CUCKOO Micom Fuzzy Logic Rice Cooker, 6-Cup Cooked, Red, CR-0351FR

I actually bought this product to make black garlic, you put several heads of garlic in paper towels and place in machine for days on warm. It works very well for this purpose, although you'd better place it out of your house because the house will smell intensively like garlic if you keep it inside. Garage is best. I got the bonus of discovering that it is an excellent machine for its real purpose, cooking rice. You will save significant time cooking either brown or white rice and it cooks it to my specific preference of "sticky".The cleanup is very easy as the insert is nonstick. It has an excellent warm function and is programable. It is compact. It works very well for 1 to 4 servings, possibly more but I do not need it for more. I would highly recommend this device.

This is my second favorite thing in the world (the first being my dog)! I've used it every day since it's arrived and I'm already wondering how I ever managed to live without it!Had you asked me about rice cookers a couple years ago, I'd have told you they were a waste of money because there's nothing to cooking rice on the stove, but then I inherited a small, super cheap/basic model from a friend when he upgraded and couldn't believe the difference in my rice. I used it enough that when it finally died, I figured I'd upgrade and started reading up on nicer models, the problem is, as a single person (who intends to stay that way), most nicer models are just too big for me. When I found this 3-cup model, I thought it would be just enough, so I took the plunge and dropped what is the most I've ever spent on a kitchen appliance.The difference between a base model and something like this is like the difference between a bicycle and a car. Instead of just my rice, I can make full meals in this baby!I have to admit, the directions are a bit tricky, they might have used Google Translate there. I'm still trying to figure out how to use the "auto steam cleaning system" because I can't find anything about it in the manual or online. But otherwise, I'm deeply in love and have been recommending one to all my friends.

OK OK OK, this is an awesome product. I have for years cooked so so rice a little under cooked or over cooked. Following the instructions the first batch of long grain white rice was PERFECT!! Yes perfect. Just setup the rice to cook then press the button once programmed. Oh the programing is not really difficult actually call it setup and the go. Perfect rice every time.

This is perfect size for two people. I had a basic Tiger rice cooker which could only handle rice. This cuckoo can do much more like steam and make oatmeal. I love it has a reheat option too which I use for warming up some frozen rice balls that I buy from the grocery store.The only reasons I gave it 4 stars is the digital reading is dim. I have to use a flashlight to read it more clearly. I also wished it came with a steamer basket. It can steam but why isn't one included? But I did find one on Amazon that fit perfectly: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0D2KSWJZ3I bought this for $90+ and noticed it had gone down to $69+ within 30 days. I wish my previous rice cooker didn't break so soon or I would have bought it for a bargain price!

I always wanted a rice cooker as I appreciate the perfect every time rice I get from my favorite Asian restaurant. Since they are expensive, I did my research. Buying the Japanese brand z.. was recommended and to make sure the machine was made in Japan not China. I live alone and did not want to spent the $150 plus that brand's small cooker costs. The Cuckoo was also recommended. It is made in Korea. I purchased mine from the Amazon Warehouse for about $35 less than the current price of $99. I have used it for a month now and I love it. I only cook one serving at a time which most rice cookers just can't handle. With the Cuckoo, rice never tasted so good. The keep warm feature holds the rice perfectly and never is the rice overcooked or dried out even after several hours. I have found it best to cook sprouted brown rice on the glutinous white rice cycle as the brown cycle makes it is too mushy. I cook white and brown rice. I want to try other grains but first I will look for the "how to" online. I am so glad I purchased this Cuckoo rice cooker. Try this one before you buy that pricey Z brand especially if you live alone or in a small household. And yes, the high end fuzzy logic rice cooker rice comes out way better than a pot on the stove top or those cheap "off/on" cookers you can get for $20 bucks.

It cooks rice evenly and consistently, Very satisfied with the ability to turbo cook. It is really handy when I am in time crunch. Not only that, it can also cook porridge and other dishes. I have attempt to use it for chicken feet and it handles the cooking really well.One small thing is this is becoming too small for me and I am going to stick to this brand for rice cooker.

Really nice rice cooker for a rice loving Irish guy. Might not accommodate families that eat rice every day but, works great and is simple for those of us who use it a couple days a week. Easy to clean and once you get used to it, easy to use. Makes GREAT rice. Small enough to store and easy to use. I love it!!!

Got it a few days ago. I tested it with just one cup of rice - this cooker cooked it in 10-15 minutes flat!I'm Korean-American, and I expected the Cuckoo to be faster than the Zoji cookers, but, wow, this was the fastest I've ever seen rice cooked! This was on the "Turbo" cooking function but there wasn't that THAT much of a difference between quality of the rice cooked on the turbo vs the normal glutinous functions that I noticed. Actually, I kinda preferred the rice cooked on the turbo function. With two cups it took 5-10 minutes more - still fast as lightning.The rice kernels were fully cooked into its center altho only a tiniest bit al dente. I read another Korean reviewer remark that she wished it was a pressure cooker. I understand this sentiment, however, because I know Koreans like their rice fully cooked and evenly from outside of the kernel all the way in. The pressure cooker models cost around $400 a pop, however, so, yeah.... Also, I think many Americans, however, would prefer this texture, and I myself didn't mind it at all either. The kernels were truly cooked all the way to center - don't mistake me... just the pressure cookers I think do tend to change the molecular structure of the starch to make them more texturally appealing to Koreans, and there is a difference. I, myself, am not that picky, however. I think this cooker still cooks rice to a quality that you would find from 90% of so called sushi restaurants in the US and that on the "turbo" function - in other words, not bad at all, unless you really are picky and sensitive to the texture and flavor of rice.Also, no residual moisture on the sides when I opened like you would get with bargain basement 20$ cookers. No splattering or boil overs either. And even on the regular glutinous rice setting, the rice cooked evenly and rather fast. The glutinous setting I think took maybe 10-15 minutes more, but that's still really fast to cook rice. For reference, the Zoji models I'm familiar with can take
