Rice Cookers Keep Dying

Ok I am in need of help/advice please.

I have purchased a Rice Cooker from The Good Guys (the Kambrook Rice cooker) it was around $45. It lasted all but 4 cooks and died. So then I tried Bacarat from House. This cost me $99 and lasted all of 10 cooks and hs also now died.

Now…..I thought perhaps I am doing something wrong but I follow the guide to a tea. I place 1 cup of rice to 1 cup of water (typically I do 3 cups of rice at a time). I flick the switch on to cook. After 15 minutes they flick themselves to warm mode and thats it.

I can;t see what I am doing wrong so have concluded Rice Cookers I have purchased so far are either crap OR I am very unlucky.

What I want is a rice cooker that will last but I'm not sure what to get. I see sushi places and chinese take aways that have these little ricer cookers and they must go all day every day. I did some Googling and people have reported buying cheapie brands that have lasted them years. Mine barely have lasted a couple of months!

Any one bought a decent one they can vouch for ?

  • you might want to check your house voltage first. Also make sure the outside of the pot is dry before put back to the cooker.

  • Inducted rice cooker

  • Get a Japanese brand. They are built for daily use all day

    Once you get the timing right it's as good as a rice cooker.

    Other than that Panasonic make really good bread machines so maybe their rice cookers are too. Or just look on Youtube… (how to cook rice in saucepan on the stove).

  • :D

  • We replaced the $12 Kmart cooker with their $13 one that came with a steamer insert. After some startup issues it settled in fine and done 100's of pots.

  • Panasonic 10 cup is in special amazon now be fast
