountered. I've cleaned it with a nylon dish brush repeatedly, and washed all components in the top rack of a dishwasher, and I see no sign of deterioration whatsoever. Time will tell, but for the price I'd say it can't be beat.
