This review is from: Sanyo ECJ-D100S 10-Cup Micro-Computerized Rice Cooker/Steamer, White with Stainless Accent (Kitchen) This is a review from a family for whom rice is a staple food (rice is cooked in the house every day). The only variety used though is white rice (long grain). We bought this about 6 months ago - wanted to gain some experience before posting a review about it. During this time this cooker has been used about 180 times (once a day). There are different methods of cooking rice: a) microwave, b) pressure cooker, c) boiling rice in a vessel in an electric/gas countertop oven. The key to getting rice cooked in the consistency desired (the family prefers fluffy) is the ratio of water to rice, regardless of method used. This holds true for the Sanyo electric cooker also. This optimum water/rice ratio varies with the variety of rice used (even among the long grain white rice varieties). The marked measurements in the cooker are a guide only - and will not get the desired result all the time. Keeping this in mind, I will start with my biggest gripe:
a) I fail to understand what...Read more 72 of 77 people found the following review helpful: By Franklin Mom (MA USA) - See all my reviews Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) This review is from: Sanyo ECJ-D100S 10-Cup Micro-Computerized Rice Cooker/Steamer, White with Stainless Accent (Kitchen) Being a full time working mom I need a good machine helping me with cooking so that I have more time for my little boy. First, I wasn't sure 10-cup or 5-cup? Since 5-cup model is not much smaller. Bigger is better when we have gathering at home. I was comparing with zojirushi 10 cup model features with this model and decided to buy this Sanyo. The main reason I bought this model is that it has a slow cooker option which I use it often. I never try zojirushi brand so can't compare to it. I have it for about 3 months. So far it works as promise. - It's smaller than it looks like in the picure. - 3-in-1 that saves a lot of space in the kitchen. - Didn't smell any chemical like other reviewers mentioned - I measured the water exact as instructed but the rice is a bit too hard for me since I like it very soft so the fix is adding more water. You have to try a couple times to get used to the cooker and also depends on the rice and preferences. - Cooked...Read more 87 of 97 people found the following review helpful: By hope wells (usa) - See all my reviews Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) This review is from: Sanyo ECJ-D100S 10-Cup Micro-Computerized Rice Cooker/Steamer, White with Stainless Accent (Kitchen) if i could give this a 10 i would!
this is a great, great, great cooker....it comes with the steamer basket, measure cup and spatula...has so many options like the zojirushi but way better on the price! does so much more than cook just rice..get the ultimate rice cooker cookbook..beth hensperger..try it and you'll see.... i also purchased the 5.5 cup model...but if you can only buy one..buy the larger of course...sometimes you need a larger cooker and it too will cook as little as the smaller unit!!! i love these they are so worthy of 5 stars. this one has a quick cook feature which means no sitting time and straight to boiling point...it should cut out about 10 minutes. rice is fabulous! brown rice hint: soak your brown rice overnight..for example: measure 3 cups with the sanyo cup provided and soak in bowl overnight. put cleaned soaked brown rice in the cooker bowl and mark the water to #3 brown rice..you can now cook this...Read more |
