TOSHIBA Rice Cooker Small 3-Cup Uncooked– LCD Display with 8 Cooking Functions: Rice, Oatmeal, Mixed Grains and More, NonStick Inner Pot, Grey

I wasn’t sure I should bother getting this. I mean, how hard is it to cook rice? All I can say is this is the best rice I’ve ever had. Much better than what I was making. It also made hard-boiled eggs. I’m going to try some one pot meals in it. It’s perfect for one person. It’s easy to use. And easy to clean.

Really happy with this rice cooker! The size is perfect for 2 people and doesn’t take up much counter space. The LCD display is simple and clear. Rice comes out fluffy and evenly cooked. The design also looks modern and clean in my kitchen.

Easy to clean, easy to use, and damn well worth the money. I got this as a beginners step of having my own rice cooker while I'm independent, and I love it. I wanted this as a 'i dont need a super fancy one yet' sort of purchase instead of getting the one that sings to you and cooks rice at a certain time and etc. I haven't tried to make much else in this cooker. besides WHITE MEDIUM GRAIN SUISHI GRADE RICE. I wash and rinse my rice, 5 times before (3 is unlucky, and 4 isnt enough sorta rule). Drain, and add to the pot. Let it cook for about the suggested 50 minutes and bam it's perfect everytime. No burning, no crunchy undercooked rice, it's absolutely perfect and fluffy. The keep warm feature does it's job and it's definitely a keeper. I will say though, the 50 minute rice time the machine says is a little bit surprising at first, especially if you decide to presoak your rice after washing. But honestly I think that 50 min is [for the 15 min] soaking bit built in since it take a bit to warm up, but even then I NEVER have had a bad batch of rice sense getting this rice cooker. (Also I will say if your bag of rice says cup to water ration on the bag, but the booklet says different always default to the bag of rice -- the people who bag it probably know it a bit better than the spit balling of some algorithm) The added rice paddle and ladle are super handy too. I make Japanese style curry a lot and I use the ladle for my curry and the rice paddle to make everything else involving the rice (fluffy, distributing, packing into rice molds, storing). The inside bowl is removeable and easy to clean with a simple pass with a sponge, a rinse, and a dry. I will say that it definitely didn't smell bad out of the box, and I only gave the pan a soaping and everything else a cursory wipe down. After using it to make rice, you literally just washing it out the same way, soaping and a wipe or two with a sponge and then drying. If you dry it on the rack, it will literally be ready to go back in after about 20 minutes, if not less (no joke.) The booklet comes with recommendations, recipes, and more. It might not sing you a little tune, but it's definitely a good rice cooker for a poor beginner! I was on the fence about having it and using it, but now I love it and even if I don't use it everyday I can't imagine my life without it. Anyway I LOVE IT. If anything happens to it down the line, I will definitely update this review.

This little Toshiba rice cooker makes perfect rice every single time – fluffy, not sticky, and just right. I’ve also used it for oatmeal, and it comes out great too. It has a bunch of cooking functions for different grains and recipes, even cake!, but honestly, I’m not sure I’ll use most of them. What I really like is that it adjusts the cooking time on its own. The display might say 30 minutes, but it never actually takes that long – it just knows when the rice is done and switches to keep warm. If you’re looking for a small, reliable rice cooker that nails rice every time, this is it. Note: if you like that crispy rice your old rice maker made on the bottom while keeping the rice warm........this doesn't do that. The temp and nonstick surface keep that from happening. Slight downside for me.

tested this 3-cup Toshiba against an older Zojirushi Neuro Fuzzy using 145g of Janine Rice rinsed with two changes of water. I used 250g water which matched the recommended physical volume to the lines indicated on both machines. Both machines were started simultaneously and took nearly the same amount of time to complete (54 minutes). The Toshiba rice was satisfactory but still inferior to the Zojirushi. The Toshiba produced a softer, stickier end product. The Zojirushi showed better grain separation with a slightly al dente mouth feel. This is not surprising given that the Zojirushi is triple the price and has long been considered the best home rice cooker on the market. It is worth noting that this comparison is for one cup of rice in a 3-cup Toshiba vs. 5-cup Zojirushi. Also, it's possible that the Toshiba would do better with less water — the manual permits adjusting the water +/- 33% — but I have not done so. Beyond price, there are other reasons to consider the Toshiba. The liner is significantly heavier with a very high quality non-stick coating. I'm replacing the Zojirushi because the liner is heavily scratched and a replacement is out of stock on their website and going for over $120 on the secondary market. Additionally, the Toshiba has settings for cake, hard boiled eggs and slow cooking. It is also available in the smaller size I want (Zojirushi seems to only offer 3-cup in their only Micon line which other testers have found slightly inferior to Neuro Fuzzy). The Toshiba is less bulbous which makes it easier to store and provides an estimated cook time upon starting while the Zojirushi only displays a countdown later in the cooking process. Both keep programmed time when unplugged although the Toshiba does not display the time unless you plug it in. I would prefer the Zojirushi's automatic cord retraction to the removable plug on the Toshiba but the retraction on the Zojirushi has partially failed so that advantage is moot. Overall, the Toshiba should please all but the most discerning rice afficianados and with some adjustments to the water amount it may do even better. It's also worth noting that in third party testing no rice cooker earns perfect marks across all types of rice, but I have not performed those tests myself. I for one am keeping the Toshiba as it provides an excellent value and preferable form factor while producing rice that only barely falls short of the best.

I will join the myriad of other people in saying, this is one of the best kitchen investments I've made. I can't believe I've never thought to buy a rice cooker before -- this makes rice easy, delicious, and perfectly consistent across multiple dinners. It's MUCH better than using the stovetop to whip up some Minute rice. The taste and texture of rice, and the value that this adds to your kitchen, is unbeatable. I have been using it exclusively for Jasmine rice, but I'm about to branch out to other types, I'm particularly interested in doing brown rice and making cake. Yes, it has an option for making cake - not rice cake, sponge cake. Like for a small birthday cake. I'M SO EXCITED. Y'all, I am a 34-year-old married man, and I still get giddy every time we're planning a dinner that a side of rice will complement. I brag about this thing with my coworkers. I take the reigns when cooking rice, so that my wife can focus on the delicious main course. I found this method online and it makes it so easy to do rice the right way: Step 1 - I measure out how much rice I want - I usually do 1.5 cups - and pour it into a mixing bowl (any kind of bowl with extra space will work). Step 2 - I fill the bowl with cold water (not hot, as this may affect cooking), and rub all the grains of rice between my fingertips to remove excess starch. Using my hand as a block, I'll pour the water out, and refill with more water. I repeat this process until newly added water is barely cloudy. Step 3 - Using my hand as a block, I pour the water down the drain. It's okay to have a little bit left in the bowl, you don't have to struggle to get all the water out. Step 4 - Pour the rice into the rice cooker bowl. Step 5 - Measure out and pour water into the rice cooker bowl. For Jasmine rice, I do about a 1:1.3 ratio. For 1 cup of Jasmine, I'd do 1-1/3 cup of water. For 1.5 cups Jasmine, I'd do 2 cups water. You can play around with it, but you typically want to use more water than rice when cooking Jasmine, you just don't want to use more than 1:1.5 rice to water for Jasmine. White rice should be a 1:1 ratio, but check online for Step 6 - Press "Menu" until your rice type is highlighted, then press start. For Jasmine, I use the Mixed Rice setting. One important thing to note about this rice cooker, is that the included cup is not a 1-cup measurement. It is smaller than that. I use an actual measuring cup when pouring my rice, and I always use the same cup to also measure my water. Consistency! It's an art, too though, so feel free to eyeball it once you get comfortable with your new favorite kitchen appliance.

This is a great small rice cooker. We used for the first time right after it arrived this week and it did the job superbly. Very impressive performance for such a small device as the rice was cooked completely and consistently. Easy to sue and clean and it does not take up a lot of room.

Great little rice cooker. We got this to replace an old one that was showing signs of wear. This one is much faster, and produces great rice. My husband also uses it to make one- or two-serving dinners where he just dumps in some veggies and chicken and broth along with some rice and while it doesn't look gourmet, he loves the convenience. Would happily purchase again for small households, or a single person who wants to make a few extra servings to put in the freezer.

Lo compre para ahorrar tiempo en mis desayunos en el trabajo con algo que fuera discreto en aromas y en almacenaje. Se muestra avena y un omellete, el teflón de la olla es de calidad y el grosor de la misma se percibe grueso y por lo mismo cocina muy bien, aunque no he cocinado arroz aún.

this seller is responsible. worth for 5 stars review!

Súper fácil de usar y el arroz siempre queda perfecto y rápido, ya sea usando el modo cocción rápida o el modo normal siempre queda perfecto el arroz.

Perfeito! Mantém o arroz quentinho!
