I purchased this model 11t-nm jan 2015. i could never cook the rice right. the power always jumps way too early and the rice is still not well done.

For white jasmine rice I use 2 of their measuring cups. This measuring cup holds about 3/4 US cup. Then using the marks on the inside of the cooker add water to the 2 cup level. Outside the container I add a full measuring cup of water for boiling, again using their cup. This works well for me. Note I live at 7500 feet, water boils at a lower temp and takes more to cook the rice. The main thing is the measuring cup that comes with the cooker is small and the lines inside the cooker are set for that measure. Brown rice takes more water in the outside boiler.

Did you cook white rice or brown rice? I think the instructions are for white rice.

The jumping of the switch does NOT mean that the rice is done-- one Tatung cup of water in the outer container will boil for about 15-20 minutes before it jumps, and then you'll want to leave it under "Keep Warm" for another 15-20 minutes, to let the steam slowly and thoroughly cook the rice inside out. Rice made this way turns out soft and noist, instead of getting dry and burnt on the bottom, as it often happens to other types of rice cookers.

I have a very old Tatung rice cook 10 cups for many years from the original company.. It's still working great. but not stainless steel. So I decided to buy a stainless steel one. I order from amazon, a very cheap look like stainless steel which I have never seen such kind of stainless steel. So called stainless steel should have standard number. I learn the original company was sold to other company some time ago. I don't trust the new one , so I never used the new one just like you bought. I still use the old, original one which is more than 20 years old, because the inside pot is real stainless steel.i I have a very old Tatung rice cook 10 cups for many years from the original company..

I used mine twice. On the second use it died. I can't get it to work at all. I put some almonds in with the white rice. About a small handful. My husband took it apart and cleaned it but it still won't work. And yes, we pushed the breaker button on the bottom.

I definitely would suggest you not to try that. If your rice cooker is 1600w, then you'd better use the 3000w above transformer. On the other hand I would suggest you buy a new 110v rice cooker. That make things easier...

Sounds defective to me... I tested my unit and the outer surface was cool while the inner was way too hot. I could never get it up to temperature. I think waring needs to address the problems with this unit. I was so disappointed in its poor performance. i couldn't get mine to season properly either (I've seasoned lots of cast iron before). I sent mine back as defective.

Same here. Purchased (for $180) in 2009. It's been in storage for 2 years. Used it to make soup today. It worked fine at first. Then we heard a loud clicking noise coming from the kitchen. The display was flashing and it wouldn't respond to any buttons. Unplugged/replugged with same result. It's not been used more than 10 times at most. Someone posted a video on YouTube of this device with this problem. Lots of commenters with same issue.

Just use this... The rice cooker I bought in Japan was working here, but not working correctly. This solved the problem. I've had it for 2 months and it gets used almost daily and its been working great so far.

I was very unhappy with mine as the bottom warped so badly that it wouldn't sit flat on the burner (electric stove). Thus it would never get hot enough. I had to use a gas burner on my gas grill to cook. I returned my purchase

I bought the costco model and loved that one. It was a great rice cooker and slow cooker. This item I dont' know .

I only tried the rice cooker; I did not try any of the other components. I was so dissatisfied with it and with the confusing directions that I want to return the appliance but I don't know where to do so.

I found that this cook top was slower than the electric burners on my electric range. I tried to return it, but the manufacturer made it impossible to return. I ended up giving it away to a thrift shop in case someone else might have some use for it. I tried heating water in my 2 qt induction ready pot. I never bothered to put on a larger pot, since the cooktop failed on such an easy task.

I like how it cooks, however, it will always revert to manual mode. If I leave the cooking surface open it starts preheating. However, the moment I shut the top ... it clicks to manual. I purchased it over a year ago and had the problem off and on since day one. Frustrating.

As another suggested, make sure you get the left side to click in and then push right side in and make sure it snaps into 'lock'. I had trouble the first few times, but I love my rice cooker.

That's a common problem, see the other reviews. I had the same issue. It would feed my cat successfully, at BEST, maybe 70% of the time. A lot of the time it would get to one minute before a scheduled feeding, then switch to 12:00AM, no matter what time it was, and the cat would go hungry unless we manually fed her anyway (which defeats the purpose.) A lot of the time when it did turn on at the right time, the motor would run, but no food would come out. This is a terrible, terrible product! 80% of the reviews are bad ones. If you can still return this item, DO SO!!! If you go on a trip and leave it with an animal, they WILL go hungry. That's a common problem, see the other reviews. I had the same issue.

We had the same issue. Sent the unit back. Got another unit that never worked correctly. Send it back. Invest in a better model.
