Zojirushi NHS-18 10-Cup Rice Cooker/Steamer & Warmer Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)This is an excellent rice cooker but I would like to point out something very important. The directions say specifically that you must wash the rice in a strainer until the water that runs through them comes out clear. This is very important. If you are having problems with the rice bubbling up over...

Weber 731001 Smokey Mountain Cooker 22.5-Inch Smoker Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I am cooking ribs on my 22" WSM as I type this. This will be my third time cooking since I received it a few weeks ago and the results I've been getting have been some of the tastiest barbeque I've ever had. The design is excellent, the build quality is excellent, the instructions and support from Weber...

Sanyo ECJ-HC100S 10-Cup Micro-Computerized Rice Cooker and Slow Cooker Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I come from south India, which means that I grew up eating rice every day. This also means that for me, rice is not just an important food, but a way of life. At any given time, you can expect to find five different kinds of rice in my pantry at all times (10 kg long grain white rice, 10 kg white sushi...

Cuisinart PSC-650 6-1/2-Quart Programmable Slow Cooker Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)My fiance and I have had in mind for awhile to buy a slow cooker. We received a $100 gift certificate for a retailer - known more for their smarminess than their affordable pricing -- and thought this would be the perfect thing to spend it on. This retailer in particular only had two models of slow cookers...

Cuisinart PSC-400 Stainless-Steel 4-Quart Programmable Slow Cooker Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)We have had this slow cooker for three months, using it twice a week. So far we are very satisfied.In researching our purchase and reading numerous reviews, we found that the Cuisinart generally received positive evaluations. There were a few negative ones, but obviously we discounted them and went ahead...

Fagor Splendid 10-Quart Pressure Cooker/Canner Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)This is an excellent pressure cooker at an excellent price. I do feel they should have included a trivet and metal plate. All of the accessories are extra.I ordered the canning rack which holds 4 pints. I don't believe it would be wise to try to can quarts in this one, but the directions were not clear....

Aroma 3 Quart or 4-20 Cups Rice Cooker & Food Steamer with Sensor Logic Technology - Recipe Book Included Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)We got this rice cooker from Costco for $30 and let me tell you it is the best $30 I have ever spent. In fact I would have paid a $100 or more for this cooker. We've only had it for 2 months and use it almost daily. It makes perfect rice every time. There are seperate functions for brown and white rice....

Zojirushi NS-TGC18 10-Cup Micom Rice Cooker and Warmer, Stainless Steel Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I have had several of the cheaper on/off rice cookers. They worked ok for white rice, but anything else - forget it. Even with white rice, the bottom consistently got crusty and brown. The stay warm features on those types of cookers have a tendency to run too hot, thus scalding the bottom layer.Now...

Crock-Pot SCBAG Travel Bag for 7-Quart Slow Cookers Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I understand some people's reservations about this product, but I was careful about what I bought and if you are too you won't have a problem. I chose to buy the current 6-quart model (with the hinged lid and digital timer) of the CrockPot brand slow cooker because this is a CrockPot brand bag. I figured...

VitaClay VM7900-6 Smart 6-Cup Programmable Multi-Cooker Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I could not be more pleased with the VitaClay rice cooker! It is everything I hoped it would be. I probably invested about $1000 of my time researching rice cookers before making this purchase. I was very concerned about the VitaClay due to prior reviews I read here. I called VitaClay's manufacturer...

Zojirushi NS-DAC10 Zutto Neuro-Fuzzy 5-1/2-Cup Rice Cooker and Warmer Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I think this is a perfectly fine rice cooker, perhaps a bit over-priced, but it IS one of the famous "Made in Japan" rice cookers for which Zojirushi is justly famous.It differs in one main respect from the excellent ZUTTO NP-DA10 model sold in Japan: that one (which has served me brilliantly for 2 years...

Panasonic SR-DE102 Fuzzy-Logic 5-Cup Electronic Rice Cooker/Warmer,White Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)My first inclination when my fiance said he wanted a nice rice cooker with fuzzy logic like this was to ask, "what the heck does anyone need with a $90 rice cooker?!"Well, having this has really changed my mind. The rice is perfect. Every time. Got some stuff to add in to the rice? Fine, dump it in at...

Cuisinart CSC-650 Slow Cooker Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I did quite a bit of research before purchasing this slow cooker.America's Test Kitchen recommends West Bend Versatility slow cooker. It is a truly versatile model, but I didn't like its aluminum insert. As you may know, aluminum can be hazardous to health, so this slow cooker was scratched off my list...

All-American 15-1/2-Quart Pressure Cooker/Canner Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)When I first ordered this canner, I wasn't sure if I would be able to maintain a steady pressure with my "pulsating" flat-top stove. With the thick aluminum walls, I have no problems at all. In fact, with such thick walls, I can put the burner on "high" and it will slowly build up pressure so I don't...

Weber 721001 Smokey Mountain Cooker 18 1/2 Inch Smoker Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)As a fan of the earlier Smokey Mountain Cooker, I'm surprised and gratified with the changes they made to the smoker.The previous smoker was an easy 5 stars in my book. I guess I'd have to give this one 6 stars, because it's better! After using my old smoker for some time, I began finding ways to improve...

Zojirushi NS-WAC10 Micom Fuzzy-Logic 5-1/2-Cup Rice Cooker and Warmer Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I got this to replace a basic Panasonic rice cooker. Nothing wrong with the Panasonic's machinery, but the bowl's Teflon coating was damaged beyond repair. I decided to splurge on the Zojirushi because I thought the timer feature would be useful, which it is. I also like that it can make brown and sweet...

Fagor Duo 10-Quart Pressure Cooker/Canner Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)We purchased this cooker based on the recommendation of a Cooks Illustrated review, and we have not been disappointed at all! The 10qt capacity is just what we need for big soups, and the 2-level pressure system offers good flexibility in terms of cooking times and tenderness. We made a fabulous, tender...
