Review of panasonic 3 cup rice cooker.,
By
This review is from: Panasonic SR-W06PA Rice Cooker, White (Kitchen)
Some thoughts about the Panasonic SR-W06PA three cup rice cooker which I bought last month. It does a fine job with all kinds of rice, including long grain brown. The unit is simple, logically and well designed and only has one switch: on/off. Clean up is easy enough, especially if you soak the inner container for awhile before swabbing with a sponge. There is no warming function after the rice has cooked -- the unit gives a quiet chime and powers off. This has not been a problem for me but if you want to keep rice warm in the middle of a meal, just switch the unit "on" for two minutes and turn it off. Alternatively, buy a more expensive cooker. To re-heat left-over rice, use the steaming plate and put the rice on top of it. This works far better than trying to revive cold rice with a microwave oven and only takes a few minutes. The steamer works very well for vegetables -- would be worth having it just for that alone. The cooker cooks one to three cups of dry rice -- more than enough for four people (probably six). The unit is small and compact in size (a 7" circle -- 9" counting handles -- that is 8" high with lid on) and easy to store. Be aware that a "cup" measure (included) is actually about 6 ounces in volume. That still makes far more rice than I can eat at one sitting. I'd recommend buying a plastic or wood rice paddle (not provided) -- a wooden or nylon spoon would do -- to protect the non-stick coating. The only product glitch is a printing error in the instructions. The user is told to add one cup of rice and one cup of water. Skeptically, I tried using one and a half cups of water and had to steam the resulting under cooked rice (but even that mistake turned out pretty well). The correct proportions are 1 rice to 2 water -- just like mom told you. The instructions also tell you to soak the rice before cooking, something most European Americans do not do. Though I do soak my rice, it is not necessary to do so to produce satisfactory results. I've been eating more brown rice since I bought the steamer because its so easy to make now. If you think cooking rice on the stovetop is easy, try a rice cooker. Just put the rice, water and a pinch of salt in and turn it on. No timing, no fiddling with the heat, and perfect results every time. I have had good luck with Panasonic products in the past -- good value and reliability for the money. This rice cooker

It works,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Panasonic SR-W06PA Rice Cooker, White (Kitchen)
Received it today, immediately washed, then set up a pan of white long grain rice, it cooked, it sat for the suggested 15 minutes, pan of rice was good. Then set up a pan of brown rice, it cooked, it sat for 15 minutes, brown rice was good. Both required far different cooking times, both worked on the only setting (on/off) available. Knew from some reviews and comments here and elsewhere that these ricers tend to sputter and overflow, so I watched on the white rice, uncovered a few times to lower bubbling brew, that worked, but it didn't make this a set and forget appliance. So I topped the cover with a terry towel as much to accept the escaping steam and rice residue as anything. That worked admirably. When I set up the brown rice, I didn't watch, immediately covered the top of the rice cooker with the terry towel and forgot about it. No overflow, no gummy mess, the solution to any supposed sputtering. I like the cooker, the rice is good. I have no problem recommending it after two pots tonight. Now, if it lasts, I have certainly found an inexpensive appliance that takes up a very small amount of counter space, will probably be kept out for rice and steaming vegetables (the plate is too small, will probably use a folding steamer or glass bowl inside the pot). It's sleek, attractive, works, a good product for the money.

Sensible Cooker for One Person,
By
This review is from: Panasonic SR-W06PA Rice Cooker, White (Kitchen)
I purchased this unit after becoming convinced I cooked too much rice to do without one anymore. Still, being within a strict budget, I didn't want to drop $80 to $100 on a unit. The Panasonic SR-W06PA has proven a very worthwhile purchase.
I cook all types of rice, from white rice, to long grain, to my favorite eight-grain mixture, and this cooker does them all very well. And, since I live in a very small apartment, the small size of the cooker greatly adds to its appeal, since I have plenty of counter space left to work on. You'll really want a small plastic spatula to scoop rice off the non-stick surface, but the unit does clean up easily. I typically let it soak for about five minutes with a soapy water, then rinse and wash with a sponge. I would have liked the vegetable-steaming tray to have a bit better design (I have to use a fork to get under the handle and lift it out), but vegetables always steam well. Also, the cooker tends to boil over a bit, so if I'm cooking larger quantities of rice (1.5 cups, for instance), I often set the cooker in a pan or on a plate to save myself some cleanup time. I use my cooker multiple times per week and have found it an invaluable addition to the kitchen.
