Sanyo ECJ-D100S 10-Cup Micro-Computerized Rice Cooker/Steamer, White with Stainless Accent

Comment: This is a great rice cooker. We use it to cook white rice, brown rice, sweet brown rice, brown rice with beans, and other mixes. Each one has come out great, and better than our previous rice cooker. Everyday, we just clean the rice and put it in the rice cooker in the morning, and the timer cooks to rice to be finished when we get home so that it is nice and fresh.

The cleanup is good, but i wish that brown rice would come off the non-stick bowl more easily. It's not a big deal, but is something to be desired.

Overall, we are very pleased with htis rice cooker and would recommend it.

Comment: This cooker cooks delicious tasting rice all the time. It also comes with a steaming basket for your veges, a thoughtful accessory. You can use porridge cycle for your steel cut oats but I now use my Zojirushi NP-HBC18 10-Cup Rice Cooker and Warmer with Induction Heating System, Stainless Steel for this purpose. I cook mostly "Southern Wild Blend" (mixture of brown, wild and red rice and occasional brown rice in my Sanyo ECJ-D100S. The inner cooking pot is out of this world and it makes me wonder why all the so-called "non-stick" pots are not made of similar material. You cannot go wrong with this cooker. Sanyo now makes induction models too but 10 cup versions are not yet available for sale in the US.

Comment: More prettier than the picture on Amazon.
Timer function is so convenient!
Cooked rice tastes very good.
I'm happy with that by now.

Comment: We've owned this device for about a week now (purchased for $99 on Amazon after considering Zojirushi, other Sanyo models, and a few Aroma models both in-store and online -- definitely expensive, but speedy shipping and perfect condition out of the box), and used it to cook white rice almost daily, with and without the timer. It's been great, aside from the fact that the cord apparently contains lead, which consumers are warned about on the first page of the manual. It's fine; just wash your hands after handling. But as another reviewer stated, we felt lead was an unnecessary component to include in the cord and therefore give a rating of 4 stars.

2 cups (uncooked) rice on quick steam cooked in about 30ish minutes, and both times we used the timer (also for 2 cups uncooked) completed before the set time, but this was OK bc rice should be allowed to sit in the cooker a bit on warm to completely finish cooking, and anyway the warm function kept the rice, well, warm, and didn't compromise the quality. The rice at the bottom did discolor a little bit from sitting on warm for a while (maybe about an hour after finished cook time), but this is inevitable with every rice cooker and we expected it. Give your rice a gentle stir every so often to prevent unwanted browning.

The steam vent functions well -- no overbubbling whatsoever. The inner lid is removable for easy cleaning, and any dripping condensation is caught in a little trough around the rim of the rice cooker that is likewise easy to clean. Best design for catching condensation I've seen yet (I've had old rice cookers w/o any way to catch liquid to those w/ little removable cups -- blegh. Doesn't even compare.). Digital display easy to understand and use. Titanium pot very thick, sturdy, with rounded bottom and water level indicators for white, brown, and sweet rice. Incredibly easy to clean.

We also steamed some baby carrots in the steamer (included, along w/ measuring cup and textured plastic rice paddle), which worked out fine, and look forward to testing the soup/slow-cooker functions soon. Really hope this stands up to long-term use, given its price!

Comment: We purchased this product approximately one year ago and use it regularly. We have never been disappointed with the way the rice has been cooked. We generally stick with brown basmati or wild rice, so I can't speak for other varieties, but we are always pleased. We also use the product as a slow cooker quite often. We can make a wonderful pot roast, any variety of soup, and amazing chili with this cooker. We tend to make large batches and use throughout the week. I highly recommend this product for families and singles alike...there are only two of us in this house and we wouldn't dream of getting anything smaller! The non-stick pot has held up beautifully (we are very careful), and I can't think of a single complaint. Happy cooking!
