I have both, but loving this, faster cooking & more fluffy..
Cuckoo rice cookers can produce slightly stickier rice compared to others. This may appeal to those who prefer this texture but might not suit those who favour fluffier rice. Full comparison here
My friend has a Cuckoo rice cooker, and while it makes tasty rice, the design has issues. The lid is bulky and lid-to-base ratio feels unbalanced, so when you press the open button, the lid pops open too fast with a loud clunk, making the whole cooker shift if the pot’s empty.
The control panel is another issue, it’s cluttered with way too many buttons and text, making it look messy and hideous. It’s disappointing considering how modern it tries to look
I have the unit in this bargain, there is no such issue with the lid here, the base is much heavier than the lid for this to be a concern, empty or full.
Buttons, once you get to know it, it's simple, but it does look like a handful at first. Instructions are borderline moronic though.I concur with the way you described the manual
Just a tip if you don't want soft sticky rice, go to the manual and look for the soft/sweet option, set to lowest for soft. There is another mymode option if adjusting the soft isn't enough.
Has good manual controls you can tweak to find what works for you and the rice your using.
This one is very good, rice can stay in warm mode for days. Cooking time to short.
Days? Jesus, you're over cooking
it's "keep warm" mode, rice is always ready in the pot. Some cheap model can't do that, the rice would be dry
How short?
3 cups ~ 20s mins to finish. It's a pressure cooker
You must use the quick pressure setting, 2-3 cups for me on the standard Gluten setting (Jasmin rice) is 25 mins from start to finish. This uses pressure, but not the high pressure of the quick cook. So it's half the time of most rice cookers as most don't use pressure.
Results mean that on a pure quality rating, it would be lower than say a Zojirushi with no pressure, but it's still fantastic quality. I like to eat the rice on it's own with nothing added it that good.I just got some Lion Thai Glutinous that I am keen to try out.
Bought one! Thank you OP
Thanks OP
None of my relatives knows how to use it and ask me for help whenever something goes wrong. The UI of this is pretty bad compared to its competitors.
The rice it makes is quite sticky, which I personally don't mind. Having to clean the water collection tray is a PITA since I'm the only one who does it and often discover foul water when I do.
UI, is not bad, instruction manual is a nightmare though. I gather if you don't use it much and forget things, then yeah, it could be hard to use.
As I cook 99.999999999% of the time, the other half does always ask what she has to do when she does go to use it.Water tray is hardly a PITA, it's literally one second to grab it from the back. You can't blame clueless/forgetful people that don't handle a simple task on the machine. Maybe mack a big sticker for it to remind them to grab the tray after each cook.
I don't have this cooker, but having to read the manual to use a product is a sign of bad UI.
It's not as simple as that, as there is the language aspect. It's a Korean product, Korean terms translated.
You do not have to read the manual, but like anything with many options, it's best to. Hell, I read manuals on simple things all the time as I like to know how it should work to it's best, and good UX can only achieve so much.
UI is complete dog, not helped by the horrible translation. I had the manual with me when trying to adjust the soft and sweet and it took a few tries to even get it working. Don't even get me started about the My Mode custom. Even now I still don't know if the soft/sweet setting stays or I need to set it everytime (which I do).
Thanks OP!
The Dark Grey Model is also available: https://www.costco.com.au/Appliances/Kitchen-Appliances/Rice…
This one’s way easier on the eyes! The grey colour with bright white buttons makes everything pop and way easier to read, unlike the light silver one where the text just blends in.

Can you just cook one cup of rice with this? What's the minimum.
I have the 6cup version. Could cook one cup of rice well.
For a family of 5, we usually cook 2.5 to 3 cups. Not sure why Costco only sells this 10 cup version.You can use it as a general pressure cooker, works wonderfully for various dishes like pork and beef 🤤 so even tho you may be cooking a small batch of rice, I would still think to get the bigger size unit for the versatility.
The unit cooks incredibly fast, I have on occasion cooked two cups of rice with the fast mode (less than 15min I think), take the rice out, and put in a meat dish for pressure cooking another 15 minutes.. juicy and succulent
Rice is our staple food, so more than 95% of the time we need it to cook rice. Also, despite it being a pressure cooker, by looking at the valves, latch,… I doubt it could keep the pressure as high as normal pressure cookers.
For high-pressure cooking, I would recommend the InstantPot Duo Crisp :) It looks ugly, but cooks well.
@Averell: We have a fissler pressure cooker also, but often find ourselves just using the Cuckoo for daily / quick meals, cleans more easily, works well enough couldn’t tell any difference in cooking time. We now only woop out the fissler for larger batches.
I mean yeah a dedicated pot may perform better and feature rich, but it’s one more item on the bench top!
@Lastora: I see. I'll try that Cuckoo to cook something else other than rice. But most of the time, when we need pressure cooking for a meal, we'll have rice in that meal :p
Also, despite it being a pressure cooker, by looking at the valves, latch,… I doubt it could keep the pressure as high as normal pressure cookers.
For high-pressure cooking, I would recommend the InstantPot Duo Crisp
Instant Pot Duo Crisp Pressure: 12psi
CUCKOO CRP-CHSS1009F Pressure: 27.0 PSI (188 KPa)
So yeah, this Cuckoo has more than double the pressure of that Instant Pot.
I was seriously looking at buying the Instant Pot Duo Crisp as it looked like a great all in one idea. When deals got posted here for Instant Pot, and the Crisp got raised, many OzB users that owned the Crisp were not impressed. They said it didn't do either job well, and you are far better off getting both a regular Instant Pot and a dedicated air fryer.Awesome that you are happy with the results you get. If you were to look at the Crisp and this Cuckoo side by side, as I did at Bing Lee, you will see a night and day difference in the construction quality between the two. And you would hope so as the Cuckoo is a damn sight more expensive. So no surprise to me that it handles over double the pressure with ease, it is lightyears ahead in its construction.
We constantly cook approx 1.7kg of chicken breast in ours under the Pressure setting to break down and use for tacos, sandwiches etc… it's awesome. I have done a few one pots with great results. I need to try more things.
@snuke: Thanks.
I'll need to check how to use the Cuckoo for pressure cooking :DActually, my wife and daughter are the actual users of those. I was only responsible for purchasing and reading instructions (when needed).
Regarding the air-frying feature, the Instant Pot is our third air fryer (a Philips that was too small for us and a Tefal that stopped working after 3-4 years). My daughter and wife are happier with the Instant Pot, both regarding the performance and the cleaning.Regarding the pressure-cooking feature, that's our first one (the Cuckoo doesn't count, because we never used it to cook anything other than rice), so we don't know whether it's good or bad. My wife's only complaint is that it takes a lot of time to release the pressure.
I have a zojirushi I lugged back from japan 7+ years ago - how does this compare for Japanese rice?
