Sunpentown NY-636 3-4/5-Liter Chinese Herbal Medicine Cooker with Stainless Heater Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I've been using this to cook Chinese Herbal Medicine for a few months now. I used to use a ceramic pot to cook the medicine. This unit is much easier to cook. You plug and let it do its job. The ceramic pot is easier to clean and costs $5.99. This unit you cannot put into a dishwasher due to electronic components being part of the unit. One time I was rinsing the unit trying to clean it and the water got onto the base and the unit stop working for 24 hours ... until it was dry again. Normally this does not happen if you clean it carefully.
This unit works by cooking the medicine until the water level drops to a certain point. Then it switches to warm mode. This often takes 1.5 to 2 hours for the medicine I cook. However the herbalist whom I get my medicine from says to cook it only for 30 minutes after it boils and not to exceed 40 minutes. Well since he is an OMD, and a former professor of the Beijing College of Traditional Chinese Medicine, I'll take his word for it. I have to use kitchen timer and then un-plug this unit after 45 minutes (15 minutes before it boils + 30 minutes of boil).

Pasta Express Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I got this for Christmas and tried it out first time with whole wheat rotini pasta.
The pasta turned out fine. This is also supposed to cook vegetables, shrimp and different types of pasta. It cut down on my cooking time and I didn't have to deal with the steam from cooking and draining pasta the traditional way. It may not work for a large pasta meal, the amount of pasta it will cook will probably serve 2-4 people.
I recommend this product for convenience and reduced cooking time. Now I just have to worry about one pot on the stove for the pasta sauce.

Zojirushi NS-MYC10 Micom Fuzzy Logic 5.5 Cup Rice Cooker and Warmer Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I never gave much thouht to cooking rice until I moved to Japan--and acquired a Japanese spouse!
But we're fussy about our rice here, and nobody would dream of being without a rice cooker. Rice cookers are actually pressure cookers, so the rice is always plump and perfect.
I have the equivalent Japanese model (the same but with a different faceplate). I've had it for almost fou years and it's a real workhorse. Zoji is a value-brand here in Japan, specialising in small appiances, and known for being simple and sturdy. I would choose them over some of the big Japanese names, given the quality problems I've had with some of the other well-known electrical brands that make everything from TVs to elevators.
The rice? Can't fault it. Nor can the other half, who's ultra-critical. Makes great oatmeal, too, but I can't get the other half interested in such exotic foreign foods.

Aroma ARC7031G 6-Cup Rice Cooker and Food Steamer Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Don't waste your money. I bought this because it was small and I wanted a rice cooker that would make 3 cups and take up less storage space than the bigger ones.
It burns the rice every time no matter how much I adjust the water ratio. And brown rice - forget it, even more burned on the bottom. You have to watch it instead of being able to rely on it doing what it says it will do. It has yet to turn out 'perfect rice.'
If I could rate this a zero I would.

Panasonic SR-W18PB Rice Cooker/Steamer Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)After contemplating buying a rice cooker for a few weeks, I decided I would buy an entry level rice cooker. This came from the epiphany I had while eating another flavorless serving of instant brown rice. Being a bachelor, I need a way to prepare rice easily and quickly, so instant rice had been my choice for some years.
I had read several buying guides and reviews online, and knew I wanted the following features:
- It had to be under [price]. Being I had never cooked with a rice cooker, I did not want to spend too much money buying something I might not use or like.
- It had to have a non-stick surface on the pot
- It had to be by a reputible Japanese brand
- It had to have a steaming tray
- It had to be small, being I would only be cooking for myself
This model fit all the criteria. The rice comes out fantastic. I learned that although the owner's manual may say to use 1.25 cups of water for each cup of rice, the rice comes out too dry and even burns on the bottom. Using 2 cups of water to each cup of rice corrected this. I have so far cooked brown and basmati rice with the cooker and they both were excellent. I soak the rice for thirty minutes, then turn on the cooker. After about 20 to 30 minutes, the cooker turns off, and I have delicious, hot, moist, healthy rice.
This is a great, small, basic, and inexpensive cooker. Nothing fancy, just good rice. I know I will upgrade to a fancier model in the future, but for now, this Panasonic one is just fine.

VersaChef VC-100 All-In-One 4-Liter Programmable Multi-Cooker Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This multicooker is easy to use, doesn't take up a lot of space, and has a good non-stick pan. It makes cooking much faster, and since it only uses one pan (and sometimes the steam rack), there isn't much dish-washing to do afterward. The Rapid rice cook setting can overcook the rice a bit, but so far that's the only flaw in the cooker that I've found.
This product is great for people who don't have much free time, but want to eat homemade, healthy food. Great for a college student, especially.

Click Here to see more reviews about: VersaChef VC-100 All-In-One 4-Liter Programmable Multi-Cooker

Prepare healthy, home-cooked meals with this all-in-one multi-cooker. The appliance can be used to brown meat, steam vegetables, boil potatoes, fry or saute onions, cook 2 to 8 cups of rice--even bake a cake. Just add the ingredients, set the desired heat and time, and it takes care of the rest. It can even be programmed to start cooking at a later time, making it possible to come home to a hot, ready-to-serve meal after a long day at the office. The cooker's all-in-one, space-saving design replaces multiple pots, pans, and other kitchen appliances, while its carrying handle allows for convenient portability from the kitchen to the dining-room table or from home to a potluck, picnic, or other gathering. As long as there's an electrical outlet, the machine can be used to cook and serve just about anywhere. Other highlights include a 4-liter capacity, energy-efficient operation, keep-warm mode at the end of the cooking cycle, and an easy-to-clean design. An instruction manual for getting started and a bonus recipe book with over 50 select dishes come included. Compact and simple to use, the 1000-watt multi-cooker measures 15-1/5 by 11-1/2 by 9-2/7 inches and carries a one-year limited warranty.

Presto 6020 Options 6-Quart Electric Multi-Cooker, Stainless Steel Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Like the person wrote in March, I think this is a great electric pot EXCEPT I CANNOT USE IT!
I brought 3 quarts of cold water to a rolling, hard boil in less than 15 minutes SET AT 250*F!
I had gumbo-soup to finish up so put almost 2 quarts into the pot and set it on the number ''2'' for 200*F. IT BOILED! That just is not possible at 250 feet above sea level, if the temperature control is working properly.
The auto shut-off on the control works but apparently the current shunt does not function at all when set near or above 200*F. It just goes full blast(full current).
Pros:
a) the stainless steel is quality steel;
b) the manufacturing shows no defects of any kind;
c) it is heavy but not too heavy to manipulate;
d) great size ... not too tall or too fat;
e) it is so pretty and shiny ...I've never had any cooking equipment that looks that good(in 30+ years ...).
BUT the "magnetic" control release really stinks. It can barely stay on with the weight of the cord. A clip is needed, badly. I mean bumping the cord and it falls off?!? Ridiculous!
And since I am unable to simmer anything, the pot is basically useless for the 90% of the intended purposes.
...
I wrote to Presto. If they have a fix for the so-called '' Control Master '' heat control I'll update this or write another.
I'd highly recommend this if it was not for the defective heat control.
...[UPDATE]...
Presto(NPI Customer Service) responded very quickly(next day).
They are sending a new '' Control Master '' heat control unit at no additional charge to me other than the time spent.
As someone else stated in a review of the non-stick version of this multi-cooker, the older model control unit works. I requested the older version but NPI Customer Service states that they cannot send the previous model of control and must send the new magnetic clip version.
If it does not work Amazon is getting this cooker back so for all concerned, let's hope it does.
I'll (try to) update one way or the other.
...[UPDATE]...
Presto was very fast about getting the new temperature control unit to me.
Unfortunately the new "Control Master" heat control unit (item|model # 21536) works exactly like the original control unit: it does not control the temperature.
PRODUCT IS WORTHLESS! ...except for boiling water when set on warm. It is great at that.
... such a shame. :(
Changing rating to 1 star ...& requesting refund.

Presto 06006 Kitchen Kettle Electric Multi-Cooker and Fryer Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This unit is similar to the one I have (old style 06000), so I have included my review here as well.
I bought one at Walmart last year. I use it pretty often, but mostly for making popcorn. Turn temp to 350, put a couple-three tablespoons of peanut oil in the bottom, and then when the oil heats up throw in 1/3 to 1/2 cup of popcorn. Put the cover on and keep the pot moving while the corn pops. When the corn has just about stopped popping, turn the heat off and pour the popcorn into a bowl. Butter, salt and eat. YUM!
I've deep-fried scallops in it, steamed vegetables, cooked rice, made soup and even baked potatoes. The thing works great! I wasn't going to write a review until I saw Alton Brown talk some trash about it on Good Eats. I got pretty defensive about my humble Presto cooker! He was doing a silly episode about "man food" like corn dogs and thin, square hamburgers. Well, when Mr. Brown was explaining how to fry the corn dogs he said (while holding a Presto mutlti-cooker) that a pot with an heating element on the outside of the bottom wasn't a good idea because first the element had to heat the pot and then it had to heat up the oil. Too slow. After that he displayed three home-use rectangular fryers with immersion type heating elements. He said they were also better because they each had cooking baskets and break-away magnetic cords. He picked the one with the digital controls, while implying that this was somehow better than the manual rotary temp control.
I don't know if A. B. gets paid for product placement on his show, but I really thought he was being disingenuous regarding the Presto "pot." First of all, about the heating element on the bottom of the Presto cooker: During the frying demonstration, Mr. Brown had some text placed over the screen that said that if you didn't have a special electric fryer, that a pot on the stove-top would work fine. Isn't that interesting? What the heck is a pot on the stove, but just a heating element on the outside of a pot that heats up the pot and then the oil inside? That's exactly what he was criticizing the Presto kettle about. What gives? Secondly, the Presto cooker DOES TOO have a magnetic break-away electric cord to keep the unit from tipping when the cord is yanked by accident. Also, the Presto cooker DOES TOO come with a frying-steaming basket, which Brown implied it didn't have. Nya, nya, nya! See, I can be just as immature as Alton Brown!
I don't know if the rectangular fryers are really better, but I'm sure they cost a lot more. My Presto cooker was $26.85 at Walmart. I keep it in a lower cabinet - it doesn't take up much space there. I pull it out when I need it. It's inexpensive, easy to use, and simple. When we go to Maine in August, I'm allowed to take only one of my counter-top appliances. So, I just take the Presto cooker with me. Normally, I cook steel cut oats in a small bowl, sitting in water, in a slow cooker (a bain marie - sort of - found the idea here [link deleted]) I can do the same thing with the Presto cooker. And I have a pot with me on vacation that I can do so much more with.
One last thing. With my slow cooker I use a plug-in timer called a Rival Smart-Part. But it's not rated to control the wattage of the Presto multi-cooker. I found a heavy-duty programmable digital timer that I use to turn the Presto cooker off and on automatically. This device really allows me to use the Presto cooker like a slow cooker, without over-cooking stews and such when I am out of the house all day. The Presto multi-cooker is a terrific appliance! Buy one now, and don't believe everything you see on TV!
Flash Update! Here is another reason to buy a Presto multi-cooker: I'm making a beef stew with red wine tonight. What a mess browning the stew beef! I have a 3 quart Wagner cast-iron chicken fryer, and this is what I used to brown the beef chuck cubes. These days the meat hasn't been aged much, and so it is very difficult to brown properly. I managed to do it in batches, but the stove-top got pretty messy by the time I was done. I put the browned meat, vegetables, and garlic into the Presto cooker ( I made sure to deglaze the chicken fryer with wine and include all the tasty bits) and continued to cook the stew. And then I could proceed to clean up the stove-top while the beef stew simmered away in a different part of the kitchen. I am very pleased not to have to clean up all that oil splatter after dinner!

Presto 06003 Options Electric Multi-Cooker/Steamer Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this EXACT model in 2001, and along with steaming, blanching, roasting, etc., it clearly advertises itself as a "deep fryer" of which it does an excellent job. The manual even includes full frying instructions!
If Presto has decided to now say "don't fry in this", it is strictly a legal move. The problem is that Presto's "fry daddy" line has no temperature control, and it's preset low enough so that you can't set any frying liquid on fire. But these also have no versatility.
The multi-cooker can do so much more, because you can set the temperature from "warm" to 400 degrees. This is higher than the smoke point of some frying mediums (lard and shortening in particular) and therefore IF you don't know the smoke point of what you're using, you can get in trouble. This is probably why Presto's lawyers decided to say it's not a fryer anymore, although it clearly is. I, however, will happily continue to use my multi-cooker to make great fries, fried shrimp and chicken, donuts, etc. in addition to steaming and blanching vegetables, as well as braising. It's the most versatile appliance I own!

Zojirushi NS-XBC05WR Rizo Micom 3-Cup Rice Cooker and Warmer, White Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have owned the Rizo cooker for over a year now and have been using it more seriously the past two months to cook long grain rice. The only thing good about this is the design. Here's a list of my compliant:
1) Rice takes about 1 hr to cook
2) With one cup you get "fluffy" rice (stirring required). Greater then two cups, the rice is extra moist in the center of the cooker and dry on the top and the sides. The design of the pan did not allow proper evaporation of water (this is an engineering flaw, what happened to quality control?). Therefore, moister gets trapped at the center and near the bottom of the cooked rice mass. Even if you stir it up as per instruction when the rice is done, you would get a mixture of somewhat mash-up rice.
I am a frequent user of rice cookers. I find that some of the generic brand rice cookers at the department stores that run between $8 to $15 will do the job quite well, if not better.
I am disappointed that this pricey item is more of a show piece then practical.

Hamilton Beach Digital Steamer Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this after a fellow dorm student showed me how to use his steamer of another brand. I chose this one because of the design and the removable top shelf that allows you to cook larger items. I can get 2 chicken breast (boneless skinless) chicken breast for $3.00, a bag of baby carrots for $1.25 and a small bag of small red potatoes for $1.50.
I put the chicken in a bag or container and pour in my spices (I use Mrs. Dash because it's salt free and so flavorful) and mix it up until the chicken is coated. I let the chicken sit sometimes to soak up the spices better (usually overnight) but spicing before steaming is still great. I will put one breast in the middle of the bottom tier, surround it with carrots. I put the other breast on the top tier, surround it with red potatoes cut into quarters (leaving them whole works, but i like them cut to add seasoning) and in 25 minutes me and another person are having an awesome healthy meal.
Steaming is more effective at retaining the vitamins in your fruits and vegetables. I am telling you straight up, if you want to lose weight, buy this steamer, and try my recipe above. its a salt free dish that has so much natural flavorful hearty goodness that will not leave you hungry trust me.ive lost 30 lbs since august 2010 (its almost Halloween 2010) and most of my dinners have been similar to the above recipe, no salt, no butter or margarine, just natural spices and foods cooked using a natural, nutrient retention process.

Black and Decker RC436 16-Cup Rice Cooker Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought one of these because I was not happy with the Aroma plastic rice cooker that I was using.
The Aroma always burned the rice at the bottom, and the warm setting was way too hot and would continue to cook the food.
It also was made in such a way that the lid was not detachable, and therefore you couldn't clean it.
Take my word for it, when cooking rice or other things (rice cookers do a fantastic job with steel cut oatmeal BTW) food has a tendency to foam up during cooking and the steam and food particles rise up towards the vent on top.
If you have a rice cooker with a non-detachable lid, food particles get trapped up there and you can't get them out.
So when you cook a new batch of rice, the old particles can migrate down into your food. It's unsanitary.
FYI: A teaspoon of vegetable oil will help with foaming.
At least with this type of cooker, the lid is like a crockpot lid and can be put in the dishwasher.
It does a great job on rice, no more burning at the bottom. The warm setting is just that- warm.
When you plug it in, you must push down on the switch to go to the "cook" mode, otherwise it will just stay on warm. This is a great advantage AFAIC, for if you unplug it and plug it back in- it won't automatically go back to "cook" like my old rice cooker and many others on the market will.
I really love the detachable cord. It's very convienent.
It doesn't have a steaming basket or any other frills. It's a very basic rice cooker, but I am very satisfied with it. I have been using it for about 6 months now.
In the owners manual, it states that the lid and insert are *not* dishwasher safe- which I don't understand.
In my house, there is no such thing as "not dishwasher safe". I put everything- and I mean everything- in my dishwasher. I just don't use any extra hot water cycles or drying cycles and I have yet to ruin anything.
So you can put the parts of this rice cooker in there and not worry about it.
If you want a no frills rice cooker this little unit will do the job nicely.
