They have quite a large collection of cheap kitchenware –from breakfast preparation appliances and devices all the way to microwaves and multipurpose ovens. While each brand will have its own instruction manual specific to the model in question, there are a number of basics that work with any rice cooker. For steaming, we added more water than necessary to the bowl below the steamer then manually turned it off once the food was cooked. However, over time we could easily have worked out the right amount of water needed to get the perfect result. That would mean that once the water had boiled away the cooker would switch to the keep warm function as for rice. When using a rice cooker, take care to avoid steam vents and avoid touching any part of the cooking pot that might be exposed. Some cheap rice cookers will turn off the heating element once the boiling point has been reached and maintained for a set period; others will cease boiling once the weight of the bowl’s contents has decreased past a certain point, due to the rice absorbing some water with the rest boiled away as excess steam. At this point, your rice should be ready to eat.

Rice cookers work automatically, and your rice will never boil dry or burn. The water is absorbed into the rice until it becomes tender, but unlike a normal pan, it is self-regulating, so you don't need to watch it, leaving you free to do something else.

Basmati, the curry house staple we’re all familiar with, is a long-grain rice. Pricier rice cookers can handle other types – notably short-grain rice, the type used in risotto as well as Thai and Japanese dishes, and more unusual rice-based dishes using presets chosen from a control panel on the front of the rice cooker.

Be careful, though, as the vent releases quite a lot of steam during cooking so never take the lid off without the aid of an oven glove or tea towel.

The resulting rice is fluffy and fairly well separated.

The instructions are pretty basic it doesn’t, for instance, say how many portions the minimum amount of three cups equals. We found going by 60-90g of uncooked rice per person that three cups (450g) was more than enough for four to five. It cooks all kinds of rice, including wild rice. Although that should be cooked as a mix with basmati, as on its own it requires too much water. There’s nothing we don’t like about this fantastic rice cooker – apart from, perhaps, the price.
