Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Panasonic SR-G06FG 3.3-Cup Rice Cooker/Steamer
Customer Review: Terrific little cooker
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a terrific little rice cooker so long as you realize it's limits. For instance: One cup of rice (or for that matter, coffee), is approximately 6 ounces, NOT 8 ounces. So this cooker is good for about 2.5 regular cups of uncooked rice. I use a ratio of 1 cup of rice to 1.5 cups of water and the rice turns out perfectly.
I sorta wish it had the warming feature the more expensive models have, but it's small footprint is really appreciated in my small kitchen. (It fits perfectly inside my crock-pot).
If you want to learn more, check out the online encyclopedia site Wikipedia and search for "rice cooker".
PS: This is NOT a steamer, though the description says otherwise.
Customer Review: Great rice cooker
Summary: 4 Stars
Great rice cooker, love the non-stick surface and that you can make less rice for only 2 people. As description reads Cooker/Steamer thought there'd be a steamer basket included but there wasn't.Customer Review: Don't waste your money.
Summary: 1 Stars
My ricer is on it's way back to Amazon for a refund. Not only did the rice brown on the bottom from overcooking, but I could not get the plastic shipping smell out of the liner, pot/insert, whatever you want to call it.
I washed it many times in the dishwasher and even soaked it in lemon juice but the plastic smell would not leave and as a result the rice tasted, you guessed it, like plastic. This is not a good product, save your money. Panasonic SR-G06FG 3.3-Cup Rice Cooker/Steamer
Customer Review: I prefer a steamer
Summary: 2 Stars
i used a black&decker steamer to make rice for 10 yrs and it finally broke. I should have just replaced it, but i decided to get a dedicated rice cooker instead.
Maybe it is just that there is a 'learning curve'. But the brown rice i make with this rice cooker is undercooked.
With most steamers, you can check the rice and then put it back on for another 5 minutes. With this cooker it has a 15 minute timer. So either you cook for 15 min or another 15 min.
It is possible that i will discover that if i add extra water or run 2 cycles that it will make perfect rice, but i can't give this a great review because i haven't managed to make great rice.
Also this low end model does not have a warming function.
Spend a bit more and get a better rice cooker.
Customer Review: Rice Really Does Taste Better Cooked in Rice Cooker!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I love rice! I love rice much more than potatoes!! I eat rice several times a week! Well, when my Asian friend told me my rice would taste better cooked in a rice cooker, I didn't believe him, but he was totally correct. This is a great little rice cooker. Even cheap generic rice tastes great when cooked in this little cooker. It is not big enough for a family, but it is perfect for one or two people. It is easy to use and easy to clean. My rice tastes soooo much better now!!
