Have anyone cook price with it ? If so, how long does it take ?

Not sure. Try cooking rice w a crock pot at home on low, and again on high and see how long it takes? I am not sure if it is a low or high setting for the Road Pro.

My husband cooked quinoa in it and it would take anywhere from 1-3 hours. I think rice would be similar. It was very inconsistent. The plug on ours burned after a few uses and was replaced under warranty. That one only lasted a couple of weeks (being used once or twice a week) and the plug burned up. I wouldn't recommend buying it.

Nancy - I did not see a light...but the temperature control is so very accurate that you will be sure of the cooking process. Just use a small dial temp that winds to the # of minutes you need. That's what I usually do...Walmart's has them for 5-7 dollars. It is SOOOOOO accurate...better than your electric stove...possibly gas oven as well. Good luck to you. Theresa

I have programmed it, which is easy to do but have not used it yet. It has a lot of nice features, which a lot of the inexpensive timers don't have, and if it holds up should work well. Sorry I can't be of any further help.

We just cooked our turkey in it at 500 (for like half an hour and then the recipe says to turn it down to 300 something for the rest of the time). The turkey and pan both came through just fine!

In reply to an earlier post on Oct 1, 2008 11:47 AM PDT solitaire40 says:I think it's confusing too. <snip> Tried a meatloaf and it didn't cook all the way thru.Maybe my fault - I don't remember. The cook book could be better.Reply to solitaire40's post: The cook book, charts, times and temps are only a guide. You have to use a thermometer to test for doneness...that's the only way to go.

I definitely think it is worth the money. I use it for much more than I originally bought it for. It costs less from Amazon than it does from a cooking catalog which is where I first noticed it.

Unfortunately, it's not like an oven where the temperature is controlled by a thermostat. You get options from low to high and that's it. Your best bet is to get a decent infrared thermometer and keep an eye on it. Or just practice with it and get use to how the unit cooks. It takes a bit of practice, but you really shouldn't expect much for something under $100.

If i use the QuickCook feature, a cup of jasmine only took half an hour. I've had this ricecooker for 5 years now, never failed. ^^

It takes about 20 min.Cleaning is a little difficult.Be careful with the rubber seal if it comes off it is hard to put it back, but it still cooks fine without the seal.

I don't recall getting cooking times with mine. I usually do 2 mins then check. Not very scientific but I haven't burnt anything.

Don, There are a lot of recipe out there and I think I used most of them, I think this one is very good in that it only takes 4 hours, so here it is. This recipe is from Dan Leaders taken from the internet.

Isn't this the most wonderful dessert? "Cook covered on high for 3 minutes. Stir and cook for an additional 3 minutes." I have doubled the recipe and cooked it for 4 minutes, stirred and cooked for 4 minutes. It worked just fine. THANK YOU for asking this question. I have one more old box and had not read the new box. I will now cut the back off the old box and save it! Callie

I haven't timed it but it's pretty quick, maybe a 2-3 minutes. It heats up pretty quick, too, maybe 4-5 minutes.

Ive only used it for reheating diced chicken and fresh vegetables. Average time 3-4 minutes. Very easy

I did a 3 1/2 or 4 lb chicken, but I butterflied it (cut out the back bone), I think it took about 45-50 minutes to cook through. You have to use a med to med-lo heat setting to keep the skin from burning, and you have to keep an eye on it and turn it often. Overall, the chicken tasted great, but I thought it was to time consuming since you have to watch it and turn it frequently so I only did it once. I do vegetables all the time. For small items that may slip through the grate, I put a piece of foil over the grate before adding the veggies, or I use a foil pan. I coat the vegetables with a little olive oil, salt/pepper or other seasonings. Squash, zucchini, and eggplant can go right on the grate, just oil the grate well. For corn on the cob, I wrap the ears in foil with a little olive oil and whatever seasoning I want to put on them and put them on the grate.

It works fairly good. Remember...this is only about $30. It takes a good 10-15 because it cooks nice and slow but with that being said I am happy with it.

I cooked it between 45 minutes and an hour, but it probably depends on how you like it.
