  • Any non non-stick pot deal?

    • +3

      I use Buffalo with stainless steel pot. It's discounted but more expensive than this brand.

      • +2

        Picked this same one up 4 months ago.
        Have noticed the stainless steel pot stains but still easy to use and don't have to worry about PFOA/PFAS chemicals leeching!

        Highly recommend!

      • How is the rice vs a cheapo kmart one ?

      • I'm keen on a rice cooker with ss pot, but I couldn't see anything on the website that mentioned a dedicated brown rice function.
        Have you tried it with brown rice?

    • @virtualds @Ltsmash @TerryJustTerry @lozbargain Posted the Buffalo rice cooker

    • I am using Instant Pot pressure cooker. so far it works.
      To reduce the rice getting sticked, use a silicone spatula to take out the rice after cooked.

  • That previous thread reads like it's better than Tiger?

    I've never had a Tiger or Cuckoo but am surprised

    • -1

      I've had both, the Cuckoo is just as good IMO but IAMNAA

      • I am not an Asian?

        • Correct. My bar for rice probably isn't that high.

    This or kmart Japanese knock off rice cooker ><

      My Kmart $15 one blew up and tripped the power after only half a dozen uses. Would buy again but concerned my house could burn down.

      Six cups is way too big for this lonely singleton though.

      • This was the one I was referring to:

        https://www.kmart.com.au/product/rice-multi-cooker-43264940/

        65.00 one

        Unfortunately, it seems that it's sold out right now :(

        Kmart appliances are a 50/50 gamble. You get a bad one and replace until you get a good one. I'm on my third $15 Kmart Rice cooker used every week. My first lasted years and years and then the non stick pot got accidently scratched, bought a new one, came home tripped power, started smoking DOA. Replaced and the replacement has been going strong for 3-4 years now. It's non stick, makes like 10 cups and is still as new as the day I got it. Why the hell would anyone spend $100+ just to cook rice only lol

    • We've had this unit for a year and it's as good as.the previous zojurishi unit we had which is 3x the price. I highly recommend this unit despite the stupid name.

    • Depends on what you use it for. Kmart is like taking a gamble with quality. Mine lasted ages and became a hand me down for my mates and now his young family.

  • +1

    I would recommend a good stainless steel rice cooker over any non stick. yes yes chemicals bad but more so they last a hell of a lot longer as there's no peeling/flaking of the non stick coating rendering it useless. a minimal amount sticks to the a heavy bottomed stainless steel rice cooker. as another commenter said, buffalo is a good option.

      Any not made in china?

      • Do you dismantle everything in your household to ensure no components are made in China?

        Not sure i would trust an Italian rice cooker

      Out of all the non stick appliances, rice cooker is kind of the ideal appliance for a non stick bowl.

      It doesn't get hotter than a certain temp (which might be above 100 in a preassurized model).

      You can limit yourself to only use the supplied spatula/scoop because you hardly need anything else.

      Cleaning up after cooking rice is very easy. Most of the time, just wiping it off is enough. No need to wash thoroughly or put it in the dishwasher.

      I've had my Cuckoo pressurised model for over 2 years now without any signs of wear on the rice bowl so far. They sell replacements too in case if it gets damaged somehow.

      My parents had stainless and aluminium ones before. Not worth the hassle of cleaning them up unless you're not going to care for it and want to use metal spoons etc with it.

      • +1

        We had a $10 Kmart jobby for probably 10 years and the non stick lasted the distance .
        We now have a Tefal IHS model that cooks rice better . It did cost 20x as much and takes twice as long to cook the rice .

    • +1

      Couldn't you just replace the bowl with a stainless steel or ceramic one?

  • -6

    I have a $7 kmart rice cooker… works perfect well.

    • +3

      Rice will be much better :). I'm not talking about this product specifically, as I haven't used it, but compared to the Kmart one, others are much better.

      I used a Toshiba rice cooker before, but when I moved out of my parents' house, I switched to a Kmart one. After a few weeks of using it, I gave up and decided to spend more money on a solid one.

  • +2

    I got a similar model cuckoo for about $150 and I love it. Never had a single bad batch of rice, and it looks and works as well as day one.

  • If nothing else, I'll contribute a bit of ancient rice cooker sales rule of thumb. By the by, this model's a workhorse and will continue to sell until I'm retired like Scotty.

    If you're comparing rice cookers, you'll want to start with filtering down to the models that uses a thick, heavy and durable inner pot. After that do what you want with bells & whistles.

    The thin ones are designed with the intent to crumble, and will fight tooth and nail not to sell replacement inner pots (Midea and their OEMs in Kmart ALDI etc), unless you know where to ask (tiger).

  • Does Costco website take afterpay?

    • +1

      Not sure as Afterpay is not mentioned.

      On social media, there are comments about the new Afterpay Plus being accepted in-store but not the original Afterpay.

    i owned this rice cooker for a few years now. still going strong with no issues. i typically cook jasmine rice. pro tip with jasmine rice is to add more water. Forr example, 3 cups of rice you would add 3 cups of water. i usually do 3.75 cups of water. i tried 4 and i tried 3.5, but at 3.75 it comes out perfect for me.

    • I found jasmine to be pretty accurate with the measurements on the cooker. The only rice I've found I need to add a bit extra to is basmati

      Agree though great rice cooker. Mind you I think I've only used one other which wasnt bad either, just didn't cook quite as evenly as the cuckoo

      • basmati i do a full cup more, even 1.5 cups more water

  • Genuine question - why would I buy this over a cheap Kmart one with just the push down button?

    • The rice comes out better. I have this exact one from Costco and it’s a great machine (2 adults 2 young children household). It’s a superior appliance compared to the cheaper ones. For myself, definitely worth the extra $$$. And if you do get it, get rice from the Asian grocery store, it’ll be better too than the Coles/Woolworths stuff.

    • +3

      It the quality. If you eat rice everyday. This is a no brainer deal.

  • Does it sing a song when it finishes making the rice? I bought a tiger one for my mom and this is the only reason she refuses to use it over the old one that does. I spent way too much time researching and camping out for discounts on it

    • +1

      *mum

    • No song on this model

  • +1

    Cuckoo is to South Korea as Zojirushi is to Japan.

  • Paid $170 a month ago. Sucks

    • If it sucks you're using it wrong

  • any one can comment on how easy to clean ? I like to cook soft rice and some time the lid just becomes such a pain to clean ……

    • +2

      I have this model. Easy to clean. You have to clean the pot, lid insert and steam vent every time. The only annoying thing is that the lid doesn't close when the insert is removed (for cleaning). Otherwise perfect rice cooker

  • +2

    Pro tip for everyone buying this - to activate quick cook you have to press the cook button twice. The red light will turn on when it is in quick cook mode. Goes from ~40 mins to ~25 mins for 3 cups of rice using the provided cup measure

  • I used to have dedicated devices in my kitchen and after a bit of research decided to consolidate them with an Instant Pot, it comes with a stainless vessel for all you folk who shun non stick. We have rice almost every day and it does a fine job of it. Granted it's not as hands off as a rice cooker (you need to release the steam after a few minutes) and I still use the standard 1 to 1ish rice to water ratio for jasmine, 3 mins on and 8 mins rest before release and it comes out just like my dedicated rice cooker.

  • How do these compare with an instant-pot. I run it using the built-in rice option and reduce the water a bit (1.25 cups rice to 1 cup water) and I think the rice is awesome. Generally takes under 30 minutes to cook and has stay warm on by default so really easy.

    • Rice cookers work better because they have a temperature sensor that will automatically turn the unit off as soon as the pot is dry and then it'll steam for a set amount of time. They're better for people who just want nicely cooked rice with the press of a button.

      Instant pot works just as well if you have figured out a "default" setting for the type and way you like rice cooked.

      • Fair point. So basically if I'm getting excellent rice with my pressure cooker I should just stick with it.

  • You can buy/use a generic steam basket?
