Electric Rice Cooker FD30D with Healthy Non-stick Ceramic Inner Pot, 6-cup(uncooked) Makes Rice, Porridge, Soup,Brown Rice, Claypot rice, Multi-grain Rice, Multicook Function with LED Display, 3L, White

Never ever had a rice cooker, nor ever ate rice from a rice cooker, but recently I had such wonderfully textured rice at Asian restaurants that I decided that I must try to improve my rice cooking. I cooked it fine on the stovetop, no problem, but after having such a great texture at Chinese restaurants, I wanted to have that at home. So, I looked and looked and tried to figure out which to buy, and I didn't want a regular teflon which get great reviews until you're eating teflon and have the throw the whole thing in the landfill. So, finally I made the decision to try this one. It is easy to use, though, I had no problem making rice before.....what I wanted, was excellent texture. This cooks the rice very nicely with improved texture......the rice doesn't split open, like can happen when I cook it on the stovetop. I am Pa Dutch, and a decent cook....but want to up my rice game. So, I bought a different rice on Amazon to also try. I think this rice cooker works well, and the 2 times I've used it, it cleans out ridiculously easily and the paddle that comes with it is super great. Like it....and I have a tiny kitchen and I don't even know where I can possibly put it. But, I like it....so, we'll figure that out. So, I think I just may want to try a nice firm rice, and then maybe I will be as happy as I'm going to be. This definitely is an improvement over what I was making on the stove top and it's easy to clean up.

We've had our faithful zojirushi 3-cup rice cooker for over 15 years, and we 'just' started to realize that 'maybe' the non-stick coating isn't a good idea.....strange it never occurred to us before.We cook rice, quinoa, soup & beans in our rice cooker - maybe use it once per week, sometimes more, sometimes less. After just one use, I can say I'm IN LOVE WITH THIS RICE COOKER!!! I ADORE the CERAMIC inner pot, so easy to clean, so much healthier than any coated-non-stick bowl!! I also really like the size, it actually weighs LESS than our tiny 3-cup zoji machine (without the ceramic pot) and is not much bigger! So it fit in the same space in our pantry. We immediately tried it out, basmati rice 1.5 cups with 1.5 cup water - PERFECT fluffy cooked rice!! Just after, we did a soup with a dry soup-mix (just add water) and it cooked that perfectly too.Cooks just as fast as our previous zoji-machine - is VERY similar in construction...the only difference is there is no 'drain cup' on the back (we were worried the dripping condensation would collect in the rim, but it seemed to do just fine without the drip cup!). Super simple auto-cook, press 'rice' + 'start' or same for other items.Awesome with awesome sauce!!

Good rice

We purchased our rice cooker and expected it to be nice. But we were immediately disappointed when we opened the box. More specifically, it smelled like chemical. We decided to cook rice with it anyway, thinking that the smell might go away. But it did not. The next day I came home from work, and asked my wife about the horrible smell from the rice cooker. We both agree that it smells like chemical and something is terribly wrong. Buyer beware of this rice cooker. There’s some chemical problem inside the ceramic bowl. It smells really bad like chemical like rubber or somethings wrong with the ceramic bowl .

This is a pretty good rice cooker. The design looks very nice and I really like the ceramic inner pot. It is not sticky at all and very easy to clean after cooking. It also cooks the rice the way I wanted. When I use it to cook rice with sausage, the rice turns out to be soft and sticky overall but crunchy at the bottom. However, it does have a plastic smell for the first couple times when I cook rice. As I cook more, the smell did go away. Overall, this rice cooker meets my expectations and I would recommend it to others.

I've held off reviewing this for 2 months to make sure I got some good use out of it. The quick verdict: it's great!A little more in depth: It's been fantastic for 2 months. I have only cooked riced in it, so no comment on the porridge or other settings. I can say it does a a great job on white and brown rice, and the ceramic pot is every bit if not more non-stick than the Teflon pots. It takes a little while longer to cook rice than our former Zojirushi, but not a crazy amount of time. The instructions and buttons on the machine are definitely catering towards English as a second language, but luckily anyone with basic familiarity with a rice cooker can operate this this. The buttons are labeled in English for "rice" and "start," so should be enough to get it done for most people.It also keeps rice piping on hot on "keep warm," and cleans up super easy, so not much to complain about here. I would certainly buy again!

The media could not be loaded. We have used several different rice cookers with the nonstick pots. We switched to this one because we were concerned chemicals were released into our food. Every time we cooked with the nonstick or Teflon pots. It takes more time to cook rice, or any other food in this pot, however, it is well worth the wait. I I just start cooking a little earlier.The flavor of the rice is different and my rice still comes out perfect every time. The pot is also very easy to clean and has not stained yet. I have cooked with turmeric in this pot and it’s still white.The only thing I would change about this rice cooker is the way the rice paddle attaches to the side. Other than that I absolutely love it.

It’s the best rice cooker I have used in the past 6 years. Ceramic pot is easy to clean.
