Product Description

Amazon.com Review

This compact and sturdy little Panasonic rice cooker is ideal for making small quantities of tasty rice with negligible effort. Designed just like larger models, the appliance turns out about 9 ounces of cooked rice and automatically monitors the cooking process to turn itself off when rice is finished. Its interior pan is nonstick to prevent sticking and simplify cleanup, and it comes with a tempered glass lid rimmed in stainless steel so that you can easily see rice while it is cooking. Straightforward to operate and easy to store, the appliance has stay-cool handles and feet that keep it off the countertop. It measures approximately 6 by 6 by 6 inches, carries a one-year warranty, and includes instructions in English, Chinese, and Vietnamese. --Emily Bedard

Automatic Rice Cooker

Conquer a variety of culinary endeavors with help from Panasonic's automatic rice cooker. Create light, fluffy, restaurant-quality rice--perfect for side dishes or stir-fries. Or make sticky rice for rolling sushi, Spanish rice for enchilada night, or hearty wild rice to add to a tossed green salad--or even creamy rice pudding with cinnamon sprinkled on top for dessert. The small electric appliance takes care of cooking the rice, so that busy moms and dads can focus on getting the rest of the meal prepared and on the table.

One-touch operation, plus indicator lights. (Model SR-G10G shown.)

Cook up to 20 Cups of Rice

Panasonic's automatic rice cookers come in four useful sizes. Choose from a 3-cup, 6-cup, 10-cup, or 20-cup cooked-rice capacity--great for single people and small families or for larger-size families or for those who love to entertain.

Nonstick removable inner pan
for effortless food release and quick cleanup.
(Select models. Model SR-G06FG shown.)

See-through tempered glass lid for safe, easy monitoring. (Model SR-G10G shown.)

Novice or pro--any home chef will appreciate the convenience of having a little extra help in the kitchen. Simply add rice to the cooker, pour in the measured amount of water, secure the lid, and press the lever to start cooking--it takes care of the rest. The rice cooker's inner aluminum cooking pan heats quickly for fast, even heating, while its glass lid traps in heat, moisture, and nutrients, plus allows for at-a-glance monitoring (no need to remove the lid).

When cleaning the rice before cooking, do not wash the rice in the cooker pan. For best results, it is recommended that a separate pan be used for cleaning the rice.

One-Step Automatic Cooking

The rice cooker automatically cooks the rice for the correct amount of time, then shuts off automatically for excellent results. Even more, the 10-cup and 20-cup units automatically switch over to a Keep Warm mode, which keeps the rice hot and delicious--and ready to serve--for up to four hours, without over-cooking. A nonstick coating on the removable inner cooking pan (most models) helps prevent cooked rice from sticking to the sides and the bottom and makes cleanup a snap.

Rice scoop, steam basket, and measuring cup included. (Select models. See chart for details.)

Other highlights include a handy "cooking" indicator light, stay-cool lid and side handles for safe transport, secure feet to keep the cooker raised up above countertop surfaces, and a sleek, modern design that will be sure to compliment any kitchen decor.

A measuring cup comes included, as well as a rice scoop (all sizes, except for the 10-cup cooker), and a steaming basket (20-cup cooker only) for steaming seafood or fresh vegetables while simultaneously cooking rice. Leave the rice cooker out for easy access throughout the week or store it compactly away between uses. A welcome addition to any busy kitchen, Panasonic's line of automatic rice cookers make a great gift idea and carry a one-year limited manufacturer's warranty.

Although I've only owned this cooker for a lil over a month, I feel qualified to speak to it's usefulness. A bit pricey for the capacity, it's effectiveness can't be overstated. For family of 3 or less this cooker makes plenty of rice. I especially like that it can make one serving of rice fairly quickly. No fancy electronics, just a plain timed cooker. Mix the rice and water (or stock), flip the switch and when it turns off you have perfect rice. I found domestic packaged rice like Uncle Ben's to need proportions of 1:1 water to rice. Imported sticky rice from India or Asia needs a lil less water, like .8:1. You'll find the proportions you need. I hope this cooker lasts longer than at least one reviewer claimed. Once outside the warranty period, if the timer fails (I'm sure it uses a simple bi-metal timer), I just wire in a cheap electronic timer from Radio Shack.

i am a flight attendant. most of the time there is no meal service. also, we are runing from plane to plane no time to stop and get a hot meal. also, it's get expensive. room service is over-priced, and it's the same old stuff at every hotel. with this little work horse i can bring food from home and heat it up so i can have a hot meal. i have used it to heat up more than rice. i use it for soup, chili, oatmeal, even left over pasta with sauce. this may sound expensive, but will pay for itself if you use it as often as i do.

This review is from: Panasonic SR-3NA Rice Cooker (Kitchen)

After almost a year of perfect operation, with the rice cooker being used about twice a week, suddenly it wouldn't switch itself off. Nor could the on/off switch be operated manually. The rice just kept cooking and cooking. After about 55 minutes we pulled the plug out of the wall and tipped out what was by now a solid block of rice. It was lightly burned underneath and a bit on the sides. It seems to me that if we had been relying totally on the auto shut-off feature then there must have been a very real risk of fire. This is not only a big concern but also a big disappointment. The compact size and excellent non-stick finish had been just perfect for us.
