 fantastic bit of kitchen kit November 14, 2008

Am really pleased with my purchase of this item. I use it most days - make porridge in the morning, cook grains like quinoa and millet to make salads for my packed lunch, steam veggies and the occasional ready meal in the steamer basket and have made some really lovely winter stews on the slow cook function. I've never managed to cook quinoa in a pan, but the rice cooker does it to perfection. Am really looking forward to experimenting further with it, and will try to make polenta using the porridge function tomorrow. if it was a bit cheaper, I'd buy another one (so that I can cook my stew and my grains/veggies at the same time). The downsides are small, but the non-stick surface of the pot is VERY delicate, mine has a scratch already and if the pot goes then I won't think its such a good buy. Also the steamer basket is very shallow, so it is not such a good buy if the steaming aspect is very important to you. However - these are small complaints, and I would recommend one for every kitchen. Oh, and it's very easy and quick to clean (non-stick surface and all that!!).

I have been using this product for about six months and have found it to be excellent. It's efficient, flexible and easy to keep clean.
The alarm function and keep warm feature are really useful and the 4 cooking modes increase its utility several fold. I have never eaten more rice, porridge and rice pudding.
I also now eat a lot more vegetables because I can just clean and trim them and not have to watch a pan. This is a benefit that all steamers would give, however I find this model cooks vegetables perfectly, and the keep warm feature prevents them going soggy like veg left soaking in a pan often does. Even brussel sprouts come out firm.
My favourite discovery has been finding how much taster roast vegetables are that have been cooked in a steamer for 5 minutes prior to roasting, than those initially immersed in water or zapped in a microwave.
My last discovery will be the 4th mode - slow cooking - something to date for which I have not consider using this unit, however I'm sure it could do a hassle free stew or goulash.

Just received my Rice Cooker today & could not resist trying out tonight.
I know I have only used it once but wow. East to use rice cooked for 3 people in under 20mins to perfection. Could not belive how good it is.I've learn some Indian cooking and my rice always let the meal down. Not from now on. As previous users have said treat yourself. I took their advise and going to bed tonight pleased I did (and will get up tomorrow and go to the supermarket & stock up on Rice) This is one kitchen appliance that will get plenty of use. And at this price it is a bargin as I have seen it at 15 more elsewhere. A Must buy.
Keep it on the top..You will use it often. July 21, 2008

All too often we buy yet another gadget to add to our kitchen and then find that it disappears out of sight. This is one that I use contantly. Stew type dishes come to mind straight away because the food ends up being so tender and the taste is great because the cooking is contained in the pot. You can therefore, use the cheaper cuts of meat with great success
It is absolutely great for when you have guests. I prepare food in the slow cooker before they come and then I can then spend time enjoying the visit. Recently, we all went on a picnic and returned home to a hot supper stew with crusty bread. It was so appreciated. Another event was a party where I was nominated for producing a curry dish. I took the slo-cooker with me and it finished the cooking whilst we were all having fun.
One of the reasons I chose this model was because of the clip down lid. (My old crockpot tipped all it's contents into the boot of my car)It is not just for stew type dishes though. You can produce a whole chicken or joint of meat in it very successfully and puddings too!. There are hundreds of recipes out there on the internet under the heading of crockpot or slo-cooker so you will never be stuck for ideas. I do use the porridge maker too. In 9 minutes you have your porridge made. Just throw the ingredients in the pot press the button and hey presto!!(just time to take a shower)
Like the other owners, I have found the rice cooker great. I often make a bigger batch and freeze what I don't use on the day.
I have no hesitation in saying that this is worthy of the 5 stars that I have awarded it.
Well worth the money July 1, 2008

We brought this cooker initially for the rice cooking function but now also use it for porridge making and slow cooking. Its a great bit of kit thats so easy to use and clean and makes amazing rice! If you are looking at a slow cooker anyway spend a few more pounds and buy this one!
