Loving this rice cooker! It was simple to set up straight out of the box. It cooks rice evenly and doesn’t dry out. It keeps the rice warm after cooking which is an excellent feature. Rice doesn’t come out watery or dry but rather fluffy and makes a perfect addition to our dinner plates! I love the features. You can use this to steam food or as a slow cooker!

It was easy to use. It cooked my rice perfectly and fast. It was way better then the oven. I steamed vegetables they came out perfect. I seasoned them inside before I cooked them. My family loved them. It was easy to serve as well as clean up. I needed this I have 3 sons that love to eat. I’m already getting ready to use it this morning. The only negativeI will need a bigger one because of how much my sons eat.

I never thought I would need a rice cooker, but here I am, and I cannot express how much I am loving it! When I try and make basmati rice on the stovetop, it comes out mushy, so I gave up trying after a few disasters, sticking to instant rice, which, there is no comparison to basmati! I have made a few batches of rice with it and each one has been on point, nice fluffy rice, not gooey or mushy, thanks to the little microcomputer that carefully monitors the amount of rice and adjusts the temperature and cooking time, so you cannot mess it up. Moreover, the rice cooker is attractive, and blends in nicely with my stainless steel appliances in the kitchen. Second, the capacity (up to 16 cups of cooked rice) cannot be beat! In addition to rice and grains, you can use the appliance as a slow cooker! It is also pretty compact and short in height, so it stores easily away in a pantry or cabinet! I am extremely pleased with this rice cooker, and will never go back to instant rice or boiling rice on the stove. This is a game changer for me.

I love the simple design and how it has easy buttons to use for rice and hot cereal. at first I was unsure of using the rice cooker but reading up the manual it seemed a bit easier, after using it 3 to 4 times I finally got the hang and the rice comes out really nice and fluffy. The clean up is pretty easy as well, the pot comes out really quick and can be cleaned at the sink. The pot that comes with it can be taken out before turning on the rice cooker and you can prepare the dishes that you want before hand without worrying about dropping food on the buttons or sides.

I love this rice cooker.We eat rice every day and this cooker is what we needed.It is big enough for a family of 5,it can be cooked up to 16 cups of rice.When we used for the first time rice was cooked perfectly and didn’t take long time.Also this cooker keeps rice warm and fresh.But it is not only rice cooker you laos can steam vegetables and much more.The designis so different and unique and don’t take so much space in the kitchen.So easy to clean this cooker as hte rice don’t stick to it or burn.Also you can cook not only white rice but also brown rice which is amazing,you don’t need to worried about burning as when rice is cooked the cooker will switch to keep warm you don’t need to do anything,so easy to use it.

This is a very nice sized machine with high quality finish and components and is very easy to use. It has a few different settings for different kind of rice and a saute function as well. It looks like the machine adjusts the timing automatically and delivers consistently cooked rice irrespective of variance in the amount of rice and water. I was also able to make rice pilaf and it came out colorful and yummy.

I love my rice cooker! It is easy to use and easy to clean. It can do so much more than just cook rice. It comes with a steaming basket for steaming but it also works as a slow cooker. Amazing cooker that I love having in my kitchen.

Nice looking 16 cup rice cooker with a digital timer. Makes perfect rice every time. It’s also a slow cooker and steamer too. Has so many things it can do and I’m eager to try out the many things it’s capable of doing. Well worth it’s price and would recommend to everyone.

I received my Hamilton Beach Premium Rice Cooker and immediately wanted to use it! I normally cook my rice in a pot on the stove. I always deal with it being too wet or not enough water and I deal with it sticking to the bottom of the pot, but after using the rice cooker all those mistakes were completely gone and it just scoops right out. It cooks just the right amount of time and makes it perfect! I thought it was going to be difficult cleaning and keeping it clean. I was so wrong! It is so simple to take the main parts off and clean them and put it all right back together. Not only does it cook rice but it also steams and does so much more! I will never go back to a regular pot! I highly recommend this product.

I have a large family and we cook a lot of times on the weekend. I’m usually the one nominated to bring rice. Now I don’t mind it so much. Being able to cook 16 cups at once is a time saver. The non stick pan and the digital timer is appreciated. I’ve already had several family members ask to borrow it.

This rice cooker replaced a 20+ year old rice cooker that probably cost about $15 brand new. I held onto the old one for so long because my Grandmother gave it to me. Sorry Grandma, but this new rice cooker is so much nicer! Grandma alway told me to soak the rice in the water for 30 minutes before starting the cooker. The first time I used this cooker I did this and the rice ended up a bit softer than I like. I realized the fuzzy logic that this cooker employs may be accounting for Grandma’s advice so since then I began cooking the rice immediately after loading the cooker. Perfection!!! The rice came out exactly how I like it!

This is the best rice cooker I’ve ever owned. We eat alot of rice, so this is perfect for us. It is super easy to use. Just use the provided cup, for 4 cups of rice you fill it to line 4 with water. You can’t mess it up, and it comes out perfectly cooked. This machine does so much more than a regular rice cooker. You can use the steamer basket and steam your veggies at the same time as rice. It is also a slow cooker. Use the saute option to saute your meat, then add your liquid and slow cook. I made a corned beef and it was delicious. With the hot cereal option you can make your oatmeal super quick and easy. The machine is lightweight and has a handle. It’s a breeze to clean and the directions are very easy to follow. I just love it. It makes my life easier.

This rice cooker works just as well as the expensive Japanese brands that you pay a whole lot more for. It cooked the rice to perfection and then kept it warm until it was needed. Didn’t stick to the pan and wasn’t too sticky or mushy. Easy clean up. Great rice cooker!

I have been cooking with this rice cooker almost everyday this week! This rice cooker is really great for our family of 6. We have tried steaming up broccoli, cauliflower and beans which came out perfectly cooked. Most importantly the rice came out perfectly cooked, not to soft and not too hard. I have struggled with many other rice cookers, trying to find one that makes decent rice. Cleaning up the machine is very easy too, all the pieces come apart so there aren’t any unexpected surprises. The Hamilton Beach rice cooker does everything we need and it’s quite fast! I can’t wait to cook up slow meals like Chili’s and soups. Definitely recommending this to my mom in law and friends!

I decided to start off simple with a big batch of white rice. The instructions were very easy to follow. The packaging was also very appealing. I love that t is versatile in that you can use it to make much more than just rice. For being such large quantity producing the rice cooker itself is still very compact and fits perfectly on my kitchen counter. The handle is an additional plus for easy transporting which is major when working in big quantities. When I made a full meal with the cooker I didn’t expect it to also help tenderize/cook the item faster than normal. My old rice cooker would have to be reset twice to fully cook which was inconvenient. This one was perfect, I was able to set it and get my daily chores done without needing to adjust it.

My rice cooker just kicked the bucket and this one came along at the perfect time. It cooks rice evenly and easily. I love that it has the option to steam. I use it for veggies and hot dogs and they come out perfectly every time. It takes up a good bit of space on my counter but it has so many functions that it has replaced a few of my other appliances. It slow cooks too! I love a multi-purpose kitchen appliance and this one is perfect. Easy to use and clean. Everything is kept inside and it has a modern look that is a conversation starter for guests.

Rice is a staple in my house, so we need a rice cooker that is not only reliable but works well. This Hamilton Beach 16 Cup Premium Rice Cooker is that plus so much more! It does an excellent job of cooking rice, both white and brown, but it doesn’t stop there. You can also use it to steam meat and veggies. I love the large steamer basket that is included. I can cook rice and veggies at the same time. Works great for hot cereal such as oatmeal. But wait, there’s more. It also saute’s and slow cooks. The digital countdown timer is large and easy to read. This cooker also has an adjustable cooking timer, however not for cooking rice. The rice cooker part is pre set to cook rice for 30 minutes. At first I thought that was too long to cook rice, however after using this product multiple times, the rice comes out perfect. I also enjoy the keep warm feature. If you cook large quantities of rice this 16 cup cooker is perfect for your household. You can also make smaller amounts too, making it great for 1 or 2 people or a house full. Clean up is quick and easy. The interior cooking pot is non stick and easily comes clean with hot soapy water. I received this product free for testing purposes. All opinions are mine alone based on my actual use of the product.

I was very excited to have the opportunity to review and try out the Hamilton Beach Premium Rice Cooker and multi function cooker. Since I have never owned a rice cooker this was something that I was looking forward to using in my kitchen to make perfect rice and to also steam vegetables for quick dinner meals. Upon receiving the unit we unpacked it and looked for the instruction manual thinking it would have a complete user guide and recipe book on on how to use all of the functions of this premium cooker. To my surprise the instructions were vague and left a lot of guess work on how to use some of the functions of the unit and I would have expected more from such a great device. If you are making rice this unit will work perfectly and the instructions on using this feature are easy to understand. The rice came out perfectly and my family said it was the best rice they have had since I was never a pro at making rice on the stove top. That being said the other functions involve trial and error to get items to turn out correctly. Next we tried to steam vegetables to have with another dinner meal and it was a disaster. Individually we tried steaming different vegetables including broccoli, carrots and also asparagus and each time the food was either over cooked and mushy or under done and crispy. This is where the instructions could have given guide lines on how much water/vegetables to use and also the amount of time needed to steam different types vegetables.Next trial was to make breakfast and we tried plain oats and also steel cut oats. Again the instruction manual with cooking guidelines would have been a huge plus for this function as well but it was also trial and error. The regular oats and steel cut oats either came out over cooked or not cooked enough, and we tried following the instructions on the package and then converting the measurements to use in the rice cooker with no luck. After looking on line at other manufactures rice cooker products we were able to get the Hamilton Beach premium rice cooker to make a perfect batch of steel cut oats. By using the rice cooking function and following the cooking instructions as if we were making a manual batch of oats on the stove top we used the same quantities of steel cut oats and water in the rice cooker and the result was a perfect batch of steel cut oats.The last thing we tested was the slow cooker function since we use a slow cooker all of the time to make meals when we are at work to have ready for dinner when we get home. This function worked fine as long as you were home and were able to watch the unit to adjust the times as needed to cook properly. The addition of different cooking times on the low and high setting would be a great help since not everything cooks in either 2 or 4 hours especially when you are cooking food unattended or need to vary the time.The Hamilton Beach premium rice cooker has a hug potential and if you are willing to experiment to figure out how to use the different features then you will not be disappointed with the results, but it will be a lot of trial and error. There is no recipe support on the Hamilton Beach website for cooking with this unit but if you check other manufactures similar products on line you can find lots of great recipes that can be adapted to work with this product. In conclusion, a better manual and cooking recipes included with the unit would help people get the most out of this great product.

I don’t think this should be labeled as just a Rice Cooker. I have enjoyed using the other features that it has to offer. The pan inside is labeled very nicely no problem reading it at all. This is so easy to use and clean. Has a great handle to carry. I used the slow-cooker to make a Beef Stew and it turned out delicious. I Steamed some Jumbo Shrimp with Broccoli & Cauliflower w/Rice and that turned out great also. I sauté mushrooms for steaks and they were delicious. I steamed fingerling potatoes and they turned out wonderful. Can’t wait to continue to use this to see what other things.
