5.0 out of 5 stars 15 years and still going!, December 4, 2007

By	Naomi's mom (Sunnyvale, CA USA) - See all my reviews

I'm always amazed to see this product still being sold at local Chinese supermarkets and here on Amazon. I've used mine for over 15 years now and quite regularly in the past 5 years. I don't see the non-stick stuff coming off the cook bowl but over time, there will be some small particles of rice stuck on quite permanently. I don't scrub because it is a non-stick surface. I've seen this happen with other rice cookers so I'm not sure you can get around this by just purchasing another brand. You're probably better off buying a softer wood paddle for cheap available at most Chinese/Japanese markets. My dad just sanded off the rough edges of the plastic paddle that came with my cooker. I haven't replaced my rice bowl yet as it still releases rice just fine. Unfortunately, the price is also unmoved after all these years.

Btw, I see inexperienced friends buying large (e.g. 10 cup) rice cookers. This is generally not a wise idea if you're only cooking for 1 or 2 people most of the time since the larger the cooker, the larger the minimum amount of rice to be cooked.

As a final note, I'm not aware of any heating element on the top of the cooker. The cooker is nicely sealed and does white rice well. Like many other cookers, it will also do brown rice well, except that the additional water requirements will result in an excessive amount of muddy brown splatter around the outside of the steam vent. It will automatically switch to a warming mode but unfortunately it does not have an auto shut off. Note that although you can warm for quite a while, the rice will eventually dry out and faster still if you are only cooking a small amount.

5.0 out of 5 stars Can't live without it!, October 28, 2009

By	Elizabeth Ellis (Vernon VT USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I love my rice cooker and have been using this model for about 15 years. The first one was a loaner and when I had to return it I found I couldn't be without it. This makes perfect rice and keeps it warm safely all day if you want. So easy to clean. Beautiful. Sits on my counter almost all the time. Love the retractable cord. If I could I would give this to every new bride. Best size for average family. Not too big or too small.

Recommend only using the plastic paddle, or a wooden one, so as not to scratch the non-stick coating of pan. However, if after a while it has gotten scratched, you can very affordably purchase a new pan and paddle.

Excellent rice cooker/steamer. Cooks perfect rice every time. Very stylish outer cover, and cleans easily. I would highly recommend this rice cooker to anyone looking to buy a quality/beautiful rice cooker.
