Bear Mini Rice Cooker, 2-Cup Uncooked, Nonstick, Keep Warm, BPA Free, Blue

This is a great rice cooker. I have already used it multiple times and have had no issues. The rice does not stick and is a perfect consistency. I was a bit apprehensive about ordering it at first because I saw a few reviews stating that others were having a problem with liquid leaking out of the top while it was cooking. After using mine, I realize that they must be over filling with the liquid. There is a clear line inside that shows you where to add the liquid up to and if you follow that, it does not leak. Perfect for making one or two servings which works out great for me and my husband. Also, a nice sleek look on the counter. I love the blue color. I think it was a great value for the price and I would highly recommend.

I fell in love with this rice cooker the moment I saw it on Amazon. The dark blue color with the gold trim is absolutely beautiful and makes it look so much more high-end than your typical kitchen appliance. It’s honestly one of the cutest things on my counter and doesn’t feel bulky or out of place at all. This is actually my first rice cooker, and I wanted something simple for making rice, quinoa, and similar meals more regularly with my busy schedule. This has been perfect for that. It comes with everything you need—a rice paddle, measuring cup, and instructions—and it’s very easy to use. What I really like is how simple the operation is. You just plug it in, add your rice and water, close the lid, and push the lever to start cooking. The mechanism is smart too—it won’t activate unless there’s weight inside from the rice and water, which is a nice safety feature. It runs automatically and cooks for about 30 minutes, so there’s no need to mess with timers or settings. When you first get it, it does recommend running a cycle with water to remove any manufacturing smell, which I did. That step worked perfectly and made sure my first batch didn’t taste like anything but fresh rice. Another huge plus is the size. It’s compact, lightweight, and super easy to find space for on the counter, which is great if you don’t have a lot of room. Overall, I absolutely love this rice cooker. It’s simple, reliable, aesthetically pleasing, and perfect for everyday use. Definitely worth the money and a great addition to a busy lifestyle!

For $29.99, I’d recommend this as a great investment for single persons/couples and campus-bound students who enjoy rice at home. ⚠️ PRO TIP: Don’t leave cooked rice in cooker overnight: after about a day, sometimes the rice gets dried out around the edges. This is easily avoided with proper care right after cooking: tupperwear and refrigerate the left-overs. Rice has the same cooking-quality as a full-sized cooker, which can run upwards of $150+ for a nice Tiger or Cuckoo (iykyk 😉). This Bear mini is super cute and aesthetic, taking up no countertop space, supper easy to clean (non-sick Teflon maybe?! 🤓👍) and compact/easy to store (in my small nyc apt kitchen! 😂). I noticed that it doesn’t make the sputter-mess like other mini-cookers I’ve owned. Also, pretty sure mine came with a 1-cup measuring cup and a rice paddle. I’ve re-purchased one for each of my siblings! 🙂 Great product. [‼️PRODUCT-DEVELOPERS: offer more color-ways! 🌈🤓]

This rice cooker is small enough for a single person or a couple. It makes a reasonable amount of perfectly cooked rice. However, there are a few things to note. First, I have not made a maximum amount of rice (or other items) because I have been still testing it at small amounts with only a few attempts that did not spew water from the steam vent. I have tried rice, oatmeal, and pasta with great success in the cooking quality and taste. However, almost every time when the water inside gets hot, the steam vent will bubble up the water out of the cooker. I have had to make sure that the area under and around the cooker is clear and able to withstand hot water. I am afraid to put a towel underneath it or even around it as the het vents are on the bottom of the device. I have reduced the amount of water and only made small portions to some degree of success. I have read that putting a teaspoon of oil in the water for pasta will stop the foaming, so I will try similar methods for rice and oatmeal. Also, when the rice is done cooking, the insertable container is extremely hot and it is not advisable to remove it with unprotected hands. It sits relatively flush with the rim, so even using pot holders is difficult to grab. The heat safe ladle that comes with it helps get the hot food out of the container even when it is in the cooker, but it is awkward. I would have preferred some detachable handle be included so that it can latch onto the container and aid in its removal. Cleaning is difficult when the water and liquid gets around the hinge of the top, even if the ridge on the rim usually keeps the electronics safe. I recommend investing in Q-Tips to clean out the area by the hinge that is not easily reached any other way. On a good note, the non-stick surface of the cooking container makes for easy cleanup of that part. The seal in the lid needs removed to wipe down and clean and the rubber gasket needs special attention to make sure that it doesn't fall off, but is cleaned correctly. I would have give it 3 stars for design, but it does produce perfectly cooked rice and other foods. So it does its job.

HAZARD!!! BUYER BEWARE! I bought this, because I rescued a dog from the air force base and the vet took care of him when he was ill and picked up a problem & did not eat for almost three days and told me to make him rice with chicken, as a plain diet. This rice cooker spirted boiling liquid allover, including on my hands, clothing, counter, wall, and other appliances and flooded the counter. I only used a half of cup of rice and cup of water. Many people do not understand that a real rice cooker DOES NOT flood a counter top nor spew boiling fluid allover the place, surrounding the cooker but they think "that is the way they are"!. They are NOT! I did have an original Japanese rice cooker given to me by my Japanese friends once, a real one, and not a drop of fluid spewed anywhere at anytime. Also, I did buy another one years ago, a Tayama, which is much bigger and bulkier which works fine, almost like the original Japanese Rice Cooker. But it is large and bulky. They do not sell a 2-cup rice cooker or even a 5 cup rice cooker which would save space. Your rice cookers should NOT flood anywhere nor leak from the top, nor spew hot fluids on your person, walls, kids, pets, or anything you own in your kitchen! There is a trend of manufacturing rice cookers that are unsafe, which has become the norm though, unfortunately and people think that it is normal. It is NOT normal at all! I have read hundreds of reviews for different rice cookers, all by people who think that flooding is normal and to be expected. This rice cooker is the most dangerous rice cooker I have ever used though. Also, you cannot get liquids into your electrical socket. By a rice cooker spewing liquids at all near or on the electrical socket it would be a potential fire hazard and you can get shocked! Keep your electrical sockets dry. The cord is short and with its spewing and squiring hot liquid, it will affect the electrical socket maybe. Stay fire free! This was one scary rice cooker! Try a Tayama if you want to cook bigger portions.

Are you kidding me?? I cannot say enough about this little beauty! First it is the perfect size for me and my husband. The rice comes out PERFECT everytime!!! The blue is beautful!! You will not be disappointed. Its so easy to use!! Just follow the instructions. It only takes about 20 - 25 mintutes to cook the most perfect rice ever!

This little wonder is perfect for us empty nesters or a single person. It worked like a charm.and easy clean up! Even my 81 year old husband can make perfect rice and just enough no more waste not only that but it looks good on the counter so stylish and modern

I have had this rice cooker for a while now and made many batches of rice. It is great! So easy to use and it looks very sweet on my counter top as it cooks perfect rice every time. Use the enclosed little measuring cup for amount of rice you want to cook and then add water accordingly following the marks inside the cooking pot. And - - - I want to pass on to you a great tip! After you have rinsed your rice really well until almost clear water appears simply add 1 teaspoon of freshly squeezed lemon juice for each 1/2 cup of rice amount and water. Stir until mixed in. Set into the cooker and begin cooking. That little bit of lemon juice will keep it from spitting water out the top! Truly it works. And the rice does not clump together when done or have any lemon flavor. The rice is nice and moist. Such a great cooker you will feel like it needs a hug. Much better than trying to cook rice on the stove top any day of the week!

I love this little rice cooker! It makes perfect rice and quinoa! It is simple to use and easy to clean. My only “complaint” is if you plug it in it automatically turns on to “warm”, so if you’re puttering around not paying attention to making rice it sits heating up. Small flaw, but I am learning and I would recommend it to the people who want a stylish effective rice cooker for the casual rice consumption family. (I’ve been told if rice is a staple to your every day, there are other “tip of the line” cookers for “rice snobs”) This one is great!

Bin sehr begeistert, klein, knuffig, tut was er soll. Lässt sich super verstauen.
