is the water leaking out when you cook rice? i had this problem

No I had no water leak when cooking the rice. That being said I did not completely fill with water. I just cooked a little rice for three year old.

Yes, I actually get this issue every time I cook. How can I deal with this problem?

No leaking at all. I cook about 150g (one and a half of the little cup) each time, along with water and coconut milk (filled to the 150 line) and it cooks perfectly.

Once in a while I have a little leakage but it is because I don't get the gasket in exactly right. As long as I am careful to place the gasket in properly and check to see that it seals all around the inner lid I don't have any leakage at all. I cook small servings so there isn't much water in the cooker.

Also, along with putting 4 little cups of water for 2 cups white rice, or 5 cups water for 2 little cups brown rice, I add a tablespoon of olive oil--I mix it in with the rice before adding water. I was thinking that might help it not leak--also I think it tastes better. :)

no, I use only two of the small cups and I don't over fill with water. I put in 4 small cups for white rice and 5 small cups of water for brown and I have not problems. It is the best ever. :)

You are welcome. They should refund your money because it seems like the rice cooker may be defective. Or they should send you another one. Good luck.

Hi - Your pot will never boil over. If you are cooking rice, say, a few kernels will probably splash out, but it won't bubble over.

From talking with others, splattering out of a vent hole is very common. I had a rice cooker that splattered out the edges as well. I suspect that this is caused by the same issue you are referring to. Although all my rice cookers have had a vent hole, adding a little oil or butter took care of the problem. I add only a teaspoon or so. Using butter adds a nice flavor!

Yes, so far it has. My ratio of water to rice has been 2-1. Also, I spread a little canola oil onto the bottom of the pot before adding rice and water in order to help prevent rice from sticking.

Just add a little more water .. When I had my rice dispenser it cooked perfect if you put handle pulls from the rice dispenser and then the water to the 2 line .. If I measure 2 cups of rice with measuring cups and put the water up to the 2 line it under cooks .. So until I get another dispenser I just adjusted how much water I put .. took a few batched to get the rice the consistency we like .. Other then that it works great

I've not had any issues. If it's leaking underneath, there may be a crack. Also be sure to not over-fill the water tank. Additional information is in the user guide on page 14 (http://kitchen.manualsonline.com/manuals/mfg/melitta/mes2b.html?p=14 ) and addresses leaks. I hope this helps.

I suggest removing the plug and reinstalling the plug. We haven't had any issues with leaking.

I didn't have much leaking. My issue was getting the egg cooked thru without burning the bottom, but I think a lid on the pan for a couple of mins. would fix that.

No, I have never had a problem with it leaking. Try to keep it upright. Make sure the straw is down.

You're supposed to rinse the rice before you cook it. We've only had it a few times but we've not had any issues with it.

I have not had the same problems. It sounds like you need a little more water. I have not had the chance to cook brown rice with it but with white rice i make sure the water level reaches the number inside the rice cooker that matches the number of cups of rice I use. I hope this helps.

Leaking how? I've never had a problem with mine. Open the air pressure release valve when not in use and screw it in tight before use again. But it shouldn't leak, it's all one piece.

For brown rice I use more water and it comes out fine - don't think it knows what kind of rice you are cooking

Examine the seal between the lid and the cooker when this happens. If there is steam hissing out or water dripping from the emergency blow out, the gasket is not seated properly (could be a friction thing, stuck food or something else) and pressure will not build up. Either take the lid out and reseat the gasket or jiggle/push the gasket with a spoon handle or some such through the cutout ( a rectangular cutout, approx 1 inch long, in the lid near the handle which allows the gasket to blow out when there is excessive pressure). I hate having to do this but somehow the fagor gasket material seems to always do this for me. Need to call and complain to them. Examine the seal between the lid and the cooker when this happens.

no problem with steam coming out of water pan. Are you setting the heat too high ?Lower the heat, it only has to stay cooking !

Once in awhile that happens to me. Usually doesn't persist when I lay my hand (w/pot mitt) on lid. Spring mechanism is sensitive to humidity I think. I have two of these rice cookers. When one has problems. I just switch to my alternate appliance. The next day...the fickle one is usually fine�
