  • Excellent Rice Cooker So Far
Color: 8 Cup Zest
We recently purchased a rice cooker from another company, I won't name it but you might say that their art is cuisine. Rice was fine but it always boiled over. Washed rice, soaked it, didn't wash, tried different brands, made a smaller amount, added butter or olive oil which is supposed to dissipate the bubbles, didn't matter. We returned it and got this product (8-cup). It's flawless. Never boils over, rice is excellent, simple to use. One thing to be mindful of is on the side under the hinge is a small white plastic water receptacle which appears to catch runoff from the lid when opened. Just remember to empty that every use or so. Couldn't be happier and worth every penny! Truly set it and forget it, beeps when rice is done, cleanup is a breeze. ... show more

  • Makes good rice
Color: 8 Cup Zest
Bought this for father's day and really like it. It's easy to use, push one button and it starts making rice. Always cooks the same even if you add too much or too little water, and it's super easy to clean the plate under the lid because it just pops right off. Nice compact size for easy storage too. ... show more

  • The Instant Pot Rice Wizardry: From Skeptic to Rice Enthusiast!
Color: 8 Cup Zest
I recently took the plunge into the mystical world of the Instant Pot Rice Cooker, and let me tell you, my skepticism was diced finer than finely chopped onions. But oh, how wrong I was! This contraption is like having a rice wizard in my kitchen, casting flavorful spells with every grain. At first, I couldn't believe that a kitchen appliance could make such a difference in the rice game. I mean, come on, it's just rice, right? Wrong! From the very first batch, I knew this Instant Pot had some serious culinary sorcery up its sleeve. The rice that emerged from this magical metal cauldron wasn't just rice; it was an experience. Each subsequent batch somehow managed to outshine its predecessor. It's like the Instant Pot whispers ancient rice wisdom to each grain, urging them to reach their full potential. But wait, there's more! This pot doesn't just cook rice; it turns your kitchen into a flavor battleground. It forces broth flavors into the rice like a seasoned general leading an army into tasty victory. The rice becomes a canvas, soaking up all the savory goodness, turning even the most basic grains into culinary masterpieces. And let me tell you about the basmati rice—I summoned the most amazing basmati dish that would make Aladdin jealous. The Instant Pot coaxed out the fragrant aroma and delicate texture of the basmati, transforming my kitchen into a Persian spice bazaar. I half-expected a magic carpet to appear, carrying my taste buds on a flavorful journey. In conclusion, I went from rice skeptic to Instant Pot disciple in a flash. The Instant Pot Rice Cooker is no mere kitchen appliance; it's a rice alchemist, a flavor enchanter, a grain guru. If you're still cooking rice the old-fashioned way, it's time to level up and let the Instant Pot weave its rice magic. You'll never look at a grain of rice the same way again! ... show more

  • Simple and easy to use rice cooker.
Color: 8 Cup Zest
The Instant Zest rice cooker is basic but adequate in its performance. I have used a couple of frankly cheap rice cooker and it's true you get what you pay for. Those cheap cookers, no more than $25 spued, hissed, and foamed with rice sticking to the pot's bottom. I just wasn't going to spring for a$200 fuzzy logic rice cooker. The Instant Zest has none of the issues of the cheap rice cookers and can be purchased in the $50 to $40 range. If you have an Instant Pot it will cook rice to, but it's much to large and difficult to clean whereas the Zest can be cleaned up with a damp sponge and takes up little space on your counter. Its features are basic , but it cooks good rice steams shrimp for fried rice and heats frozen tamales in no time. ... show more

  • Easy to clean, easy to use.
Color: 8 Cup Zest
The rice cooker looks great. Looks like a mini-Instant Pot. The controls are super simple to see and use. The whole thing has a very clean look to it which goes well with our Kitchen decor. The pot itself is easy to clean and so far after 5 months of use shows no signs of wear. It still looks brand new after daily use. I haven't had any issues with it and really love the look of it. I would definitely recommend to anybody looking for a new rice cooker for repeated-daily use that you can leave out on your counter. ... show more

  • I love this rice cooker a lot
Color: 8 Cup Zest
This rice cooker works very well. It is exactly what I needed. I can set it in advance with a delayed start and after coming back from work the fluffy warm rice is waiting for me. It is also not too big and doesn't take too much space. Price is OK.
