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

Product Information

This rice cooker is simple, chic, and very easy to use. It's at its best when used for cooking traditional white long rice. You get the basic accessories and it can cook porridge and even curry. Fans of Muji's sleek kitchen kit will like it, but it's pricier than some. But for other PC uses, such as gaming or video editing, you will need better graphics cards, RAM and GPUs. Your cooking options in a rice cooker can really be expanded if you're able to set it to cook for specific times, though. There are plenty of recipes online on how to cook rice pudding in a rice cooker, for example, but you'll need to be able to program it to cook for a set time. If you can't, your rice cooker won't be smart enough to know that there's milk, sugar and other extra ingredients in there, so it won't be likely to cook for the right amount of time.

In electronics, you usually get what you pay for. The cheapest of electronics are cheap for a reason, and a general rule of thumb is to avoid the cheapest of the cheap when it comes to electronic devices. You do have to be patient with yours at first, though. Rice cookers are prescriptive appliances, so you'll have to experiment with your rice-to-water ratios before your rice turns out the way you like it. The best rice cookers can produce consistently great high-quality rice in a way that even those skilled with a saucepan couldn’t manage. Though a rice cooker may not be a staple kitchen gadget, for anyone who eats rice regularly – or wants to try cooking a wider range of Asian dishes – it’s an essential item. Where rice-to-water ratios are absent in the instructions, we default to using a 1:1 ratio for basmati rice and 1:2 ratio for wholegrain rice, as these are the most widely accepted ratios for these rice types that we could find. All of the rice we cook is rinsed thoroughly before cooking.

Our pick of the best rice cookers will help you whip up consistently perfect rice without the hassle or effort
