A Cute And Helpful Kitchen Tool!

My little Oster rice cooker and I get along pretty well.

It's one of the best little gadgets that I've purchased and has saved me boat loads of time slaving over the stove. Okay.. I'm not much of a cook.. and don't really "slave" over the stove.. but even so, this little rice maker is the best!

Here is a breakdown of why the Oster is a great rice steamer and why I love it so much! Enjoy and please share your comments below!

First Impressions are everything!

My Little Red Oster Rice Cooker

I have an Oster 3 cup rice cooker, model 4722.

When I first purchased it, I was just so excited to finally have a rice maker. I had wanted one forever.

So I plugged this little bad boy in and started making my rice. It is super easy to use.

There is a switch that you need to push down on and it turns red to tell you that it's cooking.

When the rice is done the switch pops up and the light will turn yellow which means your rice cooker is in heating mode.

My Oster 3 Cup Rice Cooker

What I Love..

The rice cooker will automatically switch to the warming function when your rice is done!

It's great to just throw it in there and you know you can't possibly over or under cook it. My rice always comes out perfect every time.

I cook with brown rice so it takes a little longer.

Also what I love is that the inner pot is a non stick pot so you don't need to worry about scraping away left over, stuck on rice. Clean up is easy and hassle free.

What I Don't Like

This is pretty minor, however, the one thing I had noticed is that while the rice maker was cooking, some of the steam would spew out from the vent hole on top. This made my counter a little slimy.

But I must say the past few times I have used it there has not really been any slime on my counter. I'm wondering if it just need to be broken in or something.

Just be prepared for that and cover the area with a small towel to soak up any water that steams out. Otherwise, this is a very minor issue and nothing that I cried over.

    Interesting. I didn't know they made a gadget to make the rice for you. Pretty neat. We cook rice a lot.
