Panasonic SR-MS182

Best Price: $140.00

from www.amazon.com
it's so simple - follow the instructions of measurements - which a 5 year old could comprehend, press the menu button until "white rice" blinks, press start, and presto!
from www.amazon.com
the reason this rice cooker gets 4 starts instead of 5 stars is this.
from www.amazon.com
it takes about 40 mins from start to finish for a 6 cup batch.
from www.amazon.com
unfortunately, the only setting you have control over is start.

Zojirushi NP-HBC10

Best Price: $266.00

from www.amazon.com
one of the features i like is that you set the timer for when you want the rice to finish cooking as opposed to when you want it to start cooking.
from www.amazon.com
i have delayed starts,keep warm, audible finish signals, and led read-outs on other kitchen and household appliances, so why not a rice cooker.
from www.amazon.com
i run one porridge cycle, let it cool for 15 minutes (you can't start a new cycle while the bowl is hot), and than run the porridge cycle again.
from www.amazon.com
everything about it is good, except possibly for the twinkle twinkle little star music it plays when it starts...you can change it but i haven't figured out how yet.
from www.amazon.com
sings to you when it starts and finishes cooking.

Sanyo ECJ-D100S Micom 10-Cup

Best Price: $109.00

from Frank1234, www.pricegrabber.com
however, the taste will not be as good as fresh one and the rice start to be dry and yellow.
from wsn97, www.pricegrabber.com
strengths: works great weaknesses: none summary: i used a cheaper rick cooker for 3 years then the rice started to stick to the bottom, so i decided to buy a better one.
from www.amazon.com
in other words, the time setting on the timer is the time you want the rice done and ready to serve---not the time when the cooking should start.
from www.amazon.com
(well, i'm a computer guy and may not be good at reading something like recipes.) once start using it, it is very strait forward and simple.
from www.amazon.com
we started off with the zojirushi 10-cup model and were unhappy that rice sometimes came out brown.

from www.amazon.com
we previously had a less expensive aroma brand that was used weekly for many years, and it finally started giving out so i did my internet reseach and decided on the zoji.

Sanyo ECJ-D55S 5.5-Cup

Best Price: $125.00

from www.amazon.com
it states for white rice....close lid...push menu button to white rice and hit start...quick cook feature goes to quick cook and start button....allow yourself at least 30 minutes to complete...
from www.amazon.com
i can start it at the beginning of preparing a meal and then forget about it; the rice is ready when the meal is.
from www.amazon.com
i also like that when you get within 15 minutes, it gives you a countdown :-) so you know exactly when you can start eating.
from www.amazon.com
for example, i was hoping i could set the unit up with beans in it so that i could delay the start of the cooking until say 4:30 pm and have it run for 3 hours so that the beans would be done by
from www.amazon.com
the best thing is that it has a timer control: let you specify when to start the cooking, and how long it lasts.

Sanyo ECJ-HC55S

Best Price: $116.00

from www.amazon.com
one neat feature i discovered is that you use the markings in the rice pot to load it (use the cup that came with the unit to measure rice), select rice type, then push the start button and forget it.
from www.amazon.com
it's a bit on the thick side (like the consistency of really thick oatmeal), but it at least gives you a starting point to tweak the recipe to your liking on some popular asian (mainly chinese) dishes
from www.amazon.com
like with the brown rice, they take a while longer, but all you need to do is make sure you've planned ahead and start your grains or rice at the appropriate time.
from www.amazon.com
that actually comes with a time indicator telling you for how many hours the contents have been kept warm and a timer that allows you to easily program the cooker to start at a specific time.
from www.amazon.com
--slow cooker cannot be set to start at a specific time.

Sanyo ECJ-F50S

Best Price: $126.00

from Mary, www.cooking.com
i used this product for the first time at thanksgiving and it worked perfectly - even though i didn't start the rice as soon as i thought i should have.
from Penny, www.cooking.com
on the down side, when you start the cooking cycle, the amount of time remaining should be displayed; it is not on this rice cooker.
from www.amazon.com
it's a real luxery to have this and may be a little hard to justify the cost, but since i'm starting the rice solution diet, i'm thinking i can justify it if i keep losing weight.
from www.amazon.com
the downside is that at any given point in time, you don't know (unless you notice the time you started the rice cooking) where it is in the cycle.
from www.amazon.com
i should've put the broccoli in when i started the cooker: it was not cooked at all.

a very nice feature is the delayed start for the compartments programmed with a shorter cooking time.

Cuisinart CRC-400 4-Cup

the only problem i have run across is that the instructional booklet lists cooking times for every kind of rice except short-grain white rice, so i didn't know when to start steaming the 3 eggs.
from www.amazon.com
how cool is it that you can just start your rice and walk away and presto, in a short time you have perfect rice.
from www.amazon.com
i have found that you should rinse the rice a little before starting the cooker up or it will bubble over the side a little leaving a sticky residue to clean up.
