Russell Hobbs 19750 Rice Cooker and Steamer, 1.8L, Silver

Product Information

There’s also a porridge setting, which can be used to make congee and a crust setting for Persian Tahdig. When using a rice cooker, take care to avoid steam vents and avoid touching any part of the cooking pot that might be exposed.

Cooking times vary depending on the weight of the rice and water, but the cooker alerts you when there’s ten minutes cooking time left and beeps when the rice is done.

The ideal rice cooker will produce fluffy rice and keep it warm at the right temperature (approximately 65C). Although some give you perfectly fluffy and delicious rice, others will undercook it or leave your rice dry and stuck together. The real seller here is that you can also saute, steam, slow cook and so much more from the same pot, so it really does give you the benefit of having a rice cooker and more, without drowning in kitchen appliances. The keep-warm setting will impact the quality of your rice Although the drop in quality was slight with the best models we tested, we found that after being left for an hour on the keep-warm setting at least a slight drop in the quality of the rice was inevitable.

This 1L rice cooker is great when cooking traditional white rice as it makes it fluffy, flavoursome and maintains a nice consistency throughout. You have to jump through some hoops to cook good-quality short-grain rice, though, and the mess it generates while doing so will require extra cleanup. The more deluxe ranges offered by household brands are usually a reliable place to put your money, but results can vary from model to model. As well as making yoghurt, porridge and cakes, the Lakeland can slow cook and, of course, there’s its rice cooking function.
