I did a quick search and yeah there are quite a few popular $400+ rice cooker deals.
@Mortin: Holy shit @Wardaddy's level of self awareness is -100.
- Incorrectly assumes everyone else's opinion
- When proven wrong, falls back on his own personal opinion as if it exonerates him for his mistake in #1
- Assumes that people are downvoting him for having a different opinion when in reality he's being downvoted for having a highly aggressive and dickish tone
$424.99 using ebayplus…
Now, that's a proper deal. Market leader, Instant Pot is much better value than this "deal".
I love the joke and agree with the sentiment. So many poor sods on Oz bargain compelled to neg it, that's hilarious too
I have it and it's not very good. Makes my rice very glugy and sticky unlike other rice cookers where it makes them fluffy and light.
This is due to being a pressure cooker.
Are you using gluten option? Try soft gluten, takes longer but I find the rice way better
You are clearly doing something wrong, and to be fair, that is not all on you, the instruction manual can be a bit hmmm, special in places.
I have the 10 cup version of this, and I usually only cook 2.5 cups of Jasmine, or Aus Brown, and right now Daawat Bsmati Brown. Hell, even the plain White rice cooks as it should. Jasmine comes out fantastic, and as an occasional rice eater, this is the first time I have had rice where I was happy to just eat it plain, 100% on its own.
Look at the "How to use the cooking menu" section and it will guide you on what setting you should use.
GLUTIN. RICE - When you want to have sticky and nutritious white rice.
SOFT GLUTIN. - When you want to have a little more sticky and nutritive white rice than Glutinous rice.
I cooked up a batch of mix, Aus White with Brown Basmati, and cooked it with some fresh corn kernels, plus frozen peas and capsicum, and it came out great. I should have added some Soi when it cooked, as Aus White is bloody boring tasting, added afterwards was fine.
I did my first test of leaving the rice in the cooker on Keep Warm over a two day period, and it was great. It did use about 60W to maintain the heat though, similar to a medium size fridge.Is there a way to disable Keep Warm in settings or it has to be manually cancelled after each cook?
Why would you want to disable the keep warm setting?
Food poisoning bacteria grow best at temperatures between 5°C and 60°C. Keeping food hot (above 60°C) stops the bacteria from growing.
Hence the keep warm function on the rice cooker (~65°C) that ensures your rice temperature is set ABOVE the temperature at which most pathogenic germs are suppressed.
That aside. No. You need to manually cancel.
@Tiggrrrrr: You don't need fancy rice cooker to do that and waste energy for such thing. Very easy to tell if rice goes bad, and it's more often just mould on them not some nasty bacteria. I leave cooked rice at room temperature over a day or two all the time. And I bet you those yummy fried rice from almost chinese takeaways spend a lot more time at ambient than that, in fact taking mould out of them is what they do all the time.
@lgacb08: There's a spectacular amount of misinformation in your post. Rice is not a low risk food.
leave cooked rice at room temperature over a day or two all the time.
Never do this. Here's why :
https://www.nhs.uk/common-health-questions/food-and-diet/can…@lgacb08: Thanks for insulting my ethnicity. Many of my family and friends own/run restaurants and suggesting they maintain such poor hygiene practices as to leave rice unrefrigerated for a day or two is offensive and libellous.

Just because you do idiotic things, does not make it a truly viable alternative.
The manual on these is terrible
I got the CR-0675F the other day and I'm not even sure whether it is even a pressure cooker rice cooker.Constantly says 'sticky' for the setting and cannot get rid of it.
I'm not even sure whether it is even a pressure cooker rice cooker.
How do you buy something and not know what it offers?
The manual will not say anything about pressure cooker, nor will any of the sales/marketing material. If an item makes no notice of a feature anywhere, that's because that feature doesn't exist on that product.I just had a browse (not thorough read) of the user manual, and I can't see the word "sticky" once. Unfortunately, the PDF version is not searchable due to how they have created the doc:
https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0589/3344/4782/files/CR-06…Aprat from your Sticky issue, that manual seems pretty straight forward.
I also have a Cuckoo pressure cooker model that I don't use because the rice texture is horrible; I forked out for a normal (and cheaper!) Cuckoo model and the end result is much much better.
Were you cooking the rice using the Pressure Cooker function?
I have had a Cuckoo IH for years. I don't recommend them - Cuckoos are good products, but I'm not a fan of Cuckoo Australia. They don't carry spare parts for the cookers they bring to Australia for very long. I cracked a dew dish and wanted a replacement. It was available overseas, but Cuckoo Australia had no interest in getting it. I paid a Korean ebayer to go and buy it for me.
My next cooker will be a Zojirushi.
Hope I don't have to deal with that, but….
Warning to those buying from Cuckoo Aus, there are frequent complaints of long waits on actual shipping, and zero communication from them.
If you are used to a Tiger or Zojirushi, the Cuckoo will give you rice with a different taste and texture compared to what you are used to. Keep in mind that the features in this Cuckoo (induction heating and pressure cooking) would cost over $1000 in the equivalent Zojirushi version.
I went from Zojirushi induction non-pressure to this Cuckoo (10 cup version), and I prefer the Zojirushi. However, if you are after a pressure cooker as well, then the Cuckoo will be able to perform that function too.
For rice with texture as close as possible to Zojirushi, use the Sushi rice setting and add water to the bottom of the line on the water level indicator based on the number of cups of rice. A tiny difference in water ends up being a big difference in this Cuckoo rice cooker. That's why I prefer the Zojirushi.
Bought one the last time they were on sale. A game changer if you are trying to change from white rice to brown. The GABA rice option makes the brown rice soft and fragrant and easier to eat compared to cooking brown rice in a normal rice cooker. Takes 2-6 hrs though depending on the setting but worth it.
All you’ll be able to afford is rice after wasting $440 on this
Already posted in the printer vs rice cooker thread, but :
Rice cooks well in a microwave, which you probably already have.
15 mins, 70% power, uncovered, 200ml of boiling water to every 100g of rice. Adjust to suit your particular microwave, and use a glass dish so you can see what is going on (ie if you need to add extra boiling water towards the end).
Add an extra 20 minutes and double the boiling water for brown rice.
Rice cooks well in a microwave, which you probably already have.
And it cooks better on the stove than the microwave, I don't think anyone argues that it can cook "well" with other methods.
I can buy a 12 pack of Staedtler colouring pencils for $3, but that isn't going to do it compared to my Faber-Castell Polychromos ($45 for 12).
You can buy a 65" LCD TV for $549, does that make everyone that spends more than that a fool? Look at all of these idiots spending over $3000 for their OLEDs etc….
Christ, those spending $549 are idiots, you can buy a 55" for $299.People buying these are looking for better than "well", they are looking for great to fantastic for all (most) types of rice, plus the convenience of timers & keep warm etc.
This might be shocking to read, but not everything is for everyone.
I never understand in all of these rice cooking posts how pole seem to take offence at others looking for something better than what they would settle for. It's just not for youAnd it cooks better on the stove than the microwave
I completely disagree. Microwave rice is pretty good, you can get fairly close to rice cooker quality.
There's a noticeable difference between stove-top rice and rice cooker rice.Massive rant about the price of unrelated items
I think you replied to the wrong post, I didn't mention anything about the value of rice cookers 🤷🏼♂️
