The surprise that you got a bargain from Hardly Normal!!
Lol, I actually have one I bought from a garage sale for like $5 when I was 18, was just wondering what the difference was.
You can buy new ones for $5. You got ripped off in the garage sale.
Difference is the features and the functions on the more expensive one.
@RSmith: It was like 15 years ago and it's still going strong, I don't think it owes me anything.
$299 just seems very expensive, even for a multi cooker type device.
Other than the amount of rice you want to cook. Basic/cheap rice cookers perform only 2 functions. Cook rice and keep warm without overcooking or burning it.
More expensive cookers like this just add a multitude of additional features and functions to allow you to cook more than just rice.
hello fellow TC fan
What's the difference between a $40 rice cooker from Hardly Normal and a $10 one from Kmart?
I use this 35 dollar one from Kmart without issues. Does everything I need and also 10 cup https://www.kmart.com.au/product/10-cup-rice-cooker/2404301
for $299.99, i would expect the cooker to cook more stuff than just rice!
Lol at the comments. My pot with lid can cook rice too and that's even cheaper than your $40 rice cooker.
I’m a recent convert to using the pasta method to cook rice on the stove. Much easier, I find the rice tastes better and it doesn’t clump and end up with a skin like my rice cooker used to do. Plus it apparently helps wash the arsenic out of the rice (not interested in starting this debate though).

Shouldn't have mentioned it then.
It’s like the air fryer debate there is k mart Aldi ones or quality Philips ones
Same goes for rice cookers
I got a $70 breville and its bloody great. cant see the need for a $300 one.
i got the rice box it has been pretty good
If you brought one today, return it tomorrow and buy it again. It's 30 bucks off.
Spot on
You don't need to return. Just claim the 30 days price guarantee and they will return you the difference.
Don't need to bring anything anywhere.
Thank you. You saved me $30 :)
Don’t buy this unless you need a 10 cups rice cooker.
Anyone know the difference between this model and the S18A?
Ever been to an Asian wedding where they want cash as the wedding gift but you just don't feel comfortable giving cash. Bring this as the gift and get respect from everyone in the room, folks will be talking about you and your awesome gift for years to come.
Cash is the OZB way especially considering how expensive these Japanese rich cookers are.
I couldnt find a bargain for JKT S18A with bing lee deal for sub $400 :( anyone know when they coming next?
My parents have this. It takes 1hr to cook brown rice, I have no idea why.
It also doesn't tell you how much time is remaining until there's 10min left and then it decides to countdown from 10m
As part of the program there's probably a soaking phase. A rough analogy think of a grain of rice as a leg of lamb, chuck it in the oven at 180 or something and gently cook it or just cover it and smash it at 250 for a texture which isn't as nice.
As for the countdown the cooking time will be different because of the fuzzy logic, so generally it can't reliably say until X from end. When I roast coffee beans for example I know I will stop roasting X seconds after the second crack…but I won't know when the second crack will be because of different variables (temp, humidity, bean, roast size etc).
Sorry for info you probably didn't care about.
Hey that's cool, thanks for that. I'm always eager to learn new things.
1hr is still a long ass time… White rice takes about 40min as wll. Even stovetop takes less time. I use my pressure cooker which cooks rice in half the time of stovetop.
I'm curious as to why people don't use the absorption method on the stovetop to cook rice. In a nutshell, rinse/wash it in the cooking pot 4 or 5 times until the water runs clear. Cover it with water and then a bit more, bring to a rapid boil uncovered for 2 minutes, then cover and turn down the heat to the lowest setting for another 2 minutes, then turn the heat off and leave it for 30 minutes. Done. I love cooking gadgets (I have a slow cooker, pressure cooker) but it's so easy with the stovetop method I can't fathom why you would need a rice cooker.
You lost me at step 2.
Read it again, slowly.
I can't fathom why you would need a rice cooker.
Here are a few examples to consider…
You have small kids and you can't afford to stand up in front of the stovetop doing what you have described.
Time based cooking… Sometimes I setup a timer so the rice will be ready by 6 AM. I don't need to wake up early to cook the rice.
People use the method that is convenient and works for them. You are happy with the stovetop, good on you.
Hi,can anyone in victoria tell me if costco still have tiger rice cooker in stock? Thanks you
What's the difference between this $299 rice cooker and say a $40 one from Hardly Normal?
