Hamilton Beach Digital Programmable Rice Cooker & Food Steamer,12 Cups Cooked (6 Uncooked), with Slow Cook & Hard-Boiled Egg Functions, Steam & Rinse Basket, Blue (37561)

The rice cooker has been a great addition to my kitchen. It takes a lot longer than our previous rice cooker, but really not too bad. By the time you start the rice, everything else that's being prepared comes out about the same time. I do feel it's a little awkward to clean sometimes as the condensation gathers around the lid area but I've learned to clean it then leave open on the counter overnight to dry and put away in the morning. Overall, I'd purchase again.

This is a great rice maker. Easy to use. Makes the perfect cooked rice.

Go a bit bigger than you think you need. But this is a great little rice cooker. Awesome for steaming vegetables too. Works better than those microwave bags. Crisp veggies! Rice is good but needs to be plaid with the get it the way you want it. Experimentation.

We bought this rice cooker because it had a function to cook hot cereal. My husband makes steel cut oats in it every night to have for breakfast in the morning. I ordered a new one for him for Christmas so we could put one in our new RV. The product arrived in the original package with some slight damage to the package. Because it was a gift I did not open it up I just wrapped it up for Christmas. We didn't need the rice cooker right away so we put it aside till we did. It is the middle of April and my husband is just now opening up the rice cooker to use it. When he opened the box he discovered that the outside it dented pretty good. It still functions but just doesn't look as nice as the others we have previously owned. That is why I gave it 4 stars. Functionality: this is a great product. We have purchased three in the last couple of years. We originally bought this rice cooker to replace a small round crockpot that the ceramic crock had broken. This product works well. My husband loves that he can set up his cereal before he goes to bed and it's ready in the morning. It has a delay timer hat will start the cooking and then when it's done it keeps the cereal warm and till ges ready to eat it. I have also made rice in it. I love that I can set up the rice to cook and then not have to worry about it while it's cooking. The rice comes out perfectly cooked and fluffy. It is not sticky. The rice cooker has an insert for steaming a small amount of vegetables or you can hard boil five eggs. I have not done either of those functions cause I have other ways to cook those items. Overall we love this product and highly recommend it. I would definitely buy it again.

My husband and I just can't cook rice. We've tried and failed too much. Decided to try out this rice cooker and it did not disappoint! Its so easy to use and the quality, taste, and smell? Omg I want rice all day cuz of this! The lid seal is great and easily pops off for easy cleaning. Its so simple my kids could use it. We learned the hard way USE THE MEASURING CUP IT COMES WITH! The water level and amount of rice are different measurements than US standard. So if you want the nice texture of rice, use what it comes with and read the instructions, cuz it also says it there as well.

I got the 10 cup uncooked version, and overall it’s a good rice cooker. It looks nice on the counter, the size is perfect for family meals, and it’s easy to clean. The non stick pot and the steam basket are super convenient. The rice comes out pretty good, fluffy and not sticky, and the “keep warm” feature works well without drying it out. The only thing is that it takes longer to cook than I expected. It still gets the job done, but I feel like I spend more time waiting compared to other rice cookers I’ve used. It’s a decent product and works as described, but I’m not sure I’d buy it again just because of how long it takes.

Had it for couple months and works really good. Bought it for the delay timer.

I've had a multitude of these multi-function rice cookers of various brands. This was the first time I tried the HB brand and quite frankly I'm not impressed. I have given it many tries thinking that I was just spoiled by the other brand that I have purchased in the past. Tonight after another crunchy undercooked rice I am done. I used these cookers 3-4 times a week. I'll be going back to using my older rice cooker which has seen better days; however, it still does a better job on my rice and grains than this cooker. The only thing I do like about the HB cooker is how you can remove the top plate in the lid to be able to clean behind it. A plus in my book and the only reason I have given it 4 stars. I will not be buying another one. I will be going back to the other brand that I have purchased in the past. This brand does not make the cut and quite frankly I could quite cheerfully put it on the curb with a FREE sign.

Me encantó la facilidad con la que funciona, lo que más me gusta es que puede cocinar semillas duras como frijol o lenteja y ya no tendré que usar la olla express. Aún me faltan muchas cosas que probar pero estoy muy contenta con mi compra.

Simple of use (I only ever touch two of the buttons), feels pretty sturdy, and not as ugly as some other rice cookers out there. A perfect serving of rice each time.

I haven't had this rice cooker for a long time yet so I cannot say how well it will hold in a few months from now, that being said I can say it's a very nice rice cooker for its price. Someone mentioned the rice was sticking but I've not had this happen once. It could be user error or maybe just a defective rice cooker but mine is doing just fine. The non stick coating is working quite well. I've also not ever had any liquids spilling over and leaking from all the times I've used it so far. Yes, it is small. It's 4 cups UNCOOKED (which means it doubles to 8 cups once cooked). That being said, look at the price. You won't get a huge fancy steam cooker for that price. It is decently sized and working well for the price you pay. I'm quite happy with the purchase personally. Also, the steam basket is white. It is normal for certain foods to stain. This happens with anything you use to store or cook certain foods. I like to batch cook my food but this will not be the rice cooker for that, which is fine. I'm happy with how it's getting the job done so far.

Al ser principiante en mi cocina esta ha sido una excelente compra, mientras preparo el platillo principal se prepara en automático el arroz. Me encantó

La mejor compra después de probar varias está esta es la arrocera que más vale la pena, llegando y haciendo sushi queda perfecto, evidentemente siguiendo las instrucciones ( mismas que vienen en el contenido de la caja) UNA CHULADA !!!!
