Thank you SO much! I just bought this during a flash sale on Amazon and had no idea how to use it. Your video was a lifesaver! ❤ I'm definitely going to try making steel-cut oats in this machine-I’ve never been able to get them just right when cooking them on the stove.
If you still had the toshiba cooker I would offer to buy it off you! haha, I am looking at rice cookers. Thank you so much for your experience and input on this. It's really helpful!
I've been using all kinds of methods of cooking rice, including rice cookers, but nothing beats the micro when operated properly. It is the same method for Jasmin and Basmati. Here's my two-minute (work time) method: One minute in the morning: Add 200 ml water and 100 ml rice to a microwave-safe (DUH) bowl. Stir to avoid lumps. Leave to rehydrate. One minute in the afternoon: Stir again. Put a loose lid on the bowl -- I use a plate. Set the micro to 300 W and 12 minutes. Set another timer to 30 minutes. Start and leave it. After 30 minutes, open the micro (not until then!) and fluff it up with a fork. Now you have the perfect rice every time. It passes the sushi test: form a ball that holds together but separates with the touch of a fork. (From my upcoming cookbook Micro Like A Pro 🙂 )
I might add that since the rice never reaches boiling, it just slowly rises to the desired 92°C, most of the aromatics stay in the rice. You can actually taste the difference between jasmine and basmati. That heavenly smell from your cooking is the aromatics that leave the dish when heated too high. This is good for the cook but not so good for the dinner guests.
Theres a lot of asian recipes for rice cookers that are amazing. Stuff like bibimbap is super quick and easy. If you are lazy like me washing rice in warm water and filling it with warm water cleans it and starts it cooking faster. Subbed for the kratky content and now its rice cooker content lol.
I was just looking at getting the older version of this cooker. Trying to decide if I really need all the extras because i have a pressure pot that seems to do most of the other things this can do. i have w tiny little rice cooker that you just push the button down and away it cooks. Makes really good rice too. Just wanted one a bit bigger.

thanks for this video. Do you have a video on how the timer function works?
Thank you! This was very helpful.

Great tip, thank you! I do my oatmeal in the microwave, also perfect every time. Thanks for taking the time to write out your method!
Thanks for experimenting with the oats!

Did you try quinoa?
You are not using the rice cooker properly.
Im unaware of the proper way. Where does this video go wrong? Sounds like this person is abiding by the user manual thats in the box.
Shouldn't you rinse the rice? It looked good, tho. 👍
Yes, I did...thanks for the comment, appreciate it!
@@TikkiOOO sorry, I missed that🙄
