Why are you amazed this particular cooker has such good reviews?

Jinx,
This is just another attempt at 'look at me' from the original poster. If
it would start a whole thread in which he/she/it could be the center of
attention the poster would be 'amazed' that the sun rose. Responding to any
Manda Ruby posts is like tossing a Billy goat Gruff under the bridge to the
troll.

I have one. For white rice (basmati), after it is cooked, the warn
feature makes it dry. For brown basmatic rice, when cooked it's hard.
If I added more water, ithe rice is left watery. I think that people
who get good results do not use basmati rice. I only eat basmati
though I buy Jasmine (like once a year) when I cook for a bunch of
people, following a particular recipe. I don;t see myself doing that
anymore. If I cook for a bunch of people, it won't involve rice
anymore

I don't know that particular cooker but I'd suggest you try soaking
the basmati first for 20-30 minutes in cold water. Then drain and use
the cooker in the normal way. Start with a 2:1 ratio of cooking water
to rice and adjust if necessary on subsequent uses. That should take
care of any 'hard' or 'dry' results. -aem

Any rice cooker will scorch the bottom of the rice if you let it sit
on the warm cycle long enough.

Didn't a perforated steamer plate or steamer basket come with it? My
older than dirt on/off rice cooker has a steamer plate and that's how
I reheat rice if I use the rice cooker to do it. You don't even need
to measure the water. Just keep it below the rice.

I don't have that problem with my old fashioned rice cooker (it's not
electronic) and I don't think you should with with yours either. If
you add too much water, your rice should turn mushy (the old fashioned
way).

I think I tried that once but I will try again. I do know that basmati
rice is supposed to be soaked for 20-30 mins for best reault.

Are you washing it well before soaking? That's an important step, and it can
be tricky because basmati rice is a bit fragile and you don't want to break
the grains.

Indians soak basmati rice in plain cool water; Persians soak in salted
water. Either way will work as far as texture goes, but of course the
Persian rice will be saltier, which may or may not be desirable.

if you have one and don't like it, what do you care what other people think
about it? or are you just looking for another chance to call people
stupid?

this is the one-year anniversary of the first time she complained on
rfc about the difficulty of making basmati rice in her rice cooker.
Maybe she's nostalgic.

No don't own one but based upon the versatility it important to understand
the design is probably for the Asian market where the cooking elements
within the average home are Very Very different form and average American
kitchen.

Hey, everybody.

Since Manda has trouble with her blood sugar, I think it
would be irresponsible to provide any answer that would
enable her to eat rice.

We should take better care of her.

Doesn't she also have doctors in the family? She could get plenty of
free advice if she was willing to take it. She's just talking through

Mine doesn't. Eventually it dries out but it doesn't scorch. Benefits

Dude they tried but failed. There was only one way for housewives to
bake a cake in Japan -- the need to occasionally be able to bake a
cake at home might well have outweighed the need to store rice for
days at a time. An inner pot for cakes only would have been another
solution. And I also doubt that vanilla or chocolate odors can
permeate aluminum or stainless steel.

The claim to fame of the "fuzzy logic" models is they don't do that.

I only use that in mine to steam veggies. Nice recipe, thanks.
