Breville BRC350XL Gourmet Duo 10-Cup Rice Cooker

I purchased this rice cooker after multiple attempts to learn to cook rice on the stovetop, :( I did alot of research before buying it, to the point I drove my girlfriend nuts). I don't think you can find another company out there who gets 5 star reviews an everything they make for your kitchen. Very high end appliances at affordable prices, check them out yourself. This cooker will cook 27 cups (thier cup which is about 3/4 cup USA measurements) even though the box says 10 cups (that is uncooked rice). It works flawlessly, is high quality, and has 2 stackable stainless steel (not plastic) steamer trays. This was a big deciding feature for me! You will not be disappointed in this purchase. I bought it at Bed Bath & Beyond because I always get those 20% off coupons on the mail, $51.70 final price. I WILL be buying Breville products in the future like thier WOK and indoor grill, also 5 star rated and now I know why! If you've been on the fence with buying a rice cooker don't wait...Read more

This rice cooker makes good tasting rice in a short time, but if you put more than one cup of rice in to cook it will bubble out all over your kitchen creating a nasty starchy mess.

Just as you wouldn't accept a toaster spitting breadcrumbs over your kitchen counter because you put two slices of bread to toast instead of one, this rice cooker is poorly designed for the capacity of rice Breville claims it can cook.

If you wash the rice well and are only going to cook one cup then this cooker is great, although buying a 10 cup rice cooker for this purpose is redundant.

We've used our Breville Rice Cooker at least 400 times - it's still going strong. Sure, the bucket has a few dents from being dropped by now, but the way it's built it's not a problem. :-) We use it at least every other day to cook rice for our dog and once or twice a week to cook rice for ourselves.

I don't understand the reviewers who complain about the rice coming out "crispy". Huh? We've used all sorts of rice and it always comes out great as long as we mix the right amount of water for the type of rice - pretty easy.

We've gone through a couple rice cookers before this one. Both fancier with displays and all and smaller, but much more work to clean and much slower at cooking rice. This one is just insanely amazingly fast - and it's easy to clean. And as I said, the rice comes out great. Just as with any other cooking method, you have to add the appropriate amount of water. My rule of thumb is to add rice and then add water standing twice as high...Read more
