1.6 QT Portable Electric Rice Cooker & Lunch Maker | Multi-Functional & Non-Stick Ceramic Coating | Digital Control Panel | 6 Cook Functions: Rice, Soup, Stew, Porridge & More | Green

So handy! The outside & bottom barely get warm & feel good to wrap hands around on cold days w/ no burning of hands or surfaces @ all. All 3 colors look great. I kept the green for myself. I've fried HB in it, added some peas, gr. beans, & pumpkin in after draining the fat off & made a meal for my dog. It does much more than rice & soups. It's very fast. If non-scratch utensils are used, it can serve both for cooking & also eating out of. Nothing sticks to it as long Iong as non-scratch cleaning pads & utensils are the only things used in it. A set of bamboo eating utensils along w/ silicone cooking utensils work perfectly to protect the ceramic. It would work for workplace lunches, college dorm use, RV's & tiny kitchens, or single people just not needing to drag out a lot of cooking stuff. I thought it was pricey & almost decided against getting it. I really like it tho! It heats so fast that I pretty much ignore the settings & just watch it. Takes about 30 seconds to heat a can of soup. Less for hot chocolate. It'll cook spaghetti, mac & cheese, & all sorts of soups/stews/noodles/& things. I haven't tried baking a muffin or brownie in it yet, but I think I could w/ the keep warm feature if the hot functions are too hot. I'll have to try both ways & see, but I bet it'll work. It's big enough to use some of the the microwave mug meal recipes (doubled) in it. This is a handy little appliance that has really impressed me w/ what all I can use it for & how cute, simple, & easily adaptable it has been for me. I'm having fun thinking of new things to try in it. Baked apples & cinnamon maybe, or who knows what. UPDATE: I got a recipe book for the Dash Mini Rice Cooker & I already had a recipe book for 1.5qt slow cookers. Both if then work perfectly for this cute little mug style rice cooker to expand meals to just about anything you could imagine or want to cook or bake in perfectly sized meals for a single person wanting only small meals, watching portion sizes, or just don't want to drag out a lot of stuff in the kitchen & keep it simple. Love this adorable little mug cooker. Cooks & bakes a lo5 of diffrrent things if you're willing to try it. I use my mug meal recipes in this too instead of a microwave. I don't have a microwave, but do have a mug meals recipe book for the small proportioned meals & treats & to keep things simple & quick w/o a lot of fuss. So go for it & discover as I did that you aren't limited to rice & soups w/ this little mug rice cooker. It'll surprise you!

I recently purchased the NutriChef Rice Cooker, and it has quickly become a staple in my kitchen. Its versatility is truly impressive, with six cooking programs that allow me to whip up everything from fluffy rice to hearty soups and even delicious stews. The ability to create a variety of dishes has made meal prep a lot more exciting. One of the standout features is the 600W heating element combined with a full-circle heating plate. This design ensures that my meals cook evenly and efficiently, which has significantly improved my rice cooking experience. No more burnt bottoms or undercooked grains—just perfectly cooked rice every time. Safety was clearly a priority in this design. The automatic power-off feature and anti-burn technology provide peace of mind, especially for those of us who tend to get distracted while cooking. It’s reassuring to know that I can leave it unattended without worrying about accidents. Cleaning up is a breeze thanks to the non-stick ceramic coating. After a busy dinner, I appreciate how easy it is to wipe down the interior. The user interface is intuitive, with clearly labeled buttons that make operating the cooker straightforward, even for beginners. What I love most is its dual function as a serving bowl. After cooking, I can serve directly from the pot, keeping everything warm for up to two hours. This has been particularly handy during gatherings, as it simplifies serving and minimizes the need for extra dishes. Overall, the NutriChef Rice Cooker is a fantastic investment for anyone looking to simplify their cooking process while enjoying a wide range of delicious meals. It’s compact, efficient, and user-friendly—definitely a great addition to my kitchen!

It's just what I was hoping for. It's perfect for my oatmeal in the morning. I know that it doesn't need to be good looking but it is. The smooth design, and the fact that the plug unhooks from the base makes it so easy to clean. There are no little nooks and crannies for anything to get caught in. It is quite simplistic, but is very well designed and I highly approve of the materials. I've cooked brown rice in it, and I recommend a stir at some point of any long cook to keep the rice on the bottom from toasting a little. Because there is no detachable bowl insert, I don't need a rice paddle to scoop the food out, I just unplug it and lift the whole unit by it's handle. It completely lives up to being 'non-stick'. I'm also glad to have this on hand for when the power goes out. I can plug it in to my reserve electricity and use it as a cook pot to warm soup and the like. I think energy consumption would be too high to make rice with my small energy setup, but there is a lower setting to keep things warm that I think will work well for soup or cooked beans. Just what I wanted. I've had more expensive rice cookers with all sorts of fancy settings, but for the price point you can't beat this well designed, attractive little maker.

Of the thousands of things I’ve purchased on Amazon, this is the first time I’ve written a review. Do not buy this rice cooker. There are no rice to water guides or instructions. Even searched YouTube and Google and couldn’t find anything. Usually rice cookers come with interior notches as guides. This one has none. I tried the regular rice to water ratio that would be used in a pot on a stove. It took 40 minutes to cook the rice and then it came out weird. Some crispy pieces some mushy pieces. Although I did return it, I can’t get back the 2 hrs of my life I wasted on it trying to figure it out.

I decided to get this rice cooker because of the different cooking functions it offers. So far, I've used it to cook jasmine, wild, brown, and white rice. I struggled with the wild rice because I also added sauce and shrimp to the pot. I had to extend the cooking time to get the rice to cook thoroughly. I used water with the other grains and achieved a soft and fluffy cook. I've found that I achieve better results if I stick to cooking the rice with water only and use a skillet to cook the sauce and meats separately. The cooking process couldn't be any easier. Just press a button, close the lid, and wait for the timer to beep at you. I've yet to try the other cooking programs because the product guide doesn't have any recipes. A Google and YouTube search didn't present any results for the NutriChef rice cooker. And, I wasn't able to find the cooker or related cookbooks on the NutriChef website. That means I'll have to experiment with the soups and stews. No biggie. I enjoy experimenting. I'm looking forward to seeing how well it cooks chili and stew for one or two people. Clean-up is easy. All you have to do is disconnect the cord, add a bit of water, and use a paper towel to wipe it clean. Love the lightweight feel and the convenience of disconnecting the power cord for compact storage. Overall, I give this rice cooker a 4.8 out of 5 stars because lack of recipes for soups, stews, and congee. Perfect for cooking rice and noodles for one to two people.

Great little rice cooker. It cooks rice, soup, congee, and noodles. It has presets for these. Just press and forget. Pity that if I want to cook eggs or do simple frying, the presets won't work for those. Just like those cookers couldn't cook rice well, either.

Does what it says on the tin. It cooks rice, and there's settings for soup, etc. The nonstick coating is good so far, no chipping or sticking. The only problem is, you can never soak or fully wash the pot. The pot doesn't come out, it's all one unit. You can't immerse the unit, so I wind up spraying with dish spray and wiping, then rinsing carefully. The power is pretty low. It takes 40 minutes to cook rice, on that setting. Almost 2 hours for soup. This item cannot make cake or bread. I feel like this is a hot pot with a rice setting. Even a cheap one button rice cooker can make cake and bread.

I bought this rice cooker for my mom for Christmas. She is absolutely in love with it! Starting from the style of it it’s super cute to just have it sitting on your kitchen and it’s not super big where it takes up too much space. It makes a good amount of rice and it’s super easy to use. She’s already wanting to buy another one to gift to another family member. We definitely love it and recommend it.
