I'm not picky or a rice snob, and all I ask of a rice cooker is that it makes decent, edible rice. I bought this rice cooker after my cheapo White-Westinghouse one (which was really great!) finally stopped working, and was very disappointed. The lid sputtered and spat, which is something I'd be willing to overlook if the rice was okay, but it was substandard - it came out tough and slightly burned on the bottom and overcooked and mushy on the top. | 2 | 801 days ago | It's Good but Has Bad Points, Too
My husband and I constantly argue over my rice cooker. He doesn't like it and wants to get a new one, and I like it. It's not as bulky as others, it cooks a great deal of rice, and it cleans up very quickly. It's also very easy to use -- my 9 year old has no problem: just add water, rice, plug it in. But then there's the other side. Although you are supposedly able to leave it alone, you do need to stir the rice every now and then to make sure it doesn't stick and burn. Also, the lid gets very very hot, and you have to worry about setting it down somewhere it won't break or be overly cooled and crack. It cooks faster than the guidelines say, also, so you have to watch the time. But other than that it's fine. I've never had a problem with overheating or parts melting or anything, and I have had mine for several years. It's a trusty hardworking little machine, but it's probably not for everyone. | 3 | 801 days ago | I like it
This is the only rice cooker I have owned, so I can't compare it to others. But I can tell you that my experience with it has been good. Basically, what I wanted was rice like I get at the take-out Chinese restraunt I go to. Sticky, tasty, white rice. You just can't accomplish this kind of rice on the stovetop. I've tried, came close, but no cigar. The first few times I used my ricemaker, I was dissapointed - only to find out I wasn't making the rice correctly. You have to follow the directions IN the box of the ricemaker, not on the bag of rice. After I got my directions right, I've been able to make hassle-free, perfect rice. It's cheap, easy and relatively fast. What more could you want? ... mine does not bubble over at all. It honestly makes fantastic rice all the time. | 4 | 801 days ago | Not a great choice
After seeing my friend's rice cooker I was excited to buy one. There are two basic models: the "sealed" type and the types like this one, which just have a lid. I bought this one because it was cheaper, but the sealed ones work much better and are well worth the money. This one bubbles up and I have to keep the lid propped open. It's messy and for this reason I don't use it very often. I'm going to buy a sealed one and I suggest the same for you. | 2 | 801 days ago | Don't waste your money
I got this one as a wedding present. Less than a year later, it overheated and melted its foot. I sent it back to Salton and eventually received a new one. Less than a year later, the new one overheated. Save your house from burning down and buy yourself a better one. | 1 | 801 days ago |
