  I have the 5 cup version, it's not the best rice cooker in the world (heading off the Cuckoo, Tiger, Zojirushi fans), but it's easy to use, generally very consistent and gives me results I am happy with.

  I have this and agree. Rice gets burnt if we leave it on warm. Now looking at spending a little extra for something better

    How long was it on warm and was it only small portion?

    Burnt as in crispy? I'm after a multi-function rice cooker with the clay plot rice feature in mind. How well does this do for clay pot rice?

    You still have to open it and fluff it around as soon as it finishes it's initial cook. Even if you're not leaving it on warm for a while you're still supposed to mix it around and wait 10 mins or whatever. I'm assuming you're just leaving it to do it's thing and letting it click over to warm indefinitely without giving it a mix.

      Yeah. Really, once you know the all the tricks (and proper rice-to-water ratio), it's not that hard to make good rice. Wife is Asian, and we've been eating rice 5 days a week from a cheapo $40 Breville 8-cup for the past two decades.

        Yea exactly, the problem is people get lazy and think you can skip the final mix step and just leave it, it's in the instructions of most rice cookers including this one.
        Not even a secret technique or anything.

          @Bread Pitt: It's best to fluff the rice, but burning the rice on the keep warm setting is the main reason why I don't like this rice cooker. Better rice cookers, including the CN108WST, control the temperature better and don't burn the rice on the keep warm setting, regardless of whether you stir it or not. But this rice cooker is doubly annoying because it doesn't beep or anything when the rice is done, so there's nothing to tell you when you need to stir it, and there's no timer so you can't really plan either. The CN108WST beeps when it's done, and can be set with the exact cooking time, so it addresses all of these issues. The other problem with this rice cooker is that it loses too much moisture on the keep warm setting, so the rice dries out. Whereas on a better rice cooker, you can hold the rice for hours without any loss of quality (i.e., you can cook rice for lunch, and leave it on keep warm until dinner time, and the rice is still fine. But the keep warm setting on this rice cooker won't achieve that)

      Yeah. Still gets burnt after we fluff the rice. Burnt will be a few hours I say. Unlike our previous tiger which would never burn the rice even overnight.

    I actually enjoy burnt rice. Still have my 20 years old Tiger just to have the burnt rice. :)

    I use this one, and it is top quality. Works incredibly as a slow cooker too, but cooks things in half the time a normal slow cooker does.

  I've had this rice cooker for a few years and can highly recommend. Rice is super consistent and fluffy from top to bottom when doing the full 10 cups. It doesn't have as many the bells and whistles as the other high end Japanese or Korean rice cookers, but it's been perfect for my use case where I'm just using the standard white rice setting 99% of the time.

  papagoose on 11/07/2023 - 18:22

  I don't rate this one either, it's well worth holding out for a deal on a Panasonic SR-CN108WST (5 cups) or SR-CN188WST (10 cups), I've had both a DF101WST and a CN108WST, the CN108WST is a bit more expensive but is vastly better

  I have this rice cooker, but it is not designed to keep rice warm. Once the rice is cooked, fluff it and either use it immediately or transfer it to a container and refrigerate it. I have never had any issues with the quality of rice stored in the fridge. When I want to eat it, I simply heat it up in the microwave.

  This rice cooker produces rice that is slightly better than the average Asian restaurant. It's fantastic entry-level fancy rice cooker. I would recommend it for people who do not eat rice every day. If you plan on storing the rice in the fridge, I don't believe there will be a significant difference compared to a rice cooker with good warming capabilities.

  I've had one of these for a number of years and its one of those appliances that just does it's thing without fuss. Has been a real workhorse in the kitchen.
