This review is from: Sanyo ECJ-PX50S 5-Cup Micro-Computerized Pressure Rice Cooker and Steamer (Kitchen) This is a super high quality product, on par with the finest kitchen gadgets available. So if you simply like fine things, it will please you. Even the hefty titanium-clad bowl is a joy to behold. This machine is designed for easy living. It's smaller than you might think from the pictures. I have handbags that would grab more counter space. However, if you have *no* counter space to spare, the self-retracting cord and bail handle are your friends. Just pick it up and stow it with no fuss. The built in battery keeps the time. It makes extremely good rice because: 1) It has a special cooking program for any kind of rice you want. 2) It lets you set the texture/firmness to your preference. 3) It automatically keeps the rice warm until you are ready to use it. Or you can set it to cook your rice very fast, if that's what you need. In either case, the cooker could not be simpler to use. It is much easier and far more reliable than cooking rice in a...Read more 43 of 46 people found the following review helpful: By This review is from: Sanyo ECJ-PX50S 5-Cup Micro-Computerized Pressure Rice Cooker and Steamer (Kitchen) The Sanyo ECJ-PX50S 5-Cup Micro-Computerized Pressure Rice Cooker and Steamer is simply the most exquisite rice cooker that you can imagine. I looked long and hard and did much research before my purchase. I almost purchased the Zojirushi because of all the hype. I was told by friends in the know that I had to have a Zojirushi to experience great rice. But tests, user reviews and the specs of the Sanyo kept pulling me back.
Okay, I purchased it a month ago and was immediately impressed with the overall quality. This was my second 5 quart cooker as my last one, a Wolfgang Puck from QVC started burning the rice after five years. I thought I was happy with the Puck; that is until I got perfect rice from the Sanyo. No matter what you think, read, see or envision, you have not tasted great rice until you have rice from this cooker. But there is a catch. The catch is to never believe ANYONE, including me, when they use the term, "perfect rice." What that...Read more 36 of 38 people found the following review helpful: By Sean Ichiro (Jersey City, NJ) - See all my reviews This review is from: Sanyo ECJ-PX50S 5-Cup Micro-Computerized Pressure Rice Cooker and Steamer (Kitchen) We are a three-person East Asian household: My mother and I are Japanese, and my other half is Korean. Needless to say, we use this rice cooker at least five times a week, and have had it for about a year. We've decided that eating brown rice instead of white rice about twice a week would be a healthy choice. The pressure cooker feature makes delicious brown rice (we use 2.5 cups regular Japonica brown rice mixed with 1.5 cups of sweet "mochi" brown rice nowadays). For the remainder of the week, we cook white rice, and it does a beautiful job. Once in a while, we make porridge -- the traditional Japanese remedy for when someone is sick -- which can be made excellently by this rice cooker. In that sense, we like all the features that this rice cooker offers, and it is really easy to operate. I believe the titanium-coated thick inner pot is key to making this such a strong product; it seems to distribute heat evenly inside the pot. So, the problems that one...Read more |
