Makes dinner easy

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Received this rice cooker about 3 weeks ago and overall performance is good. This product is extremely easy to clean. It did have a smell when first used, but it went away. Also, I followed suggested measurements and they were off, but once I figured out how much water was actually needed rice came out good. This rice cooker is easy to use and I am happy with the results.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Nice Simple Rice Cooker

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've been using this rice cooker off and on for about a month now, and I'm very satisfied with the performance. It works great not only as a rice cooker, but I find myself using the steam basket as well for veggies. Being dishwasher friendly is also a nice touch, my rice has come out cooked well most of the times although I find myself adding a little bit more water then the directions state. I also like the small profile on my kitchen counter as well. This is just a No-Frills rice cooker that gets the job done. But I would definitely recommend it

I am a Rice Chef with HB's Rice Cooker & Steamer!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Two things that my family and friends will say that I am awesome at is cooking and upholstering furniture. But when it comes to cooking rice, to say that I am horrible at it is an understatement. I was so bad at cooking rice that I was also known at my local Chinese Restaurant for coming in to buy rice to go with my meal that I prepared at home. So, when I was asked to review the Hamilton Beach 16-Cup Rice Cooker & Steamer I was ecstatic. If I can prepare perfect rice using the Cooker anyone should be able to. I must admit though when I received the Cooker I let it sit for several weeks. I was totally intimidated. Finally, I decided to take it out the box and prepare a dish.
I refused to cook the basic white rice for my first test. I chose instead to do a vegetable dirty rice. I started with a pre-packaged box of dirty rice (brand name hidden) that included 1 cup of white rice and the seasoning packet. Following the box instructions, I poured and mixed the rice, the seasoning and added 2 ½ cups of water. To the rice mixture, I added ¾ cup of broccoli, ½ cup of red bell peppers, ¼ cup of carrots and onions, and 1/8 cup of celery. I did not stir the vegetables into the mixture but scattered them as I dropped the vegetables in. I placed the lid on the Cooker and placed the Cooker into the base. As the Cooker instructions stated, I pressed the cook switch down and walked away. After all, the instructions stated that the Cooker would automatically shut off when done.
Ten minutes into the cooking I could smell the aroma of the vegetable dirty rice and I could hear a click from the Cooker so I curiously walked over to look. It was bubbling away. I was impressed. Ten more minutes went by and I heard another click so I looked again. The water had decreased tremendously. Minutes later the Cooker clicked, and the light switched from Cook to Warm. It was done.
Nervous and anxious at the same time I removed the lid and voila! It looked perfect. But as we know looks can be deceiving so I spooned it out using the perfect scooping spoon that came with the Cooker. The rice WAS perfect!! It wasn’t mushy or broken and the taste was awesome!! Finally, after attempting to cook rice for years, I can finally say I cook rice well! Oh! Did I mention that you can prepare oatmeal (my favorite) and steam vegetables too? Thank you, Hamilton Beach, for this game changer. I can’t wait to prepare my next dish.
