Rice Cookers

Automatically cook steamed rice perfectly every time!

A rice cooker is a special electrical appliance that uses a combination of heat sensing and weight to judge when your rice is perfectly steamed and switch to a warming function. It's an amazing savings in time and convenience. Imagine never ever burning another pot of rice! Imagine having a fresh warm pot of rice waiting for you when you come home from work, or when you plan a dinner party. You can make it up to 5 hours ahead on some models, and the rice cooker will keep it gently warmed waiting to be served. If you like steamed rice, an automatic electric rice cooker is a must for your kitchen.

How to choose a rice cooker:

Choose the size you need. There are small 4 to 6 cup rice cookers for small families or singles. A larger family, or if you like to entertain regularly, may require a larger 10 to 12 cup rice cooker.
Decide if "brand" is important to you. Some of us get very attached to our kitchen brands. you'll find Cuisinart makes a rice cooker, and Salton as well. Just know that these are not high precision instruments, and a less known brand may suit you just as well.
Shop online. Find a better variety all in one place (this page) than your average mall kitchen store, order conveniently from your own home, and have it delivered to your door!
