Amazon has a Panasonic rice cooker for $40-SR-TE15PW is the model number,
and I am considering a purchase. Has anyone had experience with this model?
I have a Black and Decker cooker, and it burns the rice pretty badly on the
bottom of the pan. Can I expect more of the same from this one?

Thank you-


Brad

I have a pansonic bought 11 years ago. It has no wram feature. Called
Taiwanese style. The rice gets stuck at the bottom a little bit. If not
enough water, then a lot. It ha sbeen reliable.

You should have posted a link to that. I can see whether it looks
similar to mine.

Reading formt he review there, some like it, some doesn't but I think
if you put enough rice, ti should be okay. But I don't like the warmer
hting if it's gonna dry the rice. If that is the case, I prefer the one
w/o warmer.

I have a B&D rice cooker that I initially had bad results with until I
realized that I needed to put the ingredients in the right order. In
the case of my machine, I have to put the rice in first, then fill it
to the correct level with water. Also, you can't leave these things
on the warm setting for hours and expect no problems. I'm pleased
with mine: it does the job, and it's easy to clean up once I let the
cooking bowl soak a bit so the starch can release.

We must not have the same model- clean up on my B&D is easy with no soaking,
but the rice is burnt on the bottom, even if I pull the plug right when it
snaps from cook to warm- I'm glad your having good luck with yours!

To get rice to release easily: run cold water over the outside of the
inner cooking pot. Also rinse your rice paddle with cold water.
Then fluff up the rice.

FYI- I did get this rice cooker, and it works great- it's a much better
design than the B&D. It doesn't burn the rice, it controls the steam way
better, and I really like the retractable cord.
