$99 not bad.. Tefal good brand also. In the end what matters is rice quality and balance of rice + water and whether got pre-soak or not

Does brand of rice matter in a high price rice cooker?

Your rice quality make more difference than the quality of the rice cooker.

This will be my first attempt, can I cook basmati rice in a rice cooker on 1 to 1.2 ration of water, any advise is appreciated.

If the rice is cook for a jiakliaobee, World No.1 rice cooker also useless.

Really depends on you. If you cook everyday then it is worth to get one.

In Singapore we get high quality rice so not really, variety makes a bigger difference. I prefer calrose rather than jasmine hom mali

Zoji also use pfoa non stick chems (or similar changed name chems), harmful for health. If it's non stick, it's chems

Chems are same family as ship hull paint

Get taobao 100% ceramic better, cooks slower, rice will stick but no cancer

Ceramics take very long to cook. Good ?

I am now using stainless rice cooker. Really waste a lot of rice. As we did not eat together then it dried up when we keep warm so not good to use.

Using Philips rice cooker. Bought at $79/$89 cant really remember. So far so good. Lasts > 10yrs liow I think rice quality and new/old rice makes a difference more than rice cooker itself. E.g new rice needs less water and old rice more water. If u put wrong amt of water then the cooked rice wont turn out well too.

i got the basic zojirushi model... bought 7-8 years ago.. the lcd screen gone liao... otherwise all ok..

thinking of DIY change but like damn mafan...

Dont buy la gourmet multi-function cooker. Overpriced and cannot work properly.

Auto 24hour warm function can burn out the exterior layer of rice.

Taste better
But have to adjust preparation time
Market is flooded with non stick (cancer) , aluminium (Alzheimer's)
Alternatives are ceramic, steel, copper, earthen wares, or steamed rice

If using non stick or alum
Don't wash rice inside the pot
Wash rice using another pot first
Never scratch the non stick or alum coating
The chems or alum will leach into rice

Washing ceramic pot need to wait cool off first

 

[hotamp]

actually beside cooking rice do ppl actually used the other functions of the cooker
