Overview
No cord, no motor: the KitchenCraft KCRICECOOK is a 1.5-liter microwave rice cooker and steamer that circulates steam inside your microwave to cook rice, couscous or quinoa, made of BPA-free plastic and dishwasher safe.
Because it relies on your microwave for heat rather than its own element, it has no controls and nothing to plug in, which is the main trade-off against a standalone electric rice cooker. The listing states cooking in 15 minutes or less, though actual time will vary with your microwave's wattage and the volume of rice.
- 1.5-liter capacity, cooks up to 6 servings
- BPA-free plastic, dishwasher safe
- Works in any standard microwave
- 12-month warranty, includes spatula and measuring cup
Who it's for
Suits anyone short on counter space or outlets who already uses a microwave regularly, wanting a lighter, simpler alternative to an electric rice cooker for small batches. Less suited to households cooking rice for more than about 6 people or wanting hands-off electric operation.
Pros and cons
- No cord or outlet needed, runs off your microwave
- Compact and light compared to electric cookers
- Dishwasher safe with included spatula and measuring cup
- Cook time depends on your microwave's wattage
- No keep-warm or timer function like electric models
- Capacity limited to about 6 servings
Performance notes
The vessel works by trapping and circulating steam from the rice and water inside the microwave rather than through its own heat source, which the listing says cooks rice in under 15 minutes. It can also prepare couscous and quinoa, and holds enough for up to 6 servings of white, brown, or basmati rice.
