Oster CKSTRCMS65 6-cup (cooked) Rice Cooker With Steam Tray - Black

My first rice cooker, bought on sale over a year ago. At first it seemed flimsy but I have treated it with care & is quite sturdy. I wash it by hand, don't use metal utensils, & press "cook" button gently. I learned to place lid on pot to weigh down so button would stay on "cook" & not go to "warm" setting. By doing so I have been able to brown meat/chicken before adding veggies & liquids and/or raw pasta or rice (variety of one pot meals). Besides rice & using guidelines from recipes on Internet, I have made stews, fried rice, braised meat/chicken with steamed potatoes or veggies, & rice pudding; have yet to make cakes, boiled eggs, frittatas, oatmeal. Trick so cooked rice won't brown on bottom is to unplug cooker when button clicks on "warm" & let rice sit in pot with lid on for about 15-20 minutes. Cleanup is a breeze, chances of boil overs are practically zero, & economy of electricity and use of multiple pans. It's for single person to three people. I never put it away, always next to my stove. "Cook's Country" TV show/website recommends it.

I bought this cooker 2 years ago. It has served me well. I think those who don't like it need to remember to put enough water in it. It nice to put the rice on and not worry about any longer. Love this appliance!
