How To Select A Rice Cooker ?

You need to make up your mind on 2 things when selecting your best rice cooker :

  1. Size Or Cup Of Rice Cooker
  2. Type Of Rice Cooker

1. Size Or Cup Of Rice Cooker

How many people do you need to serve with your rice cooker? Usually, 3 cups of rice cooker can serve up to 2-3 people in the family. 5-8 cups of rice cooker is best fit for a small family (2-5 people). One thing to note here is don’t buy a too large unit/size rice cooker than your need because the rice cooker is designed to operate properly with a specific amount of rice and water. And don’t overfill your rice cooker too because the overflow when boiling is quite messy. Anyway, I would recommend 3 cups size rice cooker for single or couple. And if you need more flexibility, then you should get a standard size cups ( 5.5 cups ) rice cooker just in case you might have a guests sometime.

2. Type Of Rice Cooker

How about the type of rice cooker to pick from? For me, I basically divide them into 2 basic category – on/off (one button technology) and fuzzy logic rice cooker.

On/Off Rice Cooker Reviews

As you know, all you need to do is to press one button in on/off rice cooker to cook rice. It will shut off automatically ( or turn to warm ) when it’s done. This is the least expensive and very affordable rice cooker type. You can find the on/off rice cooker price as low as $20. But if you want to have the warm feature for keeping warm as long as 12 hours, it might cost a bit more. But definitely worth while investment if you cook rice often. Here are some of my personal recommendation for on/off best rice cookers:

Best Rice Cooker – On/Off

Fuzzy Logic Rice Cooker Reviews

How about fuzzy logic rice cooker? What is the different between fuzzy logic and on/off rice cooker?

Well, fuzzy logic rice cooker is for you if you are looking for more advance rice cooker that have setting for soup, porridge, brown rice, steamer, rice texture (hard or soft) and induction heating. This type of rice cooker is great but a bit pricey.

Here are some of my recommendation for best fuzzy logic rice cookers:

Best Rice Cooker – Fuzz Logic

Personally, I would look for rice cooker that have at least some basic rice cooker feature such as on/off, warm, non-stick pan and the size that meet my need ( how many serving ). Then, I will consider whether I need the extra fuzzy logic feature to help me to cook soup, porridge and brown rice or whether I like to have different rice texture setting feature. Normally, a good on/off rice cooker can handle brown rice well too. Anyway, if my kitchen space is limited, then I might want to reconsider the size of my rice cooker. Well, if you follow this guide, picking your best rice cooker will become so easy:)

Best Rice Cooker Guide

I’m quite picky about rice cooker. But I truly understand that the main reason to have a rice cooker is to make cooking rice as easy as possible. So no matter what a rice cooker can do, I think it should be simple to operate and cook delicious rice!

Well, you can find most of the rice cooker reviews from consumer report, cook illustrated or owner feedback from amazon and epinion shopping site and etc, but what is truly important for me is whether I like the rice cooker or not when I started using it for everyday cooking. As you can see, for now, my top recommendation for best rice cookers are Zojirushi rice cooker, Sanyo rice cooker, Panasonic rice cooker and Aroma rice cooker.

Besides easy to cook, I like the rice cooker that is easy to clean and have some extra features that fit into my cooking tasks.

Anyway, I hope you do find my rice cooker review and introduction helpful here.
