Cuckoo Rice Cooker | CRP-HF0610F (Ivory/Red)

I've owned several high-tech rice cookers, but this one is my first pressure type cooker, and it uses induction heating. My last rice cooker was the Zojirushi NS-ZCC10 Neuro Fuzzy 6-cup model, which served me well for many years.

The Cuckoo HF0610F is a fairly big and heavy for a 6-cup rice cooker, bigger than my old Zojirushi. It's very solid feeling; the lever on the top is for sealing the pressure mechanism. The feature layout of the Cuckoo is not very intuitive and the english instructions are badly translated, making the unit a bit confusing to operate. For example, the difference between "Glutinous" and "Sushi" settings; from the manual:

"Glutinous : When you want to have sticky and nutritive white rice.
Sushi: When you want to have a little more sticky and nutritive
white rice than Glutinous rice."

It is impossible to eat instant rice, fast rice or even most restaurant rice when you have used this amazing rice cooker.

Instead of repeating the EXCELLENT review written before me, I'll simply add this...

It's hard to eat california rolls after you've tried the good stuff....


The biggest thing that sets this rice cooker apart from others (esp cheaper ones), not only Induction Heating (heats all around, not simply the bottom).. but it's a HIGH PRESSURE cooker.... not LOW PRESSURE (like most). The result? The taste.

I bought mine from BEST BUY..... yes... BESTBUY online and got it with 0% interest 12 months (bought Inception to get over the $300 mark).
