Healthy cooking and sleek modern design meld in this rice cooker from Cuisinart. A smaller version of the eight-cup cooker, this one also features a handsome brushed stainless-steel exterior, a square shape with rounded corners, chrome-plated handles, and a glass lid with a stainless rim, chrome knob, and steam vent hole. Inside you'll find a high-quality stainless-steel steaming basket and a nonstick cooking bowl that produces 4 to 7 cups of rice. The cooker also steams vegetables and thin cuts of meat, creating a complete, fat-free meal with little effort. Besides various types of rice, the cooker cooks couscous, polenta, oatmeal, boiled eggs, shrimp, and much more. An included booklet presents gourmet recipes for such mouth-watering meals as Creamy Parmesan Risotto with Asparagus, and Teriyaki Steamed Chicken with Cranberry Wild Rice. Cuisinart gives this upscale rice cooker extra panache with a cord that pulls out and then retracts for storage. One lever is all that's required to flip the machine on. Two different colored LED lights illuminate, one during the cooking phase, and the other when the machine automatically switches to warm when cooking is done. Included with the machine are a textured plastic paddle for stirring and serving, and a plastic measuring cup calibrated specifically for rice. All the unit's removable parts are dishwasher-safe. The cooker measures 7-3/4 by 7-3/4 by 9 inches, and is covered by a three-year warranty. --Ann Bieri

 Help Please! - Won't switch from Warm to Cook! January 4, 2009
annegirl (Washington, DC)
I've been reading all the reviews and I'm not sure if anyone else has had the problem I have. I've read the operating directions but can't figure out how to turn the cooker on! It's plugged in and the WARM light automatically comes on. But every time I press the button to switch to COOK, the button pops back up and it turns back to WARM. It will not stay in the COOK position!
Please help if you have any idea what's going on with this rice cooker!
 THE way to fix boil-over while making perfect rice January 2, 2009
Fastfwd (Silicon Valley)
We bought this rice cooker for the same reason everyone else did -- the look -- and we had the same messy boil-over problem that you all had, too.
Plus, even though we always followed the cooker's directions, rice cooked up inconsistently: Sometimes it was underdone, sometimes it was burnt. We tried different types of rice, tried using the included smaller-than-one-cup measuring cup, tried adding butter... Nothing helped until we discovered the secret:
Always add water according to the directions on the rice package rather than the cooker's directions, and ALWAYS COOK RICE WITH THE STEAMING BASKET IN PLACE.
When I say "in place", I mean as though you're steaming vegetables in it: perforated end down, open end up (the "Cuisinart" logo stamped on the side of the basket should be right-side-up).
See, the glass lid doesn't fit on the nonstick cooking bowl, but the steaming basket does... And the lid fits the steaming basket perfectly. You'll have no boil-over EVER with that arrangement, and if you use exactly as much water as the rice package indicates (and never lift the lid or stir the rice while cooking), your rice will end up perfectly cooked, too.
Great Rice Cooker December 31, 2008
Nvizion (California)
Great looking machine and cooks perfect rice every time. If you are experiencing boil over using this machine you are simply putting way too much water. Follow the instructions below for perfectly cook rice:
1. Place the desired amount of rice (any kind) in the container using the included measuring cup. (You must use the included measuring cup)
2. Fill the container with water using the water marker guide located inside the container to the appropriate level. For example, if you put 3 cups of rice in the container fill the container up w/water to the "3" water marker.
Following the steps above will produce perfectly cooked rice every time. Hope this helps.
 Stay Away from this Product!!! December 28, 2008
Robert A. Miller
We bought this product thinking all rice cookers produced the same results. Unfortunately, this couldn't be further from the truth. The product does cook rice but the boil-over produces a mess that requires 30 minutes of cleaning time. This boil-over happens every time you cook and not just rice. Cooking oatmeal produces the same mess. The steam-cook system that sits on top didn't seem to produce the results stated by Cuisinart either. Not all the vegetables cooked and we ended up cooking them separately.
We ended up having to buy another product that did the job we needed. We spent half the money and got a better product on eBay made by Ikeda.
Big Mess December 24, 2008
Jonathan Matt (Gorham, ME United States)
If you follow the instructions you will have a pool of very difficult to clean starch water all over your counter top and cooker. When I contacted Cuisinart about this I was basically told to get lost. Beware; this is a defective product!
