TOSHIBA Small Rice Cooker, 3-Cup Uncooked, for 1-3 People, LCD Display, 8 Cooking Functions, Nonstick Inner Pot, Grey

Most importantly, it makes great rice every time. It isn't too big or too small - just the right size (3 cups). Has pretty much any feature you would ever need in a rice cooker. The hard-boiled egg function works perfectly as well. Very easy to clean. The display is a dark red which I really prefer to super bright displays some appliances have. Extremely easy to use. Very solid purchase that doesn't break the bank. Very happy with this purchase.

Perfect for my husband and myself. Left my rice cooker on accidentally on after setting the White Rice cooking mode for over 10 hours! Rice was still fluffy and not crispy or burned! Rice was still warm and at a perfect temperature that my rice was still perfectly good. 100% recommend!! I also cooked black rice on the Brown Rice mode perfectly. You can tell the ceramic bowl was nicely made and has some nice weight to it. True non-stick and super easy to wash, food just tends to slide right off. Recommend for college students that live in dorms since it's nice and a not too small. Nice for cooking a complete meal inside, and the mode buttons are easy to see and use.

Easy to clean, easy to use, and damn well worth the money. I got this as a beginners step of having my own rice cooker while I'm independent, and I love it. I wanted this as a 'i dont need a super fancy one yet' sort of purchase instead of getting the one that sings to you and cooks rice at a certain time and etc. I haven't tried to make much else in this cooker. besides WHITE MEDIUM GRAIN SUISHI GRADE RICE. I wash and rinse my rice, 5 times before (3 is unlucky, and 4 isnt enough sorta rule). Drain, and add to the pot. Let it cook for about the suggested 50 minutes and bam it's perfect everytime. No burning, no crunchy undercooked rice, it's absolutely perfect and fluffy. The keep warm feature does it's job and it's definitely a keeper. I will say though, the 50 minute rice time the machine says is a little bit surprising at first, especially if you decide to presoak your rice after washing. But honestly I think that 50 min is [for the 15 min] soaking bit built in since it take a bit to warm up, but even then I NEVER have had a bad batch of rice sense getting this rice cooker. (Also I will say if your bag of rice says cup to water ration on the bag, but the booklet says different always default to the bag of rice -- the people who bag it probably know it a bit better than the spit balling of some algorithm) The added rice paddle and ladle are super handy too. I make Japanese style curry a lot and I use the ladle for my curry and the rice paddle to make everything else involving the rice (fluffy, distributing, packing into rice molds, storing). The inside bowl is removeable and easy to clean with a simple pass with a sponge, a rinse, and a dry. I will say that it definitely didn't smell bad out of the box, and I only gave the pan a soaping and everything else a cursory wipe down. After using it to make rice, you literally just washing it out the same way, soaping and a wipe or two with a sponge and then drying. If you dry it on the rack, it will literally be ready to go back in after about 20 minutes, if not less (no joke.) The booklet comes with recommendations, recipes, and more. It might not sing you a little tune, but it's definitely a good rice cooker for a poor beginner! I was on the fence about having it and using it, but now I love it and even if I don't use it everyday I can't imagine my life without it. Anyway I LOVE IT. If anything happens to it down the line, I will definitely update this review.

I’ve had this rice cooker for over a year now and finally thought a review is warranted. I use this fairly regularly (4x a month) and still love it. I’m pretty simple and not doing anything fancy with it. Works great and love the compact size so it can be stored away easily. It makes enough for me to have several days of leftovers if needed. Easy clean up and very simple design. I am not a rice aficionado or expert, so I can offer no fancy comparisons on that end. I can say this is a quality, sturdy, easy to clean rice cooker. Enjoy!

tested this 3-cup Toshiba against an older Zojirushi Neuro Fuzzy using 145g of Janine Rice rinsed with two changes of water. I used 250g water which matched the recommended physical volume to the lines indicated on both machines. Both machines were started simultaneously and took nearly the same amount of time to complete (54 minutes). The Toshiba rice was satisfactory but still inferior to the Zojirushi. The Toshiba produced a softer, stickier end product. The Zojirushi showed better grain separation with a slightly al dente mouth feel. This is not surprising given that the Zojirushi is triple the price and has long been considered the best home rice cooker on the market. It is worth noting that this comparison is for one cup of rice in a 3-cup Toshiba vs. 5-cup Zojirushi. Also, it's possible that the Toshiba would do better with less water — the manual permits adjusting the water +/- 33% — but I have not done so. Beyond price, there are other reasons to consider the Toshiba. The liner is significantly heavier with a very high quality non-stick coating. I'm replacing the Zojirushi because the liner is heavily scratched and a replacement is out of stock on their website and going for over $120 on the secondary market. Additionally, the Toshiba has settings for cake, hard boiled eggs and slow cooking. It is also available in the smaller size I want (Zojirushi seems to only offer 3-cup in their only Micon line which other testers have found slightly inferior to Neuro Fuzzy). The Toshiba is less bulbous which makes it easier to store and provides an estimated cook time upon starting while the Zojirushi only displays a countdown later in the cooking process. Both keep programmed time when unplugged although the Toshiba does not display the time unless you plug it in. I would prefer the Zojirushi's automatic cord retraction to the removable plug on the Toshiba but the retraction on the Zojirushi has partially failed so that advantage is moot. Overall, the Toshiba should please all but the most discerning rice afficianados and with some adjustments to the water amount it may do even better. It's also worth noting that in third party testing no rice cooker earns perfect marks across all types of rice, but I have not performed those tests myself. I for one am keeping the Toshiba as it provides an excellent value and preferable form factor while producing rice that only barely falls short of the best.

I am absolutely loving this rice cooker! I used it for the very first time, and the rice came out perfect. I will say, the measuring cup/instructions were a little frustrating. The instructions have a chart that tells you how much rice and water to use, but it refers to their included measuring cup. The problem is, the cup doesn’t have all the measurements listed that the instructions call for. For example, it said to use 1 3/8 cups, but there was no 3/8 measurement on the cup. I had to Google the conversion and figure out what it meant, which made the process more confusing than it needed to be. It would be much better if the cup markings matched the measurements in the instructions. That being said, once I figured that out, this rice cooker absolutely delivered. I’m coming from using those inexpensive $20 Aroma rice cookers, and I was constantly fighting with them. My rice would burn, come out dry, or if I added more water to compensate, it would turn mushy. I could never get consistent results. With this cooker, my very first batch came out fluffy, perfectly cooked, and exactly how I wanted it. I’m honestly impressed and wish I had upgraded sooner. The minor frustration with the measuring cup is nothing compared to how well this thing actually cooks rice

I will join the myriad of other people in saying, this is one of the best kitchen investments I've made. I can't believe I've never thought to buy a rice cooker before -- this makes rice easy, delicious, and perfectly consistent across multiple dinners. It's MUCH better than using the stovetop to whip up some Minute rice. The taste and texture of rice, and the value that this adds to your kitchen, is unbeatable. I have been using it exclusively for Jasmine rice, but I'm about to branch out to other types, I'm particularly interested in doing brown rice and making cake. Yes, it has an option for making cake - not rice cake, sponge cake. Like for a small birthday cake. I'M SO EXCITED. Y'all, I am a 34-year-old married man, and I still get giddy every time we're planning a dinner that a side of rice will complement. I brag about this thing with my coworkers. I take the reigns when cooking rice, so that my wife can focus on the delicious main course. I found this method online and it makes it so easy to do rice the right way: Step 1 - I measure out how much rice I want - I usually do 1.5 cups - and pour it into a mixing bowl (any kind of bowl with extra space will work). Step 2 - I fill the bowl with cold water (not hot, as this may affect cooking), and rub all the grains of rice between my fingertips to remove excess starch. Using my hand as a block, I'll pour the water out, and refill with more water. I repeat this process until newly added water is barely cloudy. Step 3 - Using my hand as a block, I pour the water down the drain. It's okay to have a little bit left in the bowl, you don't have to struggle to get all the water out. Step 4 - Pour the rice into the rice cooker bowl. Step 5 - Measure out and pour water into the rice cooker bowl. For Jasmine rice, I do about a 1:1.3 ratio. For 1 cup of Jasmine, I'd do 1-1/3 cup of water. For 1.5 cups Jasmine, I'd do 2 cups water. You can play around with it, but you typically want to use more water than rice when cooking Jasmine, you just don't want to use more than 1:1.5 rice to water for Jasmine. White rice should be a 1:1 ratio, but check online for Step 6 - Press "Menu" until your rice type is highlighted, then press start. For Jasmine, I use the Mixed Rice setting. One important thing to note about this rice cooker, is that the included cup is not a 1-cup measurement. It is smaller than that. I use an actual measuring cup when pouring my rice, and I always use the same cup to also measure my water. Consistency! It's an art, too though, so feel free to eyeball it once you get comfortable with your new favorite kitchen appliance.

Works well, makes rice perfect every time, measurements are good and keeps it heated well without burning it to the pot. The ceramic is so easy to clean and durable, the functions are versatile.
