The best rice cooker we've used....
We've used several brands of rice cookers, all claiming to be good. One caught on fire after two months, another lasted only a year before it simply stopped working all together.
When we spotted the Rival cooker at a local store, we bought it based on the name. I've used Rival crockpots since my college days, and have never had a problem with them.
This cooker does the job, and does it well. We've had ours for just over two years, and the non-stick bowl has only now started to show wear. We mainly cook brown rice, with only the occasional white rice meal.
We like the larger capacity bowl. Though we could get along with a smaller bowl, this one allows us to add things in or various recipes, and the warming option keeps the meal nicely warmed.
We plan to replace our current rice cooker with the exact same model.
**My only issue with the 10-cup cooker has been the smaller bowl. If you're like me and sometimes add other ingredients...
Good rice BUT......
I have been making rice with this cooker for 2 months now. It spews starchy boiling rice water on my counter every time I make rice. But,, I like the rice it makes. It is much better than what I made on the stove top. I was considering returning this cooker and getting another, as I checked the reviews, I found that many others had this same problem. I have decided to keep it; I worked out a little system of putting down 3 paper towels on the counter and when the cooking is done, I wrap up the mess and throw it in the garbage.
My Rival has no rival!
My Rival has no rival!
I had the smaller Rival Rice Cooker and LOVED it. I have been wanting the larger one, but could not justify replacing my perfectly good little one.
Welllll as fate would have it, I dropped the lid. It shattered. I now really do need a new rice cooker. I have decided to replace it with this Rival 10-cup rice cooker.
Even though I dropped and broke the glass lid, I prefer glass lids (on all my pots and pans).
I make rice ALL the time... ALL kinds of rice. I have never had a problem with cooking any variety in my Rival rice cooker.
Lots of people complain about the starchy water spewing forth from the lid. I learned many years ago to rinse the rice before cooking. The traditional Japanese
way is to rinse three times. Believe me, I do and it works. Absolutely NO starchy-watery mess. Some prefer putting the rice in a strainer and running it under cold
water. I don't like to waste water so I put the rice in the cooker bowl,...
