If you're unsure about what to expect from using a rice cooker, we've listed some handy tips below that we discovered during our testing to help you cook your rice the way you like it: There are far more similarities between rice cookers than differences - they all come with measuring cups and spatulas, for example - but it’s worth considering the following: 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. If you’re more of a microwave maven and cooking means nothing more to you than a means to stay alive, then fret not, as we have something for you too. It’s worth remembering that cooking times can vary – especially with the processor-controlled “fuzzy logic” models as these will adjust cooking times automatically as needed. Even so, our results should give you an idea of what to expect. Even if cooking times are long, this isn’t necessarily a disadvantage – some of the models with the longest cooking times also produced the best quality rice. Plus, that time can be used to cook the rest of your meal or attend to other household tasks.

That said, we used the traditional one cup of rice to one cup of water method and that produced good results for both basmati and long grain rice. Brown rice needs more water – about a cup and a half to every cup of rice. We did have to try it a couple of times to get it right. There’s a 'keep warm' function but the manufacturers recommend not keeping that on for more than four hours. There's a variety of cookers on the market, from budget rice cookers to pro versions, so you're sure to find something to suit.Where rice-to-water ratios are absent in the instructions, we default to using a 1:1 ratio for basmati rice and 1:2 ratio for wholegrain rice, as these are the most widely accepted ratios for these rice types that we could find. All of the rice we cook is rinsed thoroughly before cooking. Clean the outer unit with a damp cloth only and avoid getting water into the electrics, plug or power cable. Rice, glorious rice, is a staple food for good reason. Simple, tasty and healthy, we enjoy eating it in everything from curry to chilli, paella to risotto. Plus, it's a meal-prep staple. Cooking it in a pan, on the other hand, can be a pain, as it’s a bit of a diva grain to get right. Enter the rice cooker. The least amount of dry weight rice you can cook in this machine is 2 cups, which is about 4-6 portions, making it a great choice for family dinners. If there are just two of you, then you can freeze the remaining rice once it’s cooled.

If you’ve got more cash to splash, there are multifunctional rice cookers with extra sensors for prepping pasta, quinoa, porridge and even cake. What should I look for when buying a rice cooker? RICE is one of those foods it’s difficult to cook really well, so adding one of the best rice cookers on the market to your culinary arsenal is definitely a good idea – bye-bye soggy porridge and hello fluffy, steamed rice. There’s nothing we don’t like about this fantastic rice cooker – apart from, perhaps, the price. That said, it is a hard-working, multi-functional machine. There are modes for steaming, slow cooking, cake baking, porridge and yoghurt making. We’d be willing to give up our slow cooker and steamer to find room for it on the worktop.

It's more the fact that you can walk away, safe in the knowledge that the machine is doing the hard work for you. Can I put a rice cooker in the dishwasher? If your rice cooker is small and you're cooking one or two portions, then the time it takes from switch-on to dinner-ready will be less than if you're cooking for a party of 10.

Next, either add water to the cooking pan with the measuring cup included or add water to the indicated fill level inside the pan, depending on your model cooker.
