Amazon.com Review
With a 3-cup capacity for dry rice (white or brown), this 300-watt electric rice cooker automatically produces up to 6 cups of cooked rice without sticking or scorching. Accompanying the cooker is a separate tray for steaming seafood and vegetables, a measuring cup for rice, and a plastic serving spatula. The cooker's glass lid permits monitoring of the cooking process, and the handles stay cool so you can easily move the cooker to the table for serving. The cooker is 8 inches high to the lid's knob and 9-1/2 inches in diameter, including handles. --Fred Brack

Customer Reviews

It Lived A Long And Happy Life
I received this rice cooker three years ago as a gift from my mother and it has served me well over the years. It has recently given out, hence my reason for reviewing new ones online, but for the price it did well. I used this rice cooker on the average of two nights a week without any issues at all. I feel strongly that if you are looking for starter appliances for your home, then this would be a good way to go. I now know just how much I appreciate this appliance and I am willing to spend the money on a top of the line model, but like I said, if you are just starting out then this is the one for you.

dead beat - defective appliance
I bought one last year, and it died during the first time itself. I thought it was a bad piece, and returned it to the store, and got a replacement. Worked two times and third time it died. I was baffled, so I returned it to the store. But a few months ago, it went on a very tempting sale, so I thought I should give it another try. Worked for 4 times and then died. Something terribly wrong with this brand/model. We had several rice cookers of different brands over the years which gave us years of trouble free service, but this one is sure different. Don't be tempted by its cheap price. I don't believe in 'you get what you pay for' saying. Look at the Toyotas and Hondas, they are inexpensive but they are reliable, and you pay many more thousands of dollars for some of the Mercedes Benz or Jaguar models, and what you get is endless trouble. That is why it pays to do some research. Amazon gives us this great forum to state our experiences and we should all be thankful to them.

My favorite appliance in my apartment
I received this little gem of a rice cooker for Christmas a couple of years ago. I have not been able to stop using it. I love the thing to pieces as much as I love eating white rice. I think it is the most wonderful gift I had ever received for Xmas. It is definitely the most used appliance in my apartment. As a big rice eater, this little rice cooker is a godsend. It is so efficient because I can throw in the rice, water and salt, flip the switch, and walk away for 15-20 minutes. I don't have to worry about boil-overs or the rice burning at the bottom of the pan. Although I can use this to steam vegetables, I strictly use my rice cooker to cook rice. It is pretty simple to use. After 2-3 years of heavy usage, my little rice cooker is still functioning like it did the first time I used it. The rice cookers the negative reviewers got were probably defects because my rice cooker is still working and has yet to blow a gasket. The Salton 3 cup rice cooker is ideal for apartment dwellers like myself who lives alone. Contrary to what a few people might have to say about it, I love this rice cooker.
