SylvisMum Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 (edited) I have been looking at one of these click It's a rice cooker that you can also do porridge in, and use as a slow cooker, steamer or make cakes in apparently. Has anyone else got one? Edited February 3, 2013 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Looney Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 I've got an earlier (more basic) version and it gets used several times a week. I never use the porridge setting, though I have tried it, as I find using the microwave quicker. The slow cooker function is great and large capacity. The rice cooker is a total godsend! We only have one rice setting on ours but the rice is really nice, cooked just right, and the keep warm function means I don't have to try and time everything to perfection, wonderful when small children are around making demands on my time and concentration! If it broke I would definitely want to get a new one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patsylabrador Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 Yes, I bought one quite recently. I haven't used all it's functions yet but for rice and steaming it's very good and also fun to use. It's kind of nine in one really because e you can boil veg while you're steaming. It's a doddle to clean. I'm still experimenting but nothing has gone wrong so far. I haven't baked cakes or slow-cooked with it yet. It's easier to keep veg warm when you're serving up too.

SylvisMum Posted February 9, 2013 Author Share Posted February 9, 2013 Thank you for your replies about the 8 in 1 rice cooker, I am going to treat myself I think as the results of cooking rice on the hob are not always that good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CatieB Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 Oh dear I don't know if you have affected my subconscious, maybe I have seen the title of this, but I have been looking at buying this machine too. Think you have made up my mind. OMLET you are bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
