Hamilton Beach Digital Programmable Rice Cooker & Food Steamer, 8 Cups Cooked (4 Uncooked), With Steam & Rinse Basket, Stainless Steel (37518)

Me encantó la facilidad con la que funciona, lo que más me gusta es que puede cocinar semillas duras como frijol o lenteja y ya no tendré que usar la olla express. Aún me faltan muchas cosas que probar pero estoy muy contenta con mi compra.

I have been wanting a rice cooker for a while. I read the reviews on the Hamilton Beach and they were mostly all positive so I ordered one. Well, the first on I got was defective. I returned it and they sent out a replacement. The second one is fantastic. It cooks the rice and steams vegetables perfectly. Love that it is programmable and that is can cook 12 cups of rice at one time. Definitely comes in handy when I am cooking for a large crowd.

I was looking for a replacement for my old rice maker. I looked at quite a few, but am glad I got this one. It has 4 different settings, which by the way, I don’t need extra pots anymore and can get rid of clutter. It cooked the rice just as expected but it was faster than my old rice maker… Very simple to set, easy clean, compact for storage. I think is the best for the price.

Bought for my parents … they love it!

Es fácil de usar y el arroz queda muy bien y con buena textura pero es un poco pequeña la medida de tazas es la que trae la propia arrocera la cual es muy pequeña

I’ve used it twice already and I messed it up the first time by not putting in enough water. I put one cup of white rice with the provided rice measuring cup and one cup of water in the same rice measuring cup. That did Not work! You need to put one cup of rice and fill the water completely to the 1 cup line inside the cooking pot. Then you’ll get some good rice. I also left the rice on warm for 15 minutes after the finish bell rings on the cooker. That did make the rice softer as according to the provided instructions. I also just put a couple of uncooked whole eggs in the steaming basket provided when I cooked the rice and the eggs at the same time and the eggs came out perfectly hard boiled. Customer service was very responsive because I couldn’t find out if the inner metal liner of the lid comes out or not? Indeed you can carefully pull out the metal inner lid liner it just kind of pops off and pops back on. Once you have cooked some rice there is a lot of condensation left under the inner metal lid liner so you need to pop that off and wipe off some of the condensation for sure. The first time I cooked rice even though I messed it up by not putting enough water in the pot there was a lot of condensation left under the inner metal lid liner that did not dry out even after 6 or 8 hours. The plastic circle in the middle of that inner metal lid liner will give way and let you pop it off and pop it back on and clean it. All in all a pretty good small rice cooker especially for one or two people and up to eight people. I’ve seen people using a metal spoon to stir the rice in the rice pot don’t do that please! Use the provided plastic scoop spoon. Also don’t rinse your rice first in warm or hot water that will cause the cooking process of the rice to begin. Always wash your rice first in cold water so the rice doesn’t start cooking then drain the water and put the rice in the cooking pot and then add new clean water and cook away. I found out as well that the little steam vent on the top of the rice cooker lid pops right out. You can push the steam vent when cooled off from the bottom or pull out from the top and it slides right out for cleaning and or to allow the moisture to dry out. The steam vent also collects moisture after cooking so pulling it out and letting it dry out works well.
