Rival 64451-C 6.5-Quart Oval CrockPot Slow Cooker, Chrome Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I didn't want all the bells and whistles offered on some more expensive crockpots...and this one is just right. I enjoy being able to turn it down to just "warm" while serving and I really enjoy the removeable stoneware crock. The dark colored crock always looks clean inspite of the inevitable baked on food stains crockpots get after a few uses. The brushed chrome makes it look very classy and expensive and the glass lid is a nice upgrade from my prior plastic lid. It's extremely roomy and great for a pot roast or whole chicken with the oval shape. I didn't feel all the programming options available on some units was necessary...my crockpot just cooks all day while I am at work, and it's ready to eat when I get home! I'm very happy with my purchase.

Zojirushi 6 Cup Rice Cooker / Steamer Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I love my rice cookers. I use them not only to make rice, but for all sorts of one-pot meals. Put in a cup of rice, vegetables, meats or seafood, seasonings, tofu... and a half hour later you have a steaming hot one-pot meal. They're also good for pilafs and other grain dishes.
The Zojirushi and Panasonic units are all first rate, BUT you need to know a little something about cooking rice beyond what's in the poorly worded manuals.
Different rice takes different amounts of water. The long-grained rice Americans are used to should be cooked with 1-3/4 cup of water for each cup of rice. Japanese rice needs only 1-1/4 cup of water for each cup of rice, or 1 cup of water for each cup of washed, wet, rice.
Many Americans (and Europeans) have problems with these cookers because the measure ments are calibrated for Japanese short grain rice, and the Westerners are cooking long grain rice. Get the ratios correct, and everything works out fine.
I've had a number of rice cookers of different sizes. My Panasonic has lasted over 20 years, and my Zojirushi looks like it'll last just as long, while my South Bend gave up the ghost after only a year. Go with the top Japanese models; they're made for day-in and day out cooking.

Plump, tender and moist grains of rice, with the option of colorful steamed veggies, can be yours with this cooker/steamer. No need to worry about rice drying out and sticking to the sauce pan either, as the "keep warm" function will maintain ideal temperature and consistency until you're ready to serve. Use the steamer basket for chicken, seafood, or vegetables - healthy cooking was never this easy!
