TOSHIBA Rice Cooker Induction Heating, Low Carb Rice Cooker Low Sugar Digital Steamer, 5.5 Cups Uncooked Japanese Rice Cooker, 8 Cooking Functions, 24H Timer & Auto Keep Warm

I’m honestly so impressed with this rice cooker. The design is sleek and modern, and it’s super easy to clean! The rice comes out perfect every time, fluffy and delicious. I especially love that it can make congee/porridge using the steam function. Such a versatile and important feature me. The inner bowl feels sturdy and high-quality, not flimsy at all. Titanium is the safest option by far.I noticed it’s frequently returned, and I honestly don’t understand why. Maybe people didn’t give it a proper try? Please don’t let that discourage you. This rice cooker is totally worth every penny. Highly recommend!

This is a great cooker. Induction cooking much faster than the disc in the bottom type. Cook time is reasonable and the rice comes out fluffy with no burn or residue in the bottom of the pot. The pot is ceramic coated and very heavy(substantial). Quality is very high.

In addition to this Toshiba rice cooker, over the past 25 years we have had two zojirushi "fuzzy logic" (as they used to be called) models (all from amazon). All claim to balance cooking time to rice/water so you get perfect results every time, and all have worked pretty well (family of chronic estimators when it comes to weights and measures!)The first Zojirushi lasted twice as long as the second one, but they both lasted multiple years so can't complain. This year, we wanted to try a model with the carb-reducing technology, and this Toshiba model had that, plus all the zojirushi abilities, at a lower price point. I should add that we briefly tried, and returned, the more popular but super-pricey Cuckoo model as not being good value for money.We are very happy with this Toshiba brand. Rice comes out perfectly regardless of the setting. It counts down in minutes from when you press the start button (Zojirushis only showed minutes for last ten minutes). Carb-reduced rice takes longer but tastes great. The steam function is new.It doesn't keep the rice warm quite as well as the Zojiruishi's in that it's a tad dryer in the Toshiba. That's not a big concern for us because most of it gets eaten and what doesn't is eaten for lunch the next day, but if you want to keep rice warm for a long time, this might not be the best one for that.It feels well constructed, it opens and closes with a satisfying thunk, the metal basket for steaming and carb reduction is not thin (as on other models) and the machine itself is that shiny kind of white I associate with sci-fi films like WALL-E (it reminds me of Eve from that film, so I've named it).Overall, highly recommended.

Ok I bought this for the low carb option. Things you need to know it takes 40 minutes in this setting. Also you can only do 2 cups of rice in the low carb setting. It can cook up to 5 .5 cups of rice on the regular setting. Makes perfect rice as long as you follow the instructions.It's easy to use and clean no issues. Has a cool handle to pick it up. Not a bad deal if you find it on sale.

Fabulous. Does rice just right. Wash the pot be rinsing. Nothing sticks, let alone burns on. Oatmeal smooth and more flavorful. Add carrots, green pepper, tomato chunks, asparagus, a boullion cube, some sausage, a little extrawater, press the button and -- done.It just works.

Likes:Makes beautiful and perfect rice every time. Low-carb setting is the best function hands down. Compact in size. Has cool handle for easy handling/storage. Detachable inner lid and vent for easy cleaning. It's well constructed. The lid swings open and stay open when you press the button. It closes with a satisfying firmness sound. No rattling anywhere. The metal steam basket is thick and sturdy and very easy to clean.Somewhere in the middles:I don't have a problem with "non-stick" pot but I understand it might be a slight turn off for some people. No rice paddle holder.Dislikes:None.

Initially the rice cooker cooked nicely, rice was fluffy and tasted great. We use it just about everyday on 'quick rice' setting since the other rice settings take a bit longer... and rice would last a few days without going bad. However, after about 14 months later, the rice cooker started to make the rice soggy only after 1 day and smells... We've had to throw away so much rice because of this reason. For the amount the product, you'd think it would last a lot longer.

I have tried many rice cookers and I have to say this one is the best. Turns out perfect every time. I love the steamer as well.
