Overview
Measuring rice or steel cut oats into the nonstick pan and choosing a menu is all it takes. A microcomputer adjusts the cooking flow for each grain, and the cord retracts for storage.
Specialty menus and the ability to cook a half cup make it practical for one or two people. A family that cooks large batches will need more capacity.
Who it's for
Singles, couples and small kitchens. Larger families should look at a bigger cooker.
Pros and cons
- Cooks very small batches
- Steel cut oatmeal setting
- GABA brown activation
- Fold down handle
- Hand wash only
- Warranty not listed
Performance notes
The microcomputer adjusts heat and timing per menu, which is why long grain and short grain cook differently. GABA mode holds a warm soak before cooking to activate brown rice.
