Choosing the Right Rice Cooker: A Buyer's Guide

A rice cooker, also known as a crockpot, is an electrical appliance to make cooking rice easier, healthier, and far more convenient than conventional methods. While cooking rice on a stove top can still be delicious and healthy, an electric rice cooker not only saves space on your stovetop, it can also feature the convenience of a “set and forget” method that means you don’t have to watch the pot and can concentrate on other elements of your meal.

Check the model you purchase, however, most rice cookers will have a Keep Warm function which means you can prepare the rice in advance, or continue keeping it warm while dining and entertaining, without the rice drying out.

Perfect for making midweek meals a breeze and cooking for large groups of people or families, or a dinner date for two, a rice cooker is available in a range of sizes from 1-8 litres and with multiple preset functions making it ultra convenient. And a rice cooker can cook more than just rice. Think of other grains such as quinoa, oats, or cous cous. Most rice cookers also double as a steamer which is great for vegetables making it one of the ultimate, versatile pieces of equipment to have in your kitchen. Other popular appliances for convenient cooking for mid-week meals include air fryers, multicookers, slow cookers, and pizza ovens.

What are the benefits of a rice cooker?

Rice Cooker FAQs

Which is the best rice cooker to buy?

The best rice cooker to buy is all dependent on the capacity you need, what features you’re looking for, and your budget. Robins Kitchen offers the biggest selection from trusted brands such as Baccarat, Instant Pot, Breville and more. Our top tip would be to start with the size you require, for the quantity of people you need to cook for. From there look for the rice cooker that fits within your budget.

What size rice cooker is best for 2 people?

While the capacity of our rice cookers at Robins Kitchen range from 1-8L, a 1-2 litre (or up to 5 cups) will be more than sufficient for a party of 2 and some! It also won’t take up too much space on the kitchen counter leaving more room for other food preparation.

How to cook rice in a rice cooker without it sticking to the bottom or burning?

The best way to avoid rice sticking to the bottom of a rice cooker is:

Check the water to rice ratio - Typically a standard ratio of water to rice is 1:1 for white rice and 1:2 for brown rice. This means 1 cup of rice per 1 cup of water for white rice and 1 cup of rice per 2 cups of water for brown rice. However as all appliance wattages vary, check the manual for recipes or recommended measurements.
Rinse the rice - Rinsing rice through a sieve prior to cooking removes excess starch preventing the rice from becoming a glue like texture, sticky, and removes any remaining dirt, dust, and particles.
Non-stick base - Most electric rice cookers these days will have this feature, however, selecting a rice cooker with a non-stick inner bowl will help prevent over-cooked rice making it easy to remove when cooking is complete and are removable making it easier to clean.

Can you cook rice in an air fryer?

Yes, you can cook rice in an airfryer, however, that is not what it is designed for. As an airfryer is to produce crispy results, you will not achieve the soft fluffy texture you expect from cooking rice. A rice cooker is specifically designed to cook consistently in simmering water and steam without evaporating making it the most efficient appliance for cooking rice. With multiple preset functions, a rice cooker can also work in the function of a multicooker with steaming options.
