Product Description

Amazon.com

"Micom" means this sleek rice cooker is computer-controlled and ultra high-tech, from its spherical, nonstick pan to its "surround heating" system to its LCD clock and timer. (Program the cooker in the morning and have hot rice available immediately after work.) It not only cooks up to 3 cups of dry rice, but offers a choice of white/brown, mixed, sweet, and porridge settings. A quick-cooking option cuts time by 10 minutes. Rice is automatically kept at warm for hours, and a reheat feature brings it back to serving temperature. Instructions and a cooking chart explain everything. At 10-3/4 by 8-1/2 by 8 inches, it's remarkably compact and also lightweight. Transport it by its handle. Cord retracts for storage. --Fred Brack

our best appliance yet!

Reviewed in the United States on February 27, 2006

Verified Purchase

My husband and I bought this appliance because we often made a mess on the stove... thanks to our short attention spans while cooking. This is the best investment in a home appliance we've ever made, and it was fairly inexpensive. This product is worth every penny! We wanted to make the switch from refined and heavily processed rices to whole grain and organic rices. Just follow the instructions, they are fairly easy, and voila! You will have the best rice you've ever tasted! It does take a while for the rice cooker to cook the rice, but at least you won't have to deal with messy boilovers on the stove. The best part is that is takes only minutes to set up the rice in the cooker, and all you do is press a button. No worries! We often make steel cut oats in the rice cooker. We leave it in the cooker to soak overnight, then we program it to be ready for a specific time... it's perfect every time. We bought a rice cooker cookbook to help us be more creative and use the most out of our rice cooker. The only word of caution is to not let your rice stay too long on the warming function... it has a tendency to get burned. We haven't really found a need to use that function anyway. Overall, you get a great product and it's worth your money. Right now this size rice cooker is perfect for me and my husband, but if you have a larger family, you may want to invest in a larger rice cooker. ***Side Note: We really didn't think we would want or need to get "another appliance," but this rice cooker ended up being very useful and has helped us incorporate more whole grains into our diet. It has definitely been our best purchase yet!***

Very nice cooker, recommended

Reviewed in the United States on November 23, 2009

Verified Purchase

I have had this rice cooker for about a year now, and never had a bad batch of rice out of it. Ever.

We use it once or twice a week for standard white rice from your 50lb bag, sushi rice and even the occasional box of Uncle Ben's.

It is so easy to use, my kids do most of the cooking with it.

I think there are only two buttons on it that I have ever pressed: Cook and Keep Warm. There is no thinking, the measuring cup is pretty much 1/1 rice to water. The bowl is non-stick and goes in the dishwasher (top rack).

I have recommended this cooker to at least a dozen people who said they'd eat more rice if they knew how to cook it easily.

If you're looking for a small, easy to use rice cooker: I say go for it.

I ordered this item very early on a Monday morning and did not hear from Very Asia until Thursday. They do not have this item anymore. Very Asia offered to send me a different model, but did not offer to upgrade the shipping to make up for this delay. They did emphasize that I would be credited for the price differential (the replacement is cheaper) but that is to be expected, I would think, if the original purchase cannot be honored. I would not have ordered this product if it were acurately depicted as "not available".

Absolutely NOT worth the elevated price-

Reviewed in the United States on April 13, 2006

Verified Purchase

I ordered this particular rice cooker expecting something pretty great considering it cost twice what a similar one cost by Sanyo. When I unpacked it, what a letdown. For starters,it weighs almost nothing.It looks far less impressive than it's $129.00 price tag. The cooker's loose top seems to not close properly and the lithium battery that runs the automated clock will not keep time.I have to reset the clock and depend on back-up electricity every time I have used the cooker.(The problem is, the battery can only be replaced by professional servicing at a certified repair center which is $$ and definitely nowhere near my area.)The cooker's battery life is "about 4 to 5 years at an ambient temperature of 20 degrees C and with the power off," according to the manual and then will have to be replaced at "your expense." (Good luck with that!)I think you'll be extremely fortunate if it lasts even half that long, based on my experience.The instructions with the product are not so clear cut. There is no Step 1, Step 2, Step 3 procedure given to follow in the manual. In a way this can be amusing initially, since the directions are a quirky, shorthand translation from the Japanese version-not very sequential nor very basic. Soon after,it becomes frustrating and then just irritating. I studied the manual intently and repeatedly, but still wasn't totally certain I understood it, so I had to get more knowledgeable help and then utilize the separate recipe book in order to use the appliance. When I tried cooking sticky rice and later porridge, neither cooked nearly as well as my gas stove. The outcome for converted white rice was o.k., but certainly no better than the stove or even the microwave would produce. Also, the manual states that it can only cook 2 cups MAX of white rice, not 3 as expected. Much more reasonably priced rice cookers surely could be no worse than this overpriced annoyance.I've found that by the time I pre-soak the rice as they suggest, fuss with the clock/timer, set all of the appropriate sequence of buttons for the specific type of rice I'm cooking, and wait an extended amount of time only to get a paltry amount of a mediocre product,it's easier just to use the microwave. More often than not,I do just that. This item is worth about $39.00 at best- and not $130.00, even overlooking all of the quality control issues. You can do better.

Excellent rice cooker but flawed - buy the larger model

Reviewed in the United States on September 12, 2002

We've been using this now for several months and have been very impressed with the quality of the rice. We've made mostly brown rice but also basmati, all nearly perfect. It's also easy to use.
The main problem is that the smaller model is difficult to clean. My brother has the 10-cup model and although it uses the same technology and produces the same quality rice it is easier to clean. The reason is that the smaller model accumulates rice gunk in the inside lid and it is difficult to reach inside. The gunk leaks out the back (there is a drain for it) whereas the larger model has no such drain, not needing one.
Also, the 3-cup model is really too small, even for just the two of us.
So don't hesitate to buy one of these - just buy the 5-cup or 10-cup model.
