Don't order this if you want to cook brown rice with it.
That's one of the main things I wanted it for.  Instructions say it doesn't do that.
Now amazon says "return window is closed".
I guess I am stuck with the thing.

Rice is a staple in our house.  I have been making it on the stove top but have had rice cookers in the past.  This one does not make good rice even though I've tried various amounts of water.  The other horrible thing about it is that it splatters water all over the counter.

I returned product (6-cup cooked) and got the next larger size (14-cup cooked). I knew by other reviews that "cup" meant 6 oz and not the usual 8 oz, but I did not know that brown rice takes a lot more water.  Manual warns not to place more than 2 cups (12 oz, not 16 oz) of brown rice into appliance; or 3 cups of white rice.  This rice cooker can cook only 12 oz of uncooked brown rice; this will make 24 oz of cooked rice [4 cups (using 6 oz cup measure) or 3 cups (using 8 oz cup measure)].

Fantastic rice cooker! The rice you've never tried before. English-speaking buyers use this link http://www.panasonic.hk/english/products/kitchen/rice-cooker/sr-spx103.aspx  (click "support" then you'll see operating instructions) The operating instructions are identical!!! Highly recommend this rice cooker!

Do not buy this unless you like you food laced with the non-stick lining of the Xpress Redi Set Go Cooker.  I received this as a gift and it was used once, wasted what I was cooking and was dumped into the rubbish can as soon as it cooled.  Frankly, I'd call it dangerous.

I have been using this for several years to cook brown rice and I like it.  I haven't tried its other uses.

I'm a pretty busy person. I generally like kitchen gadgets and time saving small appliances.  I've owned a bunch of different brands and types over the years.  I must say-- This was one of the biggest disappointments of ALL time.

The product I'm submitting this review for is a George Foreman 2RC0010B 30 Cup Rice Cooker. I bought this product after a friend mentioned this model to me, she was thinking of getting one for herself at the time because of the supposed features and easy clean up.

I bought this product at what I thought was a sale price (Nearly $50) considering the generally advertised prices for this appliance type. It was purchased to replace my previous, much smaller, steamer that I'd owned for years. Initially, this product seemed like a great multi-use appliance because of it's stated rice warmer & Sear Settings BUT the Teflon coating began peeling off immediately DURING the first use.

When my rice was nearly at the end of the cooking cycle I checked it and noticed a pepper-like debris and strange scummy appearance over top of the rice. I'd thought at first that the rice had burned, wondering if perhaps I hadn't used enough water or something... That wasn't the problem, though. The cause of the issue became obvious after I emptied the rice into a large bowl. After I'd turned the contents into a separate bowl to cool I noticed that the rice was not scorched at all, the debris scattered throughout the food appeared to have a light metallic sheen. The entire bottom interior surface had bubbled, peeled and was flaking.  These coating flakes were dispersed all through the rice. So to add insult to injury, I also had to throw out the whole batch of rice made in this useless appliance as well.

Unfortunately, I'd stored this product in my cupboard for months before this first use. Since it had been so long and I didn't even have the receipt anymore I couldn't even return it. I've only kept it this long since because I intended to contact the company regarding the horrible experience and/or to show it to people who mention anything Foreman to me. Ingesting Teflon coatings can cause serious health problems and I've been actively looking for a place a where I can post photos of the bubbled & peeling cooking surface coating to warn potential buyers before they waste their money like I did or worse, eat food that was prepared in a faulty unit such as this one.

First off, it doesn't have a switch. If it's plugged in it's warming, if you want to turn it off you need to unplug it. I tried to use it to make 3 cups (1 cup rice, 2 cups water) of rice and it totally boiled over onto the counter and then switched its self to warm before all the water was absorbed... It failed at its one job and made a mess doing it. This rice cooker is complete crap. I'm throwing it away.

Horrible product. Only cooked it twice for good rice, the third time took 3 attempts to have the rice cooked; and it still is not cooked well; it is mushy and half-cooked; very disappointed

I noticed on page 8 of the instruction manual the Rice Cooker/Steamer was supposed to come with a steaming basket.  Mine didn't, but I shrugged it off because I planned to use it for rice anyway.

My first mistake was to use the hashmarks on the side of the bowl to determine how much water to put in.  When I did this and got caught on a phone call, I returned to find the pot had boiled over and all but destroyed the 9 page instruction manual.  The appliance is pretty intuitive, though, so I can't say I felt like I was flying blind without a manual.

I stuck the bowl and lid in the dishwasher to clean up the first mess, didn't have an issue, and have continued washing it this way.

I used the directions included on the rice package (rather than the rice cooker directions) for the second attempt and things went off without a hitch.

I'm still experimenting with whether a larger rice yield (more than 1 cup dry) will increase or decrease the risk of boil over.  I also haven't attempted to steam anything without the hypothetical steaming basket.  As my experiments progress, I'll keep you posted.

I've only used it for brown rice so I can't speak to its abilities with white rice or quinoa yet but what I've seen so far with brown rice has not amazed me.  While it is a set-it-and-forget-it type of appliance, which is nice, if the quality of the finished product isn't up to snuff then it's really no help.

First of all, we typically only eat brown rice and that's all I've cooked in it.  Many reviews refer to 20-30 minute cook times but that is with white rice only.  Brown rice is going to set you back upwards of 90 minutes...yes, an hour and half.  I wouldn't even have a problem with it taking twice as long to make rice as it does in a pot...if it did it well.

Anyway, I've made about 6 batches, so far, and every one has had some degree of burning on the bottom.  No, I have never let it sit in the warm setting after it's done for more than a minute or so either, so that's not the issue.  With the first batch I made, I heard it go off and stirred it all up to absorb any residual moisture before serving.  Unfortunately, this mixed all the burnt rice on the bottom of the cooker with the rest and we had to deal with periodic bites of crunchy burnt rice.  Since then, I've learned to carefully "peel" off the layer of burnt rice prior to stirring it all together.

Since the first batch, I've experimented with various levels of water and have, most recently, added almost double the water to rice ratio (i.e. for 3 cups rice, fill with water to the 6 line).  While the burning layer has decreased somewhat, now the consistency of the rest is suffering and comes out mushier than the initial batch.  I don't know if the 90 minutes is still not low and slow enough but I'd gladly plan for 2 hours IF it meant it would come out right.

I'm going to continue to experiment with the ratios and hope the quality will improve.  I will update with my results.

Worst rice cooker ever.

Every time I use it, it makes a mess all over my counter.  And, I'm usually only cooking 1 cup of rice.  I'd hate to see what happens if I tried to cook more.

Just like so many other reviews have said, a lot of steam escapes from the pressure release valve in the handle when the unit is supposed to be sealed and building up to pressure. Eventually, it creates a seal after a very long time dripping and blowing steam.

Absolutely terrible customer service! They don't answer their phone during business hours, they don't return messages, they don't answer contact form submissions on their website.

So, yes, I can cook brown rice: 20 minutes of dripping and blowing steam and 10 minutes of cooking. I could have just used a regular pan.

I wish I'd returned it right away instead of waiting and wasting time trying to get a hold of customer service. Now it's too late to return. All I have is a very expensive sauce pan.

When selecting the "brown rice" cooking option it takes over 1 hour to cook 1.5 cups of rice.  I've known other Asian brand rice cookers to cook the same volume of rice in ~30 mins so this requires pre-planning if you want the rice to be ready with the rest of your dinner.

I have owned several appliances made by Zojirushi.  The NS-WAC10 rice cooker is by far the worst one in terms of quality.  The unit I got had an obnoxious burnt plastic odor (before I even plugged the unit in).  I am boycotting Zojirushi products from now on.

Don't cook fish in the fish cooker???  That's what the instructions warn against.  You cant cook anything that is fatty, or has oils, per the instructions, or it ruins the plastic, causes pits, etc.  If you want this to steam a small amount of vegetables, great!  But otherwise, it is not as described.

Make sure you know its big enough to cook 4 cups of uncooked rice, but not combined with steaming your other food.  If you want to do that, then order the next size up.  Then it's a one stop meal!!
