ERC006SS 6-Cup Electric Rice Cooker with Stainless Steel Inner Pot, Makes Soups, Stews, Porridges, Grains and Cereals, 6 cup (3 cups uncooked), Black

I purchased this rice cooker after having a much bigger, expensive digital cooker for almost 10 years but the inner pot became so scratched overtime that it needed to be replaced. After shopping around I realize that almost all rice cookers come with a coated, nonstick bowl. I began searching for a more durable and healthy stainless steel bowl and this is what I found. Its much smaller and simpler than my previous model and Id like to compare the two. This cooker with the stainless steel bowl only has two settings, once you plug it in the unit is set to warm, when the bowl is placed inside you can switch on the cook option. It cooks two cups of uncooked rice in max, about 20 min- which is WAY faster than my last rice cooker. The bowls in regards to stuck on food is exactly the same, not less or more, which I thought the steel bowl would be worse but its not at all. The key is to scrape the bowl and fluff the rice once its done cooking, the longer it sits the more it sticks. The lack of bells and whistles is actually pretty great, as the last cooker had 8 settings, (I actually baked a few cakes in it), but its just not necessary at all, all I want is rice. The simplicity makes it very easy to clean; theres just two parts, the lid and the bowl. The digital cooker had an attached lid that had to be wiped clean with a cloth but also had a silicone lip around it and a steam vent that wasn't removable, so to be thorough it had to sit open for hours to allow any hidden moisture to dry up. An open rice cooker was always sitting out on my counter waiting to be put away once it was finally dry. The older cooker also had an excess water collector on the side of the machine that began to leak. But that old cooker did keep rice warm for the entire day. I assume that because of the steam valve on the lid of newer cooker that it will eventually dry out if left on warm all day. Its so small that it can be stored almost anywhere, and theres no plastic, which I love. The only issue is the flimsy and cheap scoop and measuring cup that actually came broken but I would've thrown them out anyway due to the poor quality. Overall I love the new rice cooker with the stainless steel bowl, its easy to clean and does a great job. I wouldn't make more than 2 cups of rice in it but its perfect for what I need.

use this everyday! What I love about this rice cooker is a couple of things. I love the removable Lid, makes it easy to clean and wash. I love the stainless steel pot. It is easy to clean and no toxins. I wish the plastic outside would be ceramic but for the price it is what it is. I have had the big rice cooker pots that are all one piece with all the programing and they were so hard to clean. This my 8 year old can clean and I feel confident that I will not need to rewash it. If you like to make things in advance the downside is that this only has a warm and cook setting. You can't preset and walk away. You have to make and cook at the time you would like to eat. This rice cooker capacity is 3 cups, but the rice at the top is kind of dry. I would say the max capacity 2.5 cups of dry rice. It takes about 30min to cook with cold water. It comes with rice spoon to serve. I have been using this for a year and couldn't be happier. Super easy to use, my kids make the rice now. Wash the rice, add to the rice cooker, the add water (or other items) and press cook. Easy. I have cooked vegetables and noodles in it and it turned out well.

Easy to use and cooks rice perfectly Review: I’ve been using this electric rice cooker and it works very well for everyday use. It’s compact, simple to operate, and cooks rice evenly without much effort. The rice comes out soft and well-cooked, and I like that it keeps it warm after cooking, which is very convenient when I’m not eating right away. Cleaning is also easy since the inner pot is non-stick. It’s the perfect size for small households or single users. The only downside is that it’s a basic model, so it doesn’t have advanced settings, but it does exactly what it’s supposed to do. Overall, I think it’s a great and affordable rice cooker for daily meals.

Recieved the rice cooker on time. Came packaged nicely. Easy to use, just measure and turn on to "cook". It shuts off when rice is cooked. Don't need a timer or fuzting around with it. However, I've only cooked brown rice. I only eat brown rice. The directions said to rice THOROUGHLY, which I did. The first batch was a bit under cooked with the 2 cups of water they suggested for 1 cup of rice. The second time I forgot to rinse and it makes a HUGE mess. So I turned it off dumped the water and rinsed the rice in a mesh colander. It still made a mess. I also add just a little bit more water in hoped the second batch would be softer. When it was "done" and cut off, there was still a little bit of water in the bottom, but I let it sit for a long time and it absorbed the water. I guess I'll keep it hopes of finding a easy method for brown rice. I have never been able to cook a batch of brown rice so cross my fingers that I will figure this machine out.

I grew up on a rice farm and rice makers were a must. I saw some reviews where they said it was messy or not cook through. That's just not true. Make sure to wash your rice good. Rinse well and get that water clear. Put in your 2 or 3 cups of rice. My trick is that when I put the water in I use my index finger to measure, the water level should be right on the first finger crease from the tip. It's not rocket science. My rice came out so beautifully. Perfect texture. Cooked through and was a wonderful addition to my meal. The pot washed very easily. No scrubbing or sticking really. Just soak it for a minute then wash. No problems at all. The trick is that when your rice is cooked. Unplug your machine. Don't sit there and think you can leave it on warm all day and it not continue to cook or burn on warm. It's a nice little piece of equipment! I'm very glad I got it, regardless of what other reviews said. I'm very happy with my purchase.

Great rice cooker for a small family. The stainless steel pot is solid and heavy. It is extremely easy to clean . Just make sure the cooked rice sits unplugged for 10 to 15 minutes. Use a soft sponge with soap and the pan is totally cleaned.

Can’t believe how easy it is to use and how great of rice it make. Does stick to the bottom a little but what do you expect with stainless. And you can scrape the bottom unlike nonstick rice cookers.

Just a heads up for anyone considering this — it's advertised as a 6-cup rice cooker, but that's cooked rice. You're only getting 3 cups of uncooked rice, which is fine for one or two people but won't cut it for a larger family. That said, for the price, it does its job. The rice comes out evenly cooked and the stainless steel inner pot is a huge plus over the non-stick pots you get with cheaper models. I've also used it for oatmeal in the mornings and it works great. It's nothing fancy — no digital display, no fancy settings — just a basic switch and that's it. If you're a college student or cooking solo on a budget, this gets the job done. Just go in with realistic expectations.

Mucha desilusión porque lo utilicé 3 veces literalmente y sin mas dejó de funcionar. Ya han pasado los días de devolución y no compré el seguro. He intentado varias veces buscar el soporte técnico de la empresa y no he tenido éxito. Realmente es terrible este producto y también la empresa q lo fabrica.

Not cooking perfect rice as it got burnt at the bottom if you kept on Warm

Llegó en tiempo y forma, muy protegida, me gusta, la uso poco pero hasta ahora la uso como vaporera y arrocera, gracias.

Delivered today and used it this evening to make dinner. I washed the bowl, lid, etc per the provided instruction booklet with warm, soapy water (always do this unless you want factory grease on your food!). Using the provided "rice" cup (which is not a metric cup, the instructions clearly state this), I measured out my brown rice and water. I threw my raw salmon portions on-top to stream with the rice. Took awhile, but that's typical of brown rice, and it was fluffy and delicious. This is a set it and forget it device (it switches from cook to "warm" once all the water is gone). Didn't make a sound though, when it was finished cooking; so, that's my only complaint with this device (it can finish and you not realize, which is annoying if you're hungry and waiting). Once I get familiar with timing this won't be an issue. Rice did stick to the bottom (typical stainless steel), but I just soaked it after scooping out all the rice, and it was very easy to clean. I've gotten rid of anything non-stick coated in my home; so, I love that this has a stainless steel bowl. Perfect size for dinner. I bought for $44CAD, but I still find that overpriced for such a simple device. Considering it is so simple, hopefully it lasts a long time. Anyway, really happy with my purchase.

Muito linda e eficiente.
