Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Panasonic SR-CG05NW 3-Cup Microcomputer Rice Cooker
Customer Review: Great rice cooker for small amounts of rice!
Summary: 5 Stars
My mother bought this rice cooker for me at least 5 or 6 years ago, and it has worked wonderfully during this time. I lived alone for several years and could not eat more than a cup of rice for a meal. When I have cooked small amounts of rice--one cup or two cups--in other larger rice cookers (i.e., 5 cup rice cookers or more) the rice would never cook well. It was often over-cooked with the rice browning at the bottom or unevenly cooked. However, this rice cooker is the first one I have used that can actually cook one cup of rice perfectly! The rice tastes even better when cooked on the "regular" cooking time for rice, but it works wonderfully on short timer too (which I use more than regular time). I've used the cooker for differnent types of rice and different amounts. I have cooked up to 3 cups of rice and it works flawlessly. I've not only used with Japanese (sticky rice) but with longer grain rice (for Chinese food), Basmati, Jasmine, and brown rice and it works (however, the brown rice takes longer to cook).
The small size is terrific; it doesn't take up space. I only hope that it comes out in a more square shape to fit better in corners, but I know this is such a crazy thing to write. I would highly recommend this cooker for single people, small families, or people who just cook rice occasionally.
Description of Panasonic SR-CG05NW 3-Cup Microcomputer Rice Cooker
If you make stir-fries and curries several times a week, it?s worth investing in a special cooker to produce the accompanying rice. This smaller electronic rice cooker/warmer makes up to three cups of rice--enough to feed three to six people--and takes up little counter space. The rice cooker has a color LCD screen and a white water level indicator that are both easy to see when programming settings and preparing your rice. Equipped with a fuzzy logic microprocessor, the unit controls the cooking time after you program in your quantities on the control panel and produces more consistent results every time. A timer sounds at the end of a cooking cycle and the electronic rice cooker automatically shifts into a warming mode. If the rest of your meal is ready long after your rice, a reheat button will give rice a quick 5-minute warm-up. This appliance has a 24-hour clock with a preset timer and a cook timer that can be manually set between 1 and 60 minutes to cook other foods, such as eggs or soups. The electronic rice cooker even has special settings for cooking porridge and cakes from a mix or steamed puddings.The inner pan on this appliance has a thick, dimpled bottom to increase water and rice circulation for even cooking and a nonstick interior for easy cleaning. A far-infrared emitting material within the nonstick coating helps rice retain its flavor rather than absorb any taste from the pan. This electronic rice cooker has a plastic exterior and handle that stays cool during cooking and warming, allowing you to comfortably transport the cooker to the table for serving. This appliance comes with a measuring cup and a rice scoop and is covered under a 1-year limited warranty. --Cristina Vaamonde
