Rice cooker

There are many kinds of electric rice cookers available these days. They’re becoming more and more popular in the West and are usually sold in Korean, Chinese, or Japanese grocery stores.

    Hi, Maangchi,

    What brand of rice cooker do you like? I want to get one that does many things–some of them are combination rice-cooker and pressure-cooker. I can make good rice with just a regular pot, so it’s a waste for me to buy a special cooker if all it does is cook rice. :) There is one they sell at a Korean market in Chicago that is Cuckoo Brand (yay, Korean!), but these fancy machines are so expensive.

    Lu,
    I think most rice cookers produced these days are reliable. I would like to buy Cuckoo pressure rice cooker to make mixed rice easily. You should leave your question on the forum to discuss a rice cooker.

    The above website is of the rice cooker that I use now. I guess I haven’t found the right rice cooker for me yet, but this one works wonders. It doesn’t keep the rice warm like rice cookers do, but it serves it purpose :). Thanks Maangchi for everything in your kitchenware page - actually your whole site is awesome!
