What does choice say? I am only a member of ozb
The problem with Choice review - they never test the longevity of the products.
Well no one wants to see a review of products from five years ago.
Plastic red decor container… $5.
Lol im such a tight arse.
Amateur, I cook my rice while I'm having a hot shower.
I bought a Panasonic that was $200.
I've tried cheaper ones and they don't cook things like brown rice as good.
They're still ok, but my one does brown rice to perfection.
Why buy quality when you can buy cheap shit?
This is rated much higher on Choice than Tiger. In terms of product quality, rice quality, cost and ease of use. Also won best rice cooker over multiple years.
$75 vs $300
The smart choice is the $75 one.
These are great, had one of these for about a year and the rice box is a great rice cooker. %100 recommended.
I see a Tiger is available for about $50 more, so that's a tough call though (if you're a costco member).
Tiger is $300 I think unless you have heaps of spare eneloops
shit. it was very early for me :)
Choice rated this highest score in Feb 2016 (this is 89% $100 and Tiger JBA-T18A is 83% and $320 in the table). It also recommended in Apr 2013 too.
shows as $85.19 delivered after code is applied
same here.
same here,
I actually own this bad boy. It's a fantastic machine!
Only downside is when you press start, you have to start a timer on your phone to know when it's been 40 minutes.
Some genius thought the display should only show how long it's been warming the rice (after the initial cook time) rather than the actual cook time.
If you can live with this, the rice is always perfect an fluffy.
Can this one cook for brown rice, thanks.
Yes it can!
I think that's for technical reasons (only guessing here).
My Panasonic only tells you when it's on the last 13 minutes, prior to that it's blank.
From 13 minutes it counts down each minute.
Having said that, it always takes 45 minutes to cook so I have no idea.
Because the cooker doesn't know how much water in the pot and will not able to calculate how long to dry it.
When the temperature starts to rise over 100c , it knows that the water is dried and can then decide how long to keep it hot to further dry the rice.
Some cooker can also watch the temperature rise time and estimate how much water is inside the Pot.
I thought of that, but thing is it takes about 45 minutes whether I cook one cup or 4.
Pana has fuzzy logic that monitors the rise of the temperature. It always almost ends after 45min.
@jpl:
I get that, but it still doesn't explain why the timer only starts at 13 minutes.
Regardless of the amount or type of rice, it always takes 45 minutes.
For example, if 5L water takes about 8 minutes to boil, 4L water takes about 7 minutes to boil, 3L takes 6 minutes to boil. The Panasonic Fuzzy Logic has a profile of how much water takes how long to boil. So it can use the fuzzy logic "artificial intelligence" to estimate how much water is in there and how long to fully boil the water inside.
When the water is not dried, no matter how much heat the cooker add into the pot, the content (rice +water) can only do up to 100C. At this time it cannot display the count down because it won't know how long more to go.
When the water is dried, the cooker will have more control because it can now add more than 100C or less than 100C to speed up or slow down to match the count down of x min, in you case 13 min.
The 45 min is the fastest time to fully dried the water + the x count down. Some model of Panasonic also have speed cook that take around 30min to finish.
The normal non fuzzy logic cooker cook so much faster than the Panasonic because they just dried the water and then shutdown the cooker when the thermostat reach a certain temperature.
@jpl:
I understand all that, but I've timed it and it always takes 45 minutes.
Whether it's brown rice (which takes double the water) or white, and whether it's 1 cup or 4 or 6.
So if it always takes the same time, why can't the timer kick it at the start?
The 45 magic number is decided by the Pana engineers when they designed the cooker.
Lets take an example here,
I know I can finish a beer in 2 min or if I drink it really slowly I can finish it in 100 min, but and this will annoys my friends in the pub.
So, after hanging around with them, I know that 20 min is the acceptable time for a casual talk and drink time per glass of beer.
At the beginning of a drinking session, I took 5 min to finish half a glass, and in order to achieve the 20 min per glass target, I now know that for the rest of the half I need to slow down and should take 15 min to finish the other half.
So during this last 15 min, I carefully monitor the level of the beer and make sure I don't drink too fast or too slow. At the remaining 7.5 min, the beer level should be a quarter. So by monitoring the level, I can finish the beer in 20 min.
Another example,
With another group of drinker friends, I know that the acceptable is 20 min to finish 10 cans. So if I spent the first 5 min to finish 2 cans, I know that I have to finish the rest of 8 cans in 15 mins. So I spent 7.5 min to finish 4 cans and I know that the remaining 4 cans need to be finished in 7.5 min, 0.5333 cans in 1 min. I keep on monitoring the cans, and watch the time to ensure that I finish off the 10 cans in 20 min.
Well, this is the best I could explain.
Source: I design other type of heating product that has a similar nature as a rice cooker.
Do all machines take 40 minutes? Normal cooking only seems to take 10-15 minutes.
Nope, not all machines take 40 min. The normal non fuzzy logic type cook less than 30min. Pressured rice cooker even less, about 15min.
how do you get it from $79.20 down to 31.10 ????
Use 28 degrees to pay in ENE
Tell them your Ozbargain name.
hmmmm, so if you select pick up there is only one location in Perth that has stock. That's Joondalup.
If you go through their webpage can pick up anywhere
No separate brown rice setting but can cook it ok? I do like how it has a porridge setting too. What's the minimum cup required for cooking? 10 cups seems like a huge cooker…
2 cups minimum and it does have a brown rice setting.
Sweet. Thanks, OP. Got me a new rice cooker. My ex took the old one:)
