Elite GourmetERC2010B Electric Rice Cooker with Stainless Steel Inner Pot Makes Soups, Stews, Porridge's, Grains and Cereals, 10 cups cooked (5 Cups uncooked), Black

I consider myself a very good cook but could never get simple white rice to turn out edible. I had been contemplating getting a rice cooker for years but did not want one more gadget or gizmo that I never use kicking around and taking up more space (yeah, you, air fryer). I finally did one day and wish I had done it sooner! Perfect rice, every time! Been using it for about 9 months now. I follow the instructions on the rice package and always make the same amount which is perfect for 2 people with some leftover (so, 3 generous servings). A measuring cup comes with it but it is not a standard sized cup, it is smaller. My measurements are standard. I use 1 cup white rice, rinsed, 2 cups chicken broth, two teaspoons of butter, and seasonings, usually salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. I plug it in just before I cook it because it is automatically on the warm setting once plugged in, there is no "off" button, then press the button down to start the cooking process. It takes 25 minutes for the button to pop up and leave it on the warm setting for 10 more minutes. Fluff. The cooked rice takes up a little less than half of the bowl when it's done. I don't think 10 cups of cooked rice would actually fit in it though. Double the amount I usually make would comfortably fit. It does bubble while cooking so you need some extra room on top and it splatters out the vent hole in the lid a little also. Some rice on the bottom turns golden and sticks a little but I think it tastes delicious! It adds nice flavor and texture to the rice. The rice spatula that comes with the cooker works perfectly for this. I have rubbed the bowl with butter to see if it helped with sticking but it really didn't make enough difference to bother with the extra step. The bowl is not really difficult to clean because of this either. I have yet to venture out and try adding other things to the rice. I always make the rest of the meal separate but I have seen quite a few other recipes you can make in this too with veggies and stuff that look good to try. I would highly recommend getting one if you're thinking about it. This particular model was very affordable, simple to use, easy to clean up, and works great so far for what I have used it for.

Loving it so far. Easy to use, easy to clean. Cooks rice as per instructions, I add a little extra water because I prefer my rice fluffy, not too firm.
