Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Panasonic SRG06FG 3.3-Cup Automatic Rice Cooker
Customer Review: Simple rice
Summary: 5 Stars
I've have had an early version of this rice cooker for 15 years. But its the last 5 years that I have used it frequently.
Needless to say the instructions disappeared years ago. The first I'd heard of soaking rice was recently.
It makes perfect rice for me. I make brown or wild rice, even an exotic black Canadian rice. I don't soak or rinse the rice (but may start).
First I coat pot with olive oil spray. Measure in my water, add measured rice, usually a 2:1 water to rice ratio. I don't use the internal markings on pot.....
Putting the water in first has eliminated any burning. Making the max amount has always made a little mess. So, I'm buying a bigger size rice cooker!
Customer Review: Not Quite What I Expected
Summary: 5 Stars
Don't get me wrong, this is an excellent rice cooker. On that note, there is little more I could say that hasn't already been said in previous reviews.
However, the product description is somewhat misleading. I ordered this specific product because the description said it also comes with a steamer basket. The model I bought (the one in the description) "does not" have a steamer basket. So pay very close attention to which model you are actually buying!
I was moreso seeking a rice cooker so when this model arrived, I really didn't want to go through the hassel of returning it and waiting for the right model.
Also, this model was supposed to come with a wooden rice paddle. No paddle is included!
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: This little thing is great!
Summary: 5 Stars
Despite all the other reviews. I will give you my full honest review.
I read all the other ones about people complaining how this little thing was NOT that great. I have to differ. This thing does exactly what its suppose to do. I've been using this thing for about 1 month now and its great. Its alot smaller than i had pictured it but it makes just enough rice for a family of 3. It makes perfect white rice every time. i have not tried any other rice beside the white rice. Never had any spilling of liquid or burnt rice. Overall, as long as you read the correct measurements. everything will turn out perfect everytime! I would definately purchase this model again.
Customer Review: Simple, Fast and Easy
Summary: 5 Stars
I needed a simple rice cooker and I found it. It's not advanced, it doesn't do timed cooking but it works perfectly for all the different kinds of rice I've used so far. I max out the capacity for 2 people and I've made a ton of rice with it since I got it. Great product. Eventually I'm going to want a bigger one and a timed one that keeps it warm and does other stuff but for a starter, this is perfect. One note: I use broth instead of water for most of my rice, if you do that, you might need to add a little more broth than you would with water or it may slightly brown the rice on the bottom of the pot. That's it! Love the thing! Great buy.
