I can't believe I lived without a rice cooker for all these years! The mini rice cooker is perfect for our 2-person household - it stores easily in a small space and is easy to use.
Works well, we wanted a basic rice cooker that also can be used as a steamer. The steam does spout everywhere, but read a tip to cover the whole with the rice spoon.

We are so happy to hear that this rice cooker fit your needs. As for the steam issue, this can happen if there is too much excess starch in the rice, or too much water has been added. First, we recommend rinsing the rice really well to make sure all the excess starch is removed. The water should run somewhat clear. Then be sure to follow the water lines in the pan corresponding to the number of cups of rice you are cooking.

Perfect small size for our small family. Easy to use; no confusing digital display or multiple buttons. Just click one button and wait for perfectly fluffy rice everytime.
I purchased this with all the great reviews thinking it was just what I needed bit it doesn't work. The rice is still hard. We eat rice everyday day with dinner.

Thank you so much for sharing your experience with your rice cooker! We appreciate your feedback. This model is one of our most basic rice cookers and doesn't have automatic soaking or steaming features. These two steps are important in achieving perfectly cooked rice. For best results, we recommend soaking white rice for 30 minutes before cooking and leaving the lid closed for 15 minutes after cooking to let the rice fully cook and fluff up. That way, you'll get perfectly cooked rice every time!
