Durability: The build quality and materials used in the construction of the rice cooker are crucial in determining its durability. Elevate your culinary experience with our diverse range of rice cookers, the unsung heroes of the kitchen that promise perfectly cooked grains with minimal effort. An electric rice cooker isn't just an appliance; it's a time-saving marvel that takes the guesswork out of achieving fluffy, restaurant-quality rice. From small rice cookers ideal for individual servings to large rice cookers catering to family feasts, our collection ensures there's a perfect fit for every kitchen. If you fancy saving time and reducing your kitchen stress levels, then yes, get yourself a rice cooker sharpish! These no-frills appliances are designed to do one job well. They bring rice to a boil (once you’ve got the rice to water ratio just so, using the included measuring cup), before automatically lowering the heat to a simmer to keep it from overcooking. Once cooking finishes, they keep your rice warm as you prepare to devour it.

Have a modest household of three? A rice cooker that yields 6 cups of cooked rice may be what you need. In this scenario, we’re allocating an average of 2 bowls of rice per household member, so there’s just enough in case you crave an extra serving of warm, delicious rice. Not sure where to start? Take a look at the Aroma MI Cool-touch Mini Rice Cooker, which bagged the top spot in our review of the best small rice cookers on the market. While it doesn’t have a glass lid or a multi-cook function, it does have a 12-hour keep warm mode to keep rice warm for an extended amount of time! 6-Cup Capacity Finally, consider the extras. Even if you don't need bells and whistles, some essential features that add to the convenience of use of the device should be present. For example, a timer will shut the device down when the cooking process is over. The heat-up function will keep the meal warm until you're ready to serve and eat it. An LCD screen and alert system will make it easy to control the process. Moreover, many modern devices feature special auto-detecting systems. Such systems can easily determine a water level and turn the machine off when the water drops down below it. Rice makers that do not have special measuring capacities usually have a volume marking on the inner surface of a cooking pot. Another appliance, which is very popular among consumers, is a slow cooker. It is very similar to a rice cooker by design and functions but it can be used for a greater variety of cooking tasks besides cooking rice. Similar to rice cookers, slow cookers run at low temperatures, consume little energy, and can prepare rather complex dishes without your supervision. They do not dry food nor do they scorch it, plus they allow excellent distribution of flavours, sprucing up all your meals.

However, the above table can be an inaccurate measure of people served. Does your family usually require two bowls of rice, or is one good enough for every meal? If the children only eat one bowl of rice each during breakfast, lunch, or dinner, then you can go by the logic that a rice cooker able to yield 6 cups of cooked rice is enough for a family of five.

And, of course, a very important feature of every kitchen appliance is the material it is made of. For example, a body frame can be either steel or plastic. If you are going to use a rice maker constantly, then it would make sense to invest in a stainless steel appliance. Though more expensive, it will serve you for a longer time. On the other hand, if you don't think you will use the device that often, getting a plastic model might be a better choice. On top of its carb-killing properties, this cooker boasts innovative Micom Fuzzy logic technology, meaning it not just boils the rice but cooks it according to a 7-phase pattern to deliver brilliant rice with improved taste, texture, and aroma. It can cook delicious long grain rice, short-grain rice, sushi rice, and brown rice (both short and long grain). Besides rice, Kumo also cooks other grains (cous cous, quinoa, millet, and pearl barley) to perfection. Plus, it steams, slow cooks, makes porridge, and keeps any meal warm for up to 24 hours. Functions: Most rice cookers keep things fuss-free and will simply cook your rice and keep it warm. The two Yum Asia models on our roundup are more expensive but they offer a much wider range of functions, including steaming, slow cooking and preparing porridge.

Can I steam food in the basket at the same time as cooking the rice? This tops our list, given its excellent performance and durability. With a capacity of 1.8 litres, it can cook up to 1KG of rice, making it suitable for small to medium-sized families.

It also comes with a 5-year warranty on the heater and 2 years on the rest of the product.

If you are in the market for an electric rice cooker and are looking for a reliable and efficient device, you have come to the right place. The market is flooded with various options, making it difficult to choose the best one. To help you make an informed decision, we have researched and compiled a list of the best electric rice cookers available in India. Now, let's look at the unit's cooking modes. If you are going to prepare normal rice, you can choose between a Regular setting and a time-saving Fast cook mode. Meanwhile, a Rice submenu allows preparing various kinds of rice just the way you like it. There are separate settings for white long-grain and white short-grain rice (perfect for sushi) and brown rice. You can use a Porridge setting to cook rice or oatmeal porridge and a Crust mode to make crusty and delicious Tahdig rice. The rest of the cooking modes (Soup, Steam, Slow Cook, Yoghurt and Bake) will allow you to make a variety of healthy and delicious dishes for 1 person, for 2 persons, or for a whole family.

In this setting, 1 uncooked cup of rice usually yields about 1.5 to 2.5 cups of cooked rice, depending on the variety and amount of water used. Uncooked Rice
