The name says it all, a rice cooker is used to cook rice. A rice cooker is an electric household appliance that makes it easy to cook rice.

How Does a Rice Cooker Work?

A rice cooker works very simply. You add your rice and water to the pot and set it to cook. When your rice is cooked, the rice cooker automatically switches to the keep-warm function. Let your rice rest for a few minutes and stir it before serving. Cooking the perfect rice yourself can be quite a challenge, but a rice cooker solves this. Your rice cooker cooks the rice for you by heating the water inside the rice cooker.

How Much Water in the Rice Cooker?

A rule of thumb for how much water to add is to have a fingertip of water above the rice. This can vary slightly depending on the type of rice. For sticky rice, add a little more water. For soft rice, add a little less water. Cooking brown rice? Then use more water. You can also easily cook sushi rice in the rice cooker and serve delicious sushi. Be sure to check our cookbooks for how to do that!

What to Look for When Buying a Rice Cooker

Do you want to buy a rice cooker but have no idea what to look for? No worries. We have created a handy overview of points to consider when buying the most suitable rice cooker.

• Capacity: the capacity is an important point to start with. For how many people are you going to cook rice? Determine how many servings of rice you typically cook and choose a rice cooker that has a capacity that matches this. The product information often indicates how many servings of rice the rice cooker can cook.
• Electric or Heat Source: some rice cookers are electric, while others are placed on a heat source to cook the rice. If you choose a rice cooker for a heat source, pay attention to which heat sources they are suitable for and whether this matches the heat source you are cooking on.
• Non-stick Coating: is the pot equipped with a non-stick coating? If so, this prevents your pot from sticking with rice, saving you a lot of cleaning work.
• Removable Inner Pot: unfortunately, you will still have to do the dishes yourself. If the rice cooker has a removable inner pot, cleaning the pot becomes much easier. If you like convenience, a rice cooker with a removable inner pot is ideal.
• Automatic Shut-off: rice cookers equipped with an automatic shut-off stop cooking as soon as the food is ready. While the cooker is preparing your rice, you can leave with peace of mind.
