Never too late!
on September 12, 2026
Posted by: TondriaR
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.]  Rice is something that is very easy to cook. But a lot of times I will seem to mess that up. Because it’s so simple and I would mess it up sometimes, I didn’t understand what was wrong. I love a good kitchen gadget, but I never thought I would use a rice cooker. This has been a game changer and is so much better than a pot in the stove.

Easy to use and great for large batches, this rice cooker consistently makes fluffy, evenly cooked rice while the steamer adds extra versatility.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Hamilton Beach 30-Cup Rice Cooker and Steamer has worked very well for making both small and large batches of rice. The rice comes out evenly cooked, fluffy, and tender without being overly wet or mushy. I was especially impressed that there were very few undercooked or crunchy grains, even when making a larger batch.
It heats up quickly and automatically switches to the keep-warm setting when the rice is finished. The keep-warm function does a good job of keeping the rice hot and ready to serve without immediately drying it out or causing it to stick excessively to the bottom.
The steaming basket is another nice feature. Vegetables come out tender while still maintaining some texture instead of becoming overly soft or waterlogged. Being able to steam food while the rice cooks also makes it easy to prepare more of a complete meal in one appliance.
The large 30-cup capacity is great for family gatherings, parties, meal prepping, or cooking for a crowd, but it is still simple enough to use for everyday meals. Cleanup is easy with the removable cooking pot.
Overall, I have been very pleased with the cooking results. It consistently produces fluffy, evenly cooked rice with very little effort, and the added steaming function makes it much more versatile than a basic rice cooker.

Perfect rice
on September 9, 2026
Posted by: JessicaK
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Hamilton Beach 30 cup Rice cooker and steamer is an awesome small kitchens appliance. It is so easy to use with only 1 switch to turn it on. Its also great that once it completes it cycle, it turn the pot on warm to keep the rice warm. I love that I can make a huge portion of rice with my steamed veggies on top. The steamer basket makes the rice cooker my all in one dinner cooker. My rice has never turned out so perfect before and I love it. Overall, I am so excited that I was able to add this to my kitchen appliance collection and cook some great rice.

Great for my meal prepping
on September 9, 2026

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This rice cooker and steamer is very generously sized. It is bare bones and simple, which means operation and cleaning are a breeze as well. The large size is perfect for meal prepping because now I only need to make one batch of rice, saving me a little bit of time on Sundays. The only thing I would change is having a stainless steamer with handles because my current cooker has that and it is a lot easier to pull out. Otherwise, this rice cooker is durable and perfect for my needs.

Steams rice andveggies to perfection
on September 9, 2026

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’m loving my Hamilton Beach 30 Cup Rice Cooker and Steamer. It’s user friendly, and I can add water and rice, add my veggies to the steamer basket, set it to cook, and go about preparing the rest of my meal without having to constantly check on it. 
My rice turns out fluffy and moist, and my veggies seemed to perfection every time. The worm setting is a handy feature, so I don’t have to worry about my rice and veggies getting cold as the rest of my food is getting done. I appreciate that. It includes a divider for the steamer, measuring cup, and rice paddle. There’s even a convenient, built in, holder on the unit for the rice paddle. Clean up is easy, all the removable parts are dishwasher safe. My only complaint is that I wish the power cord was a little bit longer. Overall, it’s a nice cooker that saves me time.

Really Handy and Convenient!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’m so glad I got this! I love that it doubles as both a rice cooker and a steamer. It comes with a measuring cup, rice paddle, and a divider for the streaming tray, which is super convenient for keeping different foods separate. The clear glass lid makes it easy to keep an eye on everything, and the nonstick pot is definitely a plus for easy cleanup!

Easiest dinner
on September 8, 2026
Posted by: LaceyC
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Could this have made dinner any easier?? The answer is no. The rice was perfect, the chicken was perfect, and the broccoli was perfect. Ialso loved the food separater. Everybody lives out and there wasn't anything left. I put the rice in the bottom with some water. Then, i added the seasoned chicken and cooked it for 20 minutes. After 20 minutes I added the broccoli for another 10 minutes. Three only complaint, it's really difficult to get the steamer basket out when the food is done. There isn't anywhere to grab it.
