4 out of 5 stars Reliable and Inexpensive   July 28, 2008

We keep buying the same Oster rice cooker every 2-3 years.....We use it everyday, so it does wear out. If you leave it on warm for too long, then it will form a crust at the bottom, but it comes off very easily. After awhile, sometimes it under cooks the rice, but if left on warm, it will cook thoroughly. Overall, we have found this rice cooker very useful and dependable...We love the rice that it cooks!

This rice cooker has no fancy feature but it has worked well for us. We bought ours from Macy over three years ago. The non-stick coating is beginning to wear thin. But that is not surprising since we use it every single day. We use the measuring cup that comes with it to measure the rice (good quality Chinese, Japanese, or Korean rice, no Uncle Ben) and put in water according to the marking in the pot. We get good rice every time. It is true that if we leave it at "warm" for a while, a thick hard crust would form at the bottom. But for us, we usually unplug it as soon as it finishes cooking so this rarely happens. When it does, we would take whatever above it and pour in half a cup of water. The crust comes off easily after 15 minutes or so and it is still pretty good for eating. :-)

The design of the product is not bad for the price. But the reliability of the product is quite a minus. After using for less than 10 times, the rice cooker stopped turning on!

I really like this cooker. We make alot of sushi and it does the rice perfectly. We also use it for everyday rice quite often. I've never had a problem of it burning my rice so long as I don't leave it on "warm" to long. I've had it for over a year and have never had any problems. If you are looking for an inexpensive rice cooker that still does a decent job, this is the one to use.

I've had my Oster for about 3 months and make rice in it once a week or more. I often make 1-2 cups of rice and use water. The rice isn't quite what I expected but the convenience of having it made without an additional thought is incredible. The cooker always browns the rice on the bottom slightly for a bit of crispy rice that I sometimes enjoy.
