Proctor Silex Rice Cooker & Food Steamer, 10 Cups Cooked (5 Cups Uncooked), Includes Steam and Rinsing Basket, White (37533G)

I've owned a long series of cheap 6-cup (3 cup uncooked) rice cookers, the $15 - $20 generic ones with no smarts that eventually die after 3 or 4 years. My current 6-cup cooker is dying, and I bought this replacement Proctor Silex cooker in the 10-cup size mostly because many of the reviews mentioned that it is smaller than 10 cups, so I figured it would end up really being a 6-cup cooker. Well, the one I got is definitely 10 cups. I compared it to my 6-cup cooker, and it is 4 cups larger. It is a good rice cooker. It has a non-stick coating that really is non-stick and that so far isn't scratching or peeling off. It switches from "cook" to "warm" mode at the correct time, so the rice is fully cooked and still moist and tender. It comes with a steamer basket, which can be handy. But the nicest thing about it is that it is a little big bigger than a typical 6-cup cooker, and that makes it much more versatile. I can still cook all of the rice dishes and "meals in a pot" that I've always made with a smaller cooker, and they come out fine, no changes needed to recipes, just make them like usual and they cook like usual. But dishes that have a tendency to boil over don't do it so badly or messily in this cooker. And if I want to make a LOT of rice for a party dish or for storage, no problem. Also, since it is a bit higher wattage than typical 6-cup cookers, it comes up to boil / steam temperature a little faster. Which makes dishes cook a little faster but not burn. Given that this is a similar price to most 6-cup generic rice cookers, it's a very good deal. Recommended.

I was looking for a small rice maker that wouldn't make a huge mess or burn rice. THIS WAS THE ONE! It was inexpensive, easy as heck to clean, and reading reviews gave me a great tip! Tip 1 - USE THE SPOON TO COVER THE VENT! When cooking, water pops out of the lid vent, which makes a bit of a mess. Nothing too bad, but the more full the pot the more of a mess it makes. Simply place the white spoon over it, which does not BLOCK it, it only keeps the steam and water from shooting up. It rolls back into the pot and keeps rice moist and properly cooked perfect every time. Tip 2 - UNPLUG IT. This has a toggle switch. Press it down to turn it on. In 20 minutes it pops up, done cooking and keeps it on a warmer stage. I've found if you leave it on this it does heat the bottom too long, but that's natural. Keep heating and it's going to get dark on the bottom. I found that if I go out as i hear it pop up, and unplug it, t he rice not only stays warm for long enough, but it never burns. This is not a cook it and leave it all day pot. This i a cook it and use it once done pot. which is great for me. The warmer does indeed keep it warm, but I don't use it. It's pretty perfect and has yet to give me a bad pot of rice, and I wont over make rice now! The cup that comes with it is 180ml or 3/4th c up, so keep that in mind when measuring. I am unsure if this makes 6 "cups" as in what it's sold with or 6 CUPS as in the measurement, as I have yet to check how much is really made. But two of these 180ml cups tends to make a little over 4 CUPS cooked? And t hat works for me and guests. Bonus Tip: Wash your rice and the mess will always be 100 times less to clean up and a better tasting rice :D

This one keeps it simple and doesn't try to improve upon mankind's greatest invention, which we know now to be rice cooker. I had another rice cooker for a few years that was automatic and had quite a few functions. But it took 40 minutes to prepare simple white rice and you had to be very precise with water level or you would not get very good rice. I cannot tolerate that kind of dishonorable behavior when it comes to rice. It was also harder to clean and I never really used any of the other functions anyway. So, when I was looking for a new one, I wanted it to be very basic and something I could count on. Rice is not something you want to mess with unless you want to displease the stomach lord. This one does the job perfectly. Shiny, crisp, flaky grains of rice is ready in 20 minutes. The water proportion doesn't matter as much. Good rice absorbs a lot of water and the rest goes out as steam, so too much water is usually not a problem with basic cookers. Unless, you get a fancy one that has lid with no holes. If you love rice (as one should), buy this, or any of the many simple cheap rice cookers like this. This is the easiest, quickest and most hassle free way to get the most majestic food on planet. I would strongly recommend not to go for fancy expensive ones. This is one of those cases where sophistication is unnecessary and simple means better. I eat rice everyday and almost everybody I know who eat it everyday tend to have simple rice-cookers. Hope this review helps.

Me encanta, la uso para desayunos y comidas. Me ha facilitado la vida.

This is the second rice cooker of this kind I have purchased. We use ours 2-4 times per week, so after a few years one of the legs finally gave out and the inside became scratched from so much cleaning and usage. I love thé size and it produces perfect rice every time. Highly recommended.

Excelente producto

A panela é enorme, resistente e bem acabada. Único ponto negativo é o cabo de força que é muito duro e a tomada é padrão americano. Esquenta bem rápido e mantém a comida aquecida por muito tempo. E o melhor de tudo é que dá pra fazer vários tipos de comida

I have never owned a rice cooker until now. I only bought this because I was watching a cooking show and the chef said that a $40.00 rice cooker was the best cooking appliance investment he had made. He was right. Rice cookers make cooking rice completely idiot proof and ridiculously easy. Buy this rice cooker. It is cheap, well made, simple, easy to clean. keeps the rice warm automatically after it is cooked and has great capacity. I spent 30 years eating over cooked, under cooked and burnt rice half the time I cooked rice. This cooks any rice perfectly every time - even when you add tomatoes, seasonings, carrots, fresh herbs or anything else you add to rice. It really is a good value.
