Russell Hobbs 19750 Rice Cooker and Steamer, 1.8L, Silver

Product Information

The real seller here is that you can also saute, steam, slow cook and so much more from the same pot, so it really does give you the benefit of having a rice cooker and more, without drowning in kitchen appliances. We measure the time taken to cook both two scoops of long grain rice and then two scoops of short-grain white rice – common, inexpensive types of rice that are found in almost all supermarkets. Using the cup measure included, simply pop the desired amount of rice and right amount of water into the pot, put the lid on a set it going in your microwave. Read the instructions This is a step many will be tempted to skip, but it's very important as no two rice cookers are the same. Once the bowl is filled with water and rice and you’ve started the cooking process, the heating element boils the water.

And, once you’re done, let the dishwasher take care of everything - thanks to the dishwasher-safe, removable, non-stick bowl and glass lid. To measure that, we weigh the bowl for each rice cooker filled with enough short-grain rice for two people and the appropriate amount of water before cooking. There are also plenty of video reviewers on sites like YouTube, where content creators dive into the nitty gritty on everything from microphones, laptops, and even washing machines. All should at least be able to cook white, basmati and brown/wholegrain rice; however, some can also cook other types, such as risotto or sushi rice. You can also steam, bake cakes and slow cook in the Bamboo Induction, making it a truly multifunctional cooker.As part of our ongoing quality monitoring program, we’ve identified an issue with a small number of our Irons and a Kettle that may carry a risk.

We cook supermarket own-brand white basmati rice and wholegrain rice in each rice cooker, always following the rice cooker's instructions on water-to-rice ratios (where given). However, it didn’t negatively affect the rice as long as we left it to sit for a few minutes after fluffing. We couldn’t ascertain whether the rice was more nutrient-dense during testing, but its texture was noticeably softer and it certainly had a slightly different taste. Among some of the cheaper rice cookers we tested, we found that the lip of the cooking pot was often exposed during cooking, and because it makes direct contact with the heating element, it was prone to getting very hot when cooking.

Grest rice cooker My Rice cooker stopped working but as we were so used it only using a rice cooker I needed a replacement, after collection we used izt straight away. Useful indicator lights for when the rice cooker is cooking or on the keep-warm setting are a plus, and the more straightforward it is to switch on, the better.
