CUCKOORice Cooker 6 Cup Uncooked / 12 Cup Cooked, Korean Fuzzy Logic Rice Cooker Small with Delay Timer & Keep Warm Setting, Versatile Food Steamer for Cooking, Non-Stick Inner Pot, Silver (CR-0632F)

I’m so excited my new rice cooker came today! I’ve been without for three months since my kitty knocked my old one off the fridge! I ordered the pink and it’s so pretty. I immediately washed the parts and made jasmine rice. I followed the instructions and it came out perfect! It took about 30 minutes to cook 2 cups of rice. I can’t wait to try the other features. So far, I’m very pleased.Instructions were easy to follow and I appreciate the fact it has a holder for the spoon.

My family have always brought Tiger brand rice cooker from Japan which lasted 10-15 years but after these new style of space pod like cookers came out, the Tiger brand from Costco, it would always go bad due to a lack of ventilation and condensation after the second day. I have no idea why the new models does not have a water collecting cup like the previous tiger brand but alas, it was returned. I have heard of cuckoo brand from watching my favorite streamer on Twitch when she did a cooking stream and thus, the person who owns it is a chef. I decided to jump the gun and buy one. Out of of the box, it does look like the newer style pods one however, it has a water collecting cup! This means that the rice will stay good for a week! Sure enough, after cooking it, the rice came out perfect and stayed the same throughout the week! After reading the manual, I activated the "turn off" during night time, but "reheat" again starting at 4am and that further preserves the rice! I have no idea how South Korea manufactures rice cookers but this is the Cadillac of all rice cookers! I will never go back to another brand!Con: the buttons are extremely difficult to press, especially with no rubber feet for resistance. You will have to press in with the other hand holding the back of the rice cooker for resistance. Also, the top flings open when you open it so you should be prepared with the second to gently catch it.Easy start mode: To start cooking, press "cancel" (to cancel the reheat option) and press "cook." Press it again if you want turbo mode (supposedly cook rice faster but I rarely use it). Nonetheless, it takes two buttons (cancel and start) to start the rice instead of a lever like in the older style rice cooker. Takes 40 mins to cook rice. Well worth it.Big enough to feed a family of four.

The cooking pot in this rice cooker is better compared to other rice cookers. The cover can be removed for washing/cleaning. It has multiple functions for different types of cooking. What I like most is the timer. I can put rice and set time for cooking. When I return form outside after several hours, the timer cooks the rice at correct time and I get warm rice without needing to wait.

I Love this rice cooker!! Small enough for just me, and big enough for when I have family over for plenty to go around. Perfect rice every time

I had a tiger and it finally broke. I wasn't looking for something fancy, more so consistency, durability and reliability. I bought a replacement Zojirushi (nothing fancy but simple warm/cook button design) and found that it was a bit cheaper in quality (likely a China factory vs Japan model), the inner lid was so flimsy. I tried the Panasonic with no LED screen but 4 or 5 modes, button panel but did not like the fact that you could not remove the lid or the inner lid for cleaning but to it's credit it worked well despite that. I heard good things about Cuckoo so I decided to try this even if it was fancier than I'd want but for the sale price I couldn't argue.Pros:- cooker pot was heavy duty! The weight and thickness was solid so probably accounts for their claim of cooking faster and evenly via induction plate- inner lid can be removed for cleaning- inner lid thicker than other major brands- diameter aka footprint is compact compared to the tradition rounded with the handled lid. Certainly is a more streamlined design.Cons:- I just don't like the "slick" touch panels with a button behind them because eventually the plastics begin to crack and separate. It happens to all after so many presses (washers, dryers, dishwashers, etc). Functionally it's fine, I just know what's coming in the future. Never had to worry about that with the simple warm/cook toggle lever.I will update when the panel plastic cracks but otherwise, it has left a better impression than my past Tiger - japanese made, Zoji - china and Panasonic - japanese. Again, this is compared to the basic+ models, not the fancy touch screen wifi enabled Alexa controlled blah blah blahs. If you want a just fancy enough workhorse that is easy to maintain and use, this is a good pick.Update: After some uses, I confirm it is a solid pick. The rice comes out consistent and the maintenance is easy enough. I tried the firm and sticky rices and they come out as expected. Your water level is key, I find a good rinse and a sit in the water for 10 min before cooking get it just right what I like the texture to be. I haven't tried brown rice or anything but I have tried steaming frozen dumplings and shrimp shumai - nice job (clean it down asap after the shrimp shumai to prevent the seafood taste to leak into the next batch of rice - I may just use something else but good to know this can steam that too). A good tip for that is put a light wipe of oil on the basket so dumpling or shumai delicate skins won't tear.

I’ve been eating rice my whole life and have used Zojirushi rice cookers for the past 20 years. This time, I decided to try something new because the replacement parts for Zojirushi were too expensive. I was pleasantly surprised. This cooker makes rice beautifully! No issues at all, and it might even be better, especially considering the great price. Highly satisfied!
