      For the sake of your health, it's recommended to use a stainless steel inner pot. Avoid using inner pots made of aluminum or those with damaged non-stick coatings.

    Good brand but 10 cup is really big even for a big family. I’m looking for something smaller.

      I think to cook rice.

      • You might be on to something here.

      Do you understand why anyone needs a coffee machine?

      A number of cultures eat rice as their main carbs and rice cooker is the easiest way to make it.

      Rice cookers cook more than just steamed rice - is also used to cook soup, congee (soupy rice), steamed rice, steaming other things such as dim sims etc. Very useful if you want an automatic cooker that you dont have to watch.

      I can cook rice in a microwave or on the stove top - a rice cooker is more convenient for cooking a range of meals.

    And now I discover that the 'Philips 5000 series' descriptor becomes even more meaningless when they've gone and slapped it on practically any and all appliances, as if all the different yet same shavers weren't already bad enough…

  • perfect time to match it with my Philips 5000 kettle

  • So what is the trick to ensuring perfect rice every time with rice cookers or am I just special? I tried a kmart one and can't seem to get it right.

    I feel like rice still turns out better in a pot on the stove.

      Wash the rice thoroughly. For best results, the water ought to be clear when it's in the pot with the rice.

      My ALDI rice cooker's instructions said to fill up to the relevant line based on the number of cups used. I've had better luck ignoring that and using equal parts water to rice, using the rice measuring cup for the water.

      • Cheers mate.

        To follow on from this, if you're cooking brown rice use a 1:1.5 rice to water ratio.

      it's trial and error depending on which type of rice you cook, which cooker you use and your preference. Generally, you need same volume of water to rice then add a little bit of water for evaporation. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JOOSikanIlI

      Use the measurement cup that comes with the rice cooker.

      Two things to consider, the type of rice you are cooking and if it's old crop.

      If you're cooking jasmine rice, add an extra half cup of water (e.g 2 cup of rice with 2.5 cups of water). If you are cooking Thai rice then start with 1 extra cup of water.

      If you happen to have bought old rice or you like to have rice cooked very soft then add further half cup of water.

      You can then slightly add or reduce the amount of water to cook the rice for your liking. Start over again when you have bought a new bag of rice.

    • Mind you the better rice cookers have fuzzy logic which adjust the temperature automatically for you to give better results.

      But like others have said there are heaps of different factors at play:

      1. Rice type - eg. Brown rice needs more water than Jasmine.
      2. Rice Cooker - Some require less/more than others so you should go with whatever your rice cooker recommends. Normally there'll be markings on the pot.
  • Ordered one , first rice cooker eventhough we make rice 2-3 times week using the traditional stove top method. Wanted to try the yoghurt making as well!
