Rice cookers are an increasingly valued kitchen appliance. A rice cooker produces perfect rice, is convenient, and multipurpose to boot. If you’re thinking of buying one, here are some things to consider.

Size and frequency

How much rice do you make on average? One key consideration is the capacity or volume of the rice cooker. The bigger the capacity, the bigger the size. That also means the bigger the storage space and counter space required when using it. It also makes financial sense if you cook rice regularly.

Features

A rice cooker can do so much more than cook rice. The best choice is a cooker that can cook different sorts of food. You want one that can boil beans, steam everything from vegetables to meats, bake cakes and bread, make a breakfast omelette, reheat soups, and more. Look out for one with pre-program settings so that you don’t have to estimate the setting for the different types of meals. A cooker that has pre-program settings for rice, vegetables, soups, meat, and more are far more convenient and increases your likelihood of having a positive outcome.

Cooking mechanism

There are two different cooking mechanisms for rice cookers, heat induction, and thermal cooking. Heat induction is the better choice for a rice cooker. Also, select one that has an automatic warm function. This ensures the food stays hot and fresh whenever you want.

Price

Price plays a vital role when it comes to selecting from the many brands of rice cookers in the market. There are many different varieties of rice cookers including newer varieties with smart features which are more expensive. It’s important to remember that you don’t need all the smart bells and whistles. Your average affordable rice cooker will work just as well just without all the latest tech features. Stay on budget and fight the pressure to buy the most expensive under the misguided belief that the more expensive, the better.

Others

Other things to consider include whether it has a warranty. Whenever you’re buying electrical appliances, it’s important to look out for a warranty just to be safe. Does it have a delayed start function so that you can assemble all the ingredients in it and then only start it when you’re ready? A sophisticated rice cooker is likely to have a texture setting, allowing you to choose the texture of the rice such as regular, soft, or firm. Most rice cookers come with a metal lid but it would be good to get one that’s clear plastic or glass or buy one separately. Make sure it has basic safety features like a fuse protector. A fuse will trip when there are any electrical issues preventing the destruction of the appliance and even potential fires.
