Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Proctor Silex 37533 10-Cup (Cooked) Rice Cooker, White
Customer Review: Love It!
Summary: 5 Stars
I've been using this rice cooker for over a year, 3-4 times a week. Tonight's rice came out every bit as perfect as the batches made when I got it. It comes with its own scoop that you use to measure both rice and water, and a list of rice/water ratios for various types of rice. You add the rice, the water, and any flavorings you want, pop the lid on and click it over to cook, and leave it alone to do its thing. In about 30-45 minutes, depending on your type of rice, the cooker switches over to warm, and you have perfectly cooked rice.
The capacity for this rice cooker is half of what it states on the box, but in all honesty, I bought it because of its compact size and price and hadn't even noticed the "10 cup" capacity marked on the box until I read some of the reviews here when I came to buy another one for a gift. This cooker is perfectly sized for someone with a small kitchen or someone cooking for only 1 or 2 people. I get a generous portion of cooked rice, and some left over for lunch the next day. I love trying new rice varieties, mixing combinations of rices, quinoa, and lentils. This cooker will even cook broccoli florets while it cooks your rice.
I will admit to having a few instances of undercooked rice, but in every case, adding more water and switching to cook a bit longer solved the problem. I suspect that I didn't measure as accurately as I should have in the first place. The unit seems to work by sensing when the water has been used up and then the unit kicks over to warm.
I've had a few boil overs, but they've been infrequent, and usually only happen when I'm making a smaller batch. The direction book says to reduce the water by 1/3 when making small batches, and I've found that helps. The one time I had a boil over on a large batch, my ingredient level was over the -max- line stamped inside the bowl.
Wear and tear on this cooker consists of some scratches in the nonstick coating caused by using the wrong type of utensils to scoop out the rice, and some discoloration around the metal edge of the lid, probably from overzealous scrubbing. Both the lid and the bowl go in the dishwasher, but I was well trained by my mother to do all the work before giving the dishwasher another shot. The nonstick coating inside the bowl makes cleanup a matter of rinsing the bowl in soapy water and wiping it dry. The lid gets a little more crusty.
I'm surprised at the low ratings from other buyers, but I can understand that when buying something online, you expect 10 cups to be 10 cups. I purchased this item at a local store for $20, and selected it for its perceived size in comparison to other cookers on the shelves, so I wasn't expecting a larger volume than I got. I'm buying another one for my niece who is moving away from home for the first time.
