About this deal

We also experimented with the crust function. The crusty bits at the bottom of a rice pot are much prized in Asian cooking. Although at an hour and a half it took quite a while, it was definitely worth waiting for. There’s a sub-menu for cooking specific kinds of rice for more refined results and even a preset function. This allows you to set a timer up to 24 hours in the future, although if the pot contains perishable foods that long isn’t recommended. On test, as well as excelling at steak, we were also impressed by the Ninja Foodi Max's ability to perfectly cook a variety of dishes, from beef chili to fries. The large capacity is ideal for those that have several mouths to feed, although the multi-cooker is bulky and takes up a lot of space on a countertop. In the main, I got on pretty well with this do-it-all one-stop pot but I think I still prefer using standard methods, at least for making rice. However, I can definitely see it being a shoo-in for students, lodgers, people who are too busy to slave over a hob and anyone who’s not especially good at cooking in general. There’s no fanciness with this machine, it does what it says on the pot. But if you want something that does the job and is small enough to store in a cupboard when you’re not using it, this is perfect. Unlike the electric machines, it’s all dishwasher safe, too.

For the best, most satisfying experience overall, the AI technology and high-quality materials of Yum Asia's Bamboo model are hard to beat.

We also liked the fact that it’s available in multiple sizes, so different sized households can make the most out of this model’s combination of price and performance. However, we do find it a bit light on presets compared to a lot of Instant Pots, though at least they’re easily customizable. Also, be aware that there’s no air fryer functionality on here. So, if you want a multi-cooker to replace all your other kitchen appliances, this might not be the one. Multifunction rice cookers are pretty common these days. In fact, their ability to do more than just cook rice is part of their very appeal. To cook 2 cups of long-grain white rice, use a 1:1 ratio by adding 2 cups of water. For 2 cups of brown rice, use a 1:2¼ ratio, meaning you should add 4½ cups of water. Always consult your rice cooker’s manual for specific recommendations on water-to-rice ratios. This way, you’ll achieve perfectly cooked rice in various types, such as short-grain or medium-grain servings. Enjoy your delicious cooked rice! How to Achieve Fluffy Rice Using a Rice Cooker Next look at the capacity the Instant Pot can hold and whether it's sufficient for the number of people you have to cook for. Multi-cookers with a 6 quart / 5.7-liter capacity and above are ideal for those with a large family to feed, or those that want to batch-cook, while a smaller Instant Pot can hold around 3.2 quarts / 3 liters should suffice for an individual or couple.

Perfect for cooking meals for the whole family, or a big batch of something for the freezer, the Risotto Plus multi and slow cooker from Sage is a slow cooker, rice cooker and steamer all in one compact machine. It impressed with rice too, and the baking function provides a low-cost way to make cupcakes; it cost just 5p for 40 minutes of cooking time. There wasn’t the same golden colouring you’d get in an oven, though. 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. Cheaper rice cookers turn off this element once it detects that boiling point has been maintained for a set period. More expensive models will have a number of ‘fuzzy-logic’ settings. These automatically adjust the cooking time and temperature depending on the contents.If you encounter any problems with your Sage Rice Cooker, consider the following common issues and their solutions: Slow Cook (low and high temperature) – for long slow cooking of casseroles and stews and tenderising tougher cuts of meat
