I love this little pressure cooker. It has become my most used appliance as an empty nester.
First off, I bought a Bear yogurt maker a few years ago and I love it so much. I loved the attention to detail, that real glass was used over plastic to make my yogurt in. So, when I needed a very small appliance of course I turned to Bear. I call this my Baby Pot. And goodness, do I love the attention to detail Bear put into this little pressure cooker! It is so cute to use, it makes me smile. I already own a 6 quart instant pot, and a three quart instant pot. But, they are just too big for the two of us. And when I saw Bear had this product I didn't hesitate to buy it. There are no recipes in the manual. It is a simple manual. Others have complained about it. I have discovered which functions are pressure cooking settings and which are not by a simple process - if you turn it on, select a function button then remove the lid, the pressure settings give you a LID warning error on the digital display. I also discovered that the slow cooker setting, (there is no low or high for this), seems to cooks on high, so I shorten my cooking times accordingly.This appliance comes with a little rice measuring cup, and the max is 3 cups of rice. That totals to to 2 and 1/4 standard measuring cups of rice. Each button has a preset time, you just press the same function button to increase that time, once it reaches its maximum time, the counter will roll over to a smaller time on almost all the buttons. That is fine with me.Rice isn't the only thing that can be cooked in this pot. What I love is that I can pressure cook 1/4 of a cup of dried beans, with 3/4 cup of water. There is a start cooking delay button, but the smallest time delay you can set is for 2 hours. (I don't recall the maximum delay time, but you can set it before bed, and have breakfast, or lunch ready the next day.) Since each button has a set minimum time, if you need to pressure cook veggies for less time, just set a timer. The pot makes a sound when it has reached the correct heat or pressure, so I start counting my time from that point. Also, you will see the display change to the count timer. I can just do a simple math and figure out if it's gone a minute or two, hit the cancel button, and release the pressure manually.Talking about releasing the pressure manually - I simply love how that is done. I press a button on handle! So simple, so neat and clean. You need to hold down the button to continuously release the pressure, which is okay with me. If I see any sputtering, I stop releasing the steam for a few seconds, and let the pressure out in short bursts. All without getting near the pressure weight or vent.I have small hands, (painful hands on some days), and the pot handle is great. It is comfortable for me to use. It doesn't cause any extra pain on my bad hands day. Everything in this little pot seems well thought out for ease of function. I also love that appliance has a handle, just like a bucket, and can be carried like a bucket...so cute! AND that was a function I didn't know I was missing and is useful. I can move the pot around with ONE hand. :)Customer service is really great. They are very responsive to any questions via Amazon's web site. I didn't respond for a few weeks, (sick), but they acted like no time had passed. I appreciate that. Things pop up in life and sometimes you can't immediately respond. They have a great deal of patience,to . I REALLY appreciate that.I originally thought I would learn how to cook with this pot, (and use it for traveling only), in the hotel rooms, since it is so small and won't take up a lot of space in the car. (Keep the original box to pack it for travel!) But this Bear Pressure cooker has become my go to appliance at least once a day, and I have had this for a few months now. I think this would be the perfect gift for a college student. Just buy them one when they are in 12th grade, and teach them how to use it, so by the time college rolls around, or they move out, they will have experience in using it without worry, (or should I say without your worrying about them using a pressure cooker?!). I feel this is the safest electric pressure cooker, or stove top pressure cooker, I have ever owned. I love it.Oh, and if you do have a larger family, you can use the Bear pressure cooker to make a side dish easily. It takes up very little counter space; you should be able to squeeze it in somewhere. I also found that this Bear appliance does not over heat my counter top. I don't need to put a trivet under it. It would have been perfect back in the day when I was making baby food. Just the right size if you prep baby food ahead of time, like I did. And it also is the perfect size that a finicky eater who doesn't like what you have cooked for the family. He or she easily can go fix themselves something in the Bear Pressure cooker. It also works if someone in the family is on a special diet. Easy to make a small portion just for them in the small cooker without a huge amount of left overs.Ease of cleaning is great. I don't like to put my non stick pots into the dishwasher, so I just hand wash the inner pot, and I also hand wash the little lid. I don't soak the pressure cooker's lid in water, I don't like the idea of water in hard to reach dry places; I don't do that for my Instant Pot lids, either. That is just personal preference.Over all. I do so love BOTH of my Bear appliances. They are good at what they do. And it does make my life easier. :)

perfect rice everytime
cooks the jasmine white rice the same everytime. We get a little, very little amount of browning on one bottom side of the pot.Doing a full pot, that is, two cups of rice and filled to the 2 cup line.The first time we used this I did a one cup with the proper level of water, and it boiled a lot of rice residue out of the relief valve -- made a bit of a mess. I almost sent it back. But the next time, instead of using water I used Chicken broth, not suggested in the instructions and to further go against the instructions, I put a couple of teaspoons of olive oil on top, close the lid and punched the start button -- prefect rice. From this you can put it in a bowl and just eat it, or add your favorite veg, or nuts, or beans, whatever. Love it. Oh, and no more boiling out of the relief valve. Love it.

The best little rice cooker!
This is the best little rice cooker! It works perfectly, super simple instructions, makes up to 4 cups of rice easily and doesn’t take up a ton of space. I would definitely buy again!!

Effective for small amounts plus good looking
Works well but the auto feature has a tendency to overcook the rice in my opinion...set a timer for around twenty minutes instead if you like a little bite to your rice rather then mushy...

It gets rice cooked - Pros/Cons
FYI Stuff:If you lose included measure cup it holds 2/3 cup or 160ml of rice.Sealing ring wide part seals against inner pot when putting sealing ring back on after cleaning. Narrow groove clips over top plate.Do the half pot water cook when received to get rid of initial burner heating smell and steam clean inside.Pro:Mini rice cooker with a nice inner pot. A lot of these have an inner pot so thin that it bends with slight finger pressure. The inner pot in this is at least a couple millimeters and has no deflection from pressing. Nonstick coating looks decent and working fine. Will have to see how it holds out.Takes up little space and and great when just needing two servings.Removable cord is nice and has a standard D type connector like used on computer power supplies. I used an old 5 foot computer cord as I needed longer cord than 3 foot included one.Silicone seals seem good but would like heavier duty.Con:The pot is in keep warm mode as soon as plugged in without ability to turn off except pull cord out. Bottom plate is 120 degrees with no pot in it.Included cord is 3 foot. I needed longer one.Took 36 minutes to cook 2 cups of rice, not 25 like mentioned in manual. Will need to try just 1 cup of rice and see if 25 minutes.Top seal plate is thinner and flexes more than would like. Also, it is bare aluminum.
