Long ago I discovered the power of having a rice cooker. It is one of my most used appliances. I have had the Hamilton Beach rice cooker (20 C) for close to two years now and its still running strong. I was in the market for a large rice cooker with a very small budget. There are pros and cons to this cooker but over all I have been happy with it for my purposes.
Pros:
As with any rice cooker assuming it works; I love being able to start it, leave it alone and come back to cooked rice
I have cooked several types of rice including: sushi rice, jasmine rice, basmati rice, and lots of brown rice and it always does a good job.
Very Affordable got mine on sale for about $25.oo
Easy to clean
Has a warm setting so if I get behind in meal preparation I don't have to worry about the rice getting cold.
Cons:
While its easy to clean, it tends to boil, bubble and make a mess
It says 20 cups but realistically couldn't hold that. Think the most I have dared to put in there was 8 cups of uncooked rice(which probably was double that in cooked). The rice came out good but I wouldn't dare to try put any more in there. I usually borrow another rice cooker when I have large groups that I am cooking for.
