Perfect Rice Cooker! August 21, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I recently purchased this Sanyo rice cooker and have been very satisfied. I have used it for making regular white rice, as well as rinse-free rice (eg. Uncle Ben's), and it has made perfect rice. As well as using water for the cooking liquid, I often use a good chicken stock instead, to give the rice extra flavor.
My favorite use for the cooker is to use a rinse-free rice, add chicken stock according to the cooker's directions (I do prefer to use the "one-quarter more liquid method"--see rice cooker directions for more info), and, after adding the liquid, putting in some chopped onion and/or other fresh vegetables such as celery and carrots, with a little salt and pepper. This makes a wonderful, healthy side-dish for any meal!
Since everyone has their own preferences for type and texture of their cooked rice, it is wonderful that this particular cooker has enough versatility and features to accommodate many tastes and preferences.
I have not yet tried to make brown rice, but I am looking forward to using the cooker for that type of rice, also. This is definitely worth the few extra dollars it costs, and it comes with a nice little cook book, as well, with some interesting recipes. The size is nice, also, as it can make a good amount of rice if needed, certainly enough to satisfy most families.
Great device, don't think twice. July 26, 2008
I've had this rice cooker for about 6 months, and it is truly great. It's easy to use and clean. It is very versatile. The rice is great. Fill it in the morning and it is done when you get home. Forget about the rice and it keeps it warm and good for hours. It's very easy and painless to make good brown rice. I use it a lot to have my steel cut oatmeal ready in the morning. I've used it as a slow cooker and it works well. The extra pot for slow cooking is a nice feature, so you don't mess up the non stick "rice pot". Unless you need alot of rice, the 5 cup is fine. I agonized a bit about the high end features, like pressure cooking, or gamma gobba of the other rice cookers. I think that is b.s. Do your self a favor and get the Rice Cooker Cookbook, to explain the types of rice their proportions in cooking and to extend your range. I've made rice puddings and risottos that were great and super easy. I went to San Francisco and bought all sorts of premium japanese rices. I couldn't tell the difference between most of them. They did have better texture than the very cheap cal rose rices, but among them they were not noticibly different to this foodie.
Great Rice Cooker May 30, 2008
Sanyo ECJ-HC55H 5-1/2-Cup Micro-Computerized Rice Cooker and Slow Cooker, Grey
I was looking for a good modern-looking slowcooker. I got that plus a really sweet rice cooker. This product is easy to use & clean. It's compact & sleek looking. My husband & I got some giggles beacause it looks kinda like an old-school boom box. No music, tho. I have not made tofu yet because I have not found a source for the "nigari" stuff. Overall, we're really pleased. The only thing that would improve the machine...would be if it went grocery shopping & prepared all the ingredients for cooking for me. ;-)
Powerful and stylish rice cooker! April 21, 2008

We chose this rice cooker for several reasons. The reviews of this product and its differently colored brother products were excellent. The comparable Zojiruishi cookers were good as well but slightly more expensive. Cooking rice in this is a breeze - a must have for busy families on the go. My favorite option is the 24 hour timer - I can set it in the morning to have perfect rice waiting for my dinner when I get home from work and don't feel like cooking. And the rice? Comes out perfect every time!!! Not a single burnt or stuck to the pot grain so far. Just follow the instructions and that's it! Though it is just the husband and myself we got the 5.5 cup cooker because we will use if for dinner parties and future children. And it is plenty enough for that - I would not recommend a bigger size unless you are running a restaurant! Most days I put 1 cup dry rice in for the two of us and it is perfect, if not a little too much for us. The separate pot and inner lid for slow cooking is an excellent idea. Our kitchen is all black/stainless steel and this was the closest rice cooker to that theme that had great reviews. This is an excellent appliance and well worth the money!
