Sanyo White Micom Rice Cooker and Warmer:
This Sanyo rice cooker and warmer is micro-computerized with multi-menu selections that allow you to make various kinds of rice. With it (and its fuzzy-logic controls and temperature settings) you can make white rice, rinse-free rice, mixed rice, sweet rice, sprouted brown rice, quick-cooking rice, brown rice and porridge. Use it, too, for steaming or slow-cooking soups and stews. The Sanyo micom rice cooker and warmer has a Titanium-coated, extra-thick, nonstick inner pot with a rounded bottom for maximum heat distribution. The inner pot also features a water fill line for rinse-free rice and sprouted brown rice. After cooking is complete, a Keep Warm function automatically kicks in to keep your dish warm until you're ready to serve. On the front of the Sanyo micom rice cooker and warmer is a clock and timer. The LCD clock and 24-hour, preset timer let you set it and go. The Cook/Reheat button keeps your rice in a keep-warm mode; it can be reheated in about five minutes and served as if it were freshly cooked. Included with your Sanyo micro-computerized rice cooker and warmer is a steaming tray for vegetables, a measuring cup, nonstick spatula and a multi-language instructional manual with recipes. A retractable cord keeps counters neat and the cord out of the way.
by Judi (Cottage Grove, OR) 6 reviews Am writing this for my daughter who received this cooker as a birthday gift: "It cannot get any easier now that I've tried it - especially after soaking and washing the rice first. Seemed like a pain so I tried it both ways - WASH THE RICE and follow directionw. :c)"
by Judi (Cottage Grove, OR) 6 reviews The instructions are confusing because of verbiage used. Ultimately I used my known amounts of 2 water to 1 rice and added 2 extra tablespoons of water for "good luck". Not very scientific but my first batch came out beautifully! By following package instructions for wild rice and others along with the additional 2 Tbs. of water results have been successful. On the rare occasion when the rice seems a bit dry (depending of the type of rice and how it is to be used), I dribble about 1 to 3 tsp. of water and keep the unit on warm. Problem solved each time. Gave my daughter an identical unit and she too enjoys the results; she has children at home and uses the unit for soups and such. Truly a time saver with predictable results!
by Dan (Calgary, AB) 3 reviews This rice cooker is so easy to use even my technologically-challenged parents had no problems getting it working. They were very impressed, as I was, with the Sanyo's ability to cook rice to perfection. May I also recommend the purchase of a great book I found on Amazon called
by Dan (Calgary, AB) 3 reviews Within half an hour of receiving my first unit, I had it unpacked, cleaned, read the simple instructions, and had it set up for my first batch of long grain brown rice. It was cooked to perfection. I didn't even add salt for the cooking and the rice was more fragrant and tasty than I had ever experienced. This unit is very simple to operate and has a nice non-stick titanium coating inside the bowl instead of teflon. I would (and did!) purchase again.
by Natasha (Santa Cruz, CA) 2 reviews I have been using a rice cooker for several years, but it did not cook brown or wild rice. After doing some research, the Sanyo product looked like a good option. This rice cooker is wonderful - it's fairly compact, easy to use, and does a wonderful job cooking brown or wild rice.
Would purchase again
