Dr. Weil 9802 The Healthy Kitchen Rice Cooker - Model 9802 Review

Dr. Weil 9802 The Healthy Kitchen Rice Cooker - Model 9802
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I was on the verge of purchasing this cooker because one health website described the cooking bowl surface as made from anodized aluminum rather than coated with nonstick material. However, the Waterford customer service(linked from a Weil website as a main seller) says it IS in fact coated. The rationale is that the cooker max temp. is 300 degrees and since teflon only reacts and leaches past 400 degrees, chemical interaction with food is minimized or eliminated. I understand that even current "advanced" coatings still flake, erode, end up in one's food. With wear, they make cleaning harder, not easier. How does the coating affect appliance longevity? And why is a coating (also environmentally unhealthy to produce) even necessary for a steam cooker and fairly low temperatures? I manage to clean my Calphalon plain anodized alum. pots just fine. Was this cooker ever made with anodized alum., as I read? If so, I hope Dr. Weil will consider returning to that. Many of us are trying to reduce plastic contact with food. It's very disappointing that "Healthy Kitchen" products are apparently add to the plastic problem. Dr. Weil might help consumers by making material content specifics widely available online and wherever these products are sold. All I could find on this cooker was an instruction .pdf booklet that reveals little about materials. Anyone who has sought glass, pyrex, good ceramics, stainless, etc. in their cooking equipment knows how hard one must work to find this info., but I expect better from Dr. Weil. Thanks, and I hope this information helps others. Anyone who knows of a truly clean, solid, low-plastic, multi-use cooker, please post!

Aroma ARC7171G 14- Cup Rice Cooker & Food Steamer Review

Even though I felt the low price on this cooker was suspect, I thought I would give it a chance. I wasn't expecting it to last long or work well - boy was I wrong!! I have used it several times a week for going on three years now, and it's still working flawlessly - try to say that about, well, probably any other small applicance in your entire kitchen.
Everyone should have a rice-cooker - they're great time-savers, not to mention meal-savers. Even people who can't boil water can make perfect rice every time.
The reasons I love my Aroma cooker in particular are:
1) It makes much less mess than others I've used (rice cookers tend to blurble starchy water around the rim while cooking, but the heavy glass lid of the Aroma, and the vent hole, keep it from spattering the counter)
2) It shuts off automatically when it's done cooking, regardless of the type of rice used (I still have no idea how it "knows" there's brown rice that needs a longer cooking time in there, as opposed to jasmine rice which cooks faster - but it does!)
3) It keeps the rice warm for hours if necessary without burning on the bottom or drying out
4) The inner pot lifts out easily to clean.
If I ever have to replace this little workhorse, I'll definitely replace it with another Aroma. (I hope by then they make one in red!)

Well, I bought one of these 8 cup rice cookers, and the instructions are totally nonsense. Of course the disclaimers make sense, but c'mon, if my wife can't figure them out, nobody will.

Well I am a college student who loves rice, this means two things, I cannot afford a really expensive rice cooker and I eat a lot, a lot. The price of this thing was shocking, especially for its HUGE 8-cup capacity; I was looking at cookers that were well over $60 dollars for only 5-cup capacity. I was very hestitant to make the purchase thinking this thing might be a piece of (bad stuff)-I knew Krups only made oustanding products but (...) Well, I finally gave in and bought it, the thing has a BRAIN I tell yah! I put the rice in with the 'special made cup', then fill up to the line with water, click the button, and that is it!!! it measures the weight of the rice+water and decides the cooking times! I only use Jasmine rice (the best, imported from Thailand) and it is some of the best DAMN rice I have ever eaten (and I eat it every day). So get on your horse or computer or whatever and buy it--Next I need to get a rice dispenser to hold the 25pounds of rice I purchase every few months (...)

Sanyo EC-505 5-Cup Rice Cooker and Vegetable Steamer
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This is a good option for families that don't make too much rice at a time or do not want other functions like steaming veggies.
I have been using this for several months and I cant believe how easy it is to use. The rice comes out excellent each time. You do need to adjust the water recommendations to make the rice suit your likeing. I find that I needed more water with every type of rice...especialy long grained basmati which was downright dry at the top when I used the amt. suggested.
I have a problem with small kitchen appliances because i dont have a lot of storage room. Adding another appliance is always a tough decision. I find that I have been using this enough to warrent the purchase (several times a week). I had a larger unit that had more functions but I found I didn't use the *added functions* enough to make up for the space it took.
This is a great and fairly inexpensive option for people who don't need a huge amount of rice at a time, arent looking for duel functions and have limited space. Its not tiny...but its a reasonable size.

Average Reviews:

I purchased this product about a month ago and have used it approximately 4 times. It no longer works. The lights don't come on and the heating element doesn't heat. Amazon's return policy states only a partial refund is available for items that have been used. I can find no customer service phone number on the Amazon site that I can call to discuss this problem with a person. I contacted Sanyo customer service and must send the rice steamer off to a service center somewhere, then wait to get a "fixed" product. What I really want to do is simply return it. This product is not worth the frustration. Buying a small appliance over the internet from a site with no customer service available is a bad idea.

We got this as a replacement for our Krups rice cooker. It is identical to the original one. We must have used the first one for about 5 years before needing a replacement. It is nonstick, but over the years, it will get scratched (or maybe it had help from the fork). If you take care of it, it will last a long time.

Proctor Silex 37533 10-Cup Rice Cooker, White Review

Proctor Silex 37533 10-Cup Rice Cooker, White
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I purchased this from Bed Bath & Beyond for $15! That was easily the best $15 I've ever spent on an appliance. I use it solely for cooking natural long grain brown rice, and it has come out perfect every time. It has a non-stick finish so clean up is as easy as it gets. The lid and cooking pot are dish washer safe, but I think you'd have to be pretty lazy not to take a whole 15 seconds to run it under some water. The non-stick works that good!
I usually cook about 1 cup of uncooked rice at a time. The instructions indicate about a 1-2 ratio of rice to water. But, I've found that a 1-1.5 ratio works better. I guess if you like your rice soggy, then use the 1-part rice to 2-part water method.
I saw a rice cooker for $179.99 at BB&B, and I can't imagine it doing any better than my $15 rice cooker. Best rice I've ever eaten.

Sanyo ECJ-E35S 3.5-Cup Micro-Computerized Rice Cooker/Steamer Review

Sanyo ECJ-E35S 3.5-Cup Micro-Computerized Rice Cooker/Steamer
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This was a Christmas present to myself as I have been wanting a micom rice cooker for some time now. I chose this one because of the price, the 3 cup size, the Sanyo reputation, and the features. And a very wise choice it was!! My first impression as I pulled it out of the box was that it was extremely attractive and modern looking; the web site picture does not do it justice. The body is white with stainless steel accents in a very up-to-date style. It is small and easily tucked away if need be, the cord is retractable. The buttons are large and easy to read and access. The menu features a setting for white, brown, porridge, quick cook and a Korean dish called Dol sot bi bim bab. The instruction book is easy to follow, although you really almost would not need it as the controls are very self-explanatory. Included in the guide are some simple recipes, including one for the dol sot bi bim bab.
The main stand out for this model is a bowl that is built like a tank and is titanium nonstick. It is 5 mm. thick--by far the thickest I have seen on any micom rice cooker. It distributes the heat consistently all around the circumference of the bowl. Another plus is that it has separate markings for brown and sweet rice, showing the necessary higher water level needed for those types of rice. Since I mainly cook brown rice, the separate menu selection for brown and separate bowl markings for brown win this cooker very high marks with me. The bowl is a three cup size, but two cups fill it very full. This is the perfect size for a single person or maybe a couple, but a larger group might want to go up to the 5 cup size. (I might get one of those myself....I like this cooker that much!) I believe the 5 cup also has a steam and slow cook function that the smaller unit does not have. Not a big deal for me but for some might be a selling point.
I have cooked brown, japanese white, jasmine, brown basamati, and even Uncle Ben in this and basically had perfect rice each time. I have also used the timer to have it ready when I come home from work! My only gripe is that it takes 1 1/2 hours to cook brown rice, so if I don't use the timer, I have to wait on it. However, the results ARE worth the wait.
Oh, a couple quirks. The condensation cup is on the top of the cooker--empty it each time, or else if you move the unit, it could spash water down the front of it. I learned the hard way. Also, the clock will read 0.00 at noon instead of 12:00--the 0.00 does NOT mean the rice is ready if you happen to be cooking around that time. Also learned the hard way. Clean up is simple, the pieces come off and reassemble without any brain work. More work than a traditional glass lid cooker perhaps, but again, worth it.
Amazon seemed to have the best price and included free shipping for this model Wal-mart and Best Buy also carry it, but they were not in stock (in my area anyway) and had to be ordered--and you pay shipping. The unit has a one year warranty. It is made in China.
In short, this is a very attractive, well-built, well-designed little unit that turns out perfect rice at an incredible price. If you have any thoughts about getting a micom rice cooker, get this one!!

This is my first rice maker and I love it! Much better than making it on the stove in a pot. The first rice I made in this was a brown rice, wild rice mix. It turned out perfectly. I even forgot to rinse it first, and I did not soak it like the directions required. The machine did not boil over. I just used an extra 1/4 cup water for each cup of rice I added. I also added in a small amount of butter. No sticking, no burning - just perfect rice. I also like that the removable pot is aluminum and not coated with toxic non-stick materials. The clean up was easy. For the price, compared to higher end models, I would recommend this rice maker/steamer to anyone.

This is a step above the basic rice cooker. What I really like about this model is the pail that the rice cooks in is extremely easy to clean. Just soak it in water and everything falls out. Like all rice cookers, it is easy to use. I typically don't bother with the brown rice setting when cooking brown rice because it takes too long. I just cook all rice (brown & white) using the white rice setting, and it cooks fast and has good results. I haven't used the timer feature either, but I suppose that would be handy. It seems durable, too - we've used it 2-3 times a week for the last two years and it still works great.

Microwave Rice Cooker Review

I've had my cooker for 11 years (got it in college). Great for making a quick (12-15 min) single or double serving of rice. The plastic design (as well as the lid disassembly) makes for easy cleanup.
Larger servings can be difficult due to boil-over issues, so I wouldn't recommend making more than about 3/4 cup of rice at one go. Also, the bits that snap over the lid to hold it down can come off and get lost. I still have mine after 11 years, but my college roommate lost one of his way back then. (It was after he moved out with his cooker in the summer that I had to pick up my own - I was hooked at that point.)

Average Reviews:

I think this is a perfectly fine rice cooker, perhaps a bit over-priced, but it IS one of the famous "Made in Japan" rice cookers for which Zojirushi is justly famous.
It differs in one main respect from the excellent ZUTTO NP-DA10 model sold in Japan: that one (which has served me brilliantly for 2 years now) uses the Induction Heating cooking method, which this North American version does not have. I think IH would have justified the price of this; without it, well...
Perfectly fine rice, good design and functionality. And I don't agree with the comments about ZUTTO "bombing out" in Japan or cheap or flimsy plastic. The reviews on Amazon.jp (which you can check) are universally positive. See one in person at your local shop before you decide.

The very essence of form and function, Zojirushi designed their Zutto line with simplicity in mind, which means organic shapes, and that only the basic functions necessary for operating each appliance were included. With a 5-1/2-cup capacity, this rice cooker and warmer features control buttons that are designated with symbolic icons instead of labels, so they can be universally understood. The unit's spherical inner cooking pan and heating system enables heat to distribute evenly for exceptional results, and its advanced Neuro Fuzzy logic technology allows the rice cooker to make fine adjustments to the temperature and heating time in order to cook perfect rice every time. Menu settings include options for cooking white/sushi rice, porridge, and mixed rice, while the unit's automatic keep-warm function keeps cooked rice hot until it's ready to be served. Other features include an LCD display, a clock and timer function, a detachable inner lid, and a built-in retractable cord.

Zojirushi NP-HTC18 Induction Heating 10-Cup Pressure Rice Cooker and Warmer Review

Zojirushi NP-HTC18 Induction Heating 10-Cup Pressure Rice Cooker and Warmer
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Just completed my first pot of brown rice at 7,300 ft. It is so much better than my usual pressure-cooked brown rice, it is amazing. And I didn't have to stand around adjusting the flame on my stove to keep the pressure up, but not too far up. I simply put in the brown rice to the levels recommended. I closed it and set it on the brown rice setting. Perfect the first time.
Yes, it is really expensive, but brown rice doesn't really get done at my altitude unless you use a pressure cooker. The controls on a pressure cooker are not very fine. This machine immediately brings the rice to the best temperature for cooking whatever kind of rice one chooses and raises the pressure, if necessary, to get the water to that temperature.
I looked at the non-pressurized Zojirushi rice cookers and realized that they would not work for me, so my sweet husband sprang for the NP-HTC18 and gave it to me for a gift. I am very lucky. Great husband, great rice-cooker. He figures he will be paid off in more frequent brown rice from now on and he is right.

This rice cooker is very pretty and compact. It cooks rice well and has a nonstick lining. The manufacturer gives instructions on how to take care of the nonstick lining and we followed it. During normal use though, as the rice cooker boils for multiple periods of time, the lining also bubbles and permanent bumps develop at the bottom of the bowl. Then the lining flakes off. The manufacturer doesn't comment on this fact and just offers to sell you another replacement bowl for $10. We have had this rice cooker for around 2 years.
