Customer Reviews for Hamilton Beach Advanced Multi-Function 16-Cup Stainless Steel Rice Cooker with Fuzzy Logic

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It was easy to use. It cooked my rice perfectly and fast. It was way better then the oven. I steamed vegetables they came out perfect. I seasoned them inside before I cooked them. My family loved them. It was easy to serve as well as clean up. I needed this I have 3 sons that love to eat. I'm already getting ready to use it this morning. The only negativeI will need a bigger one because of how much my sons eat.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the simple design and how it has easy buttons to use for rice and hot cereal. at first I was unsure of using the rice cooker but reading up the manual it seemed a bit easier, after using it 3 to 4 times I finally got the hang and the rice comes out really nice and fluffy. The clean up is pretty easy as well, the pot comes out really quick and can be cleaned at the sink. The pot that comes with it can be taken out before turning on the rice cooker and you can prepare the dishes that you want before hand without worrying about dropping food on the buttons or sides.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Rice is a staple in my house, so we need a rice cooker that is not only reliable but works well. This Hamilton Beach 16 Cup Premium Rice Cooker is that plus so much more! It does an excellent job of cooking rice, both white and brown, but it doesn't stop there. You can also use it to steam meat and veggies. I love the large steamer basket that is included. I can cook rice and veggies at the same time. Works great for hot cereal such as oatmeal. But wait, there's more. It also saute's and slow cooks. The digital countdown timer is large and easy to read. This cooker also has an adjustable cooking timer, however not for cooking rice. The rice cooker part is pre set to cook rice for 30 minutes. At first I thought that was too long to cook rice, however after using this product multiple times, the rice comes out perfect. I also enjoy the keep warm feature. If you cook large quantities of rice this 16 cup cooker is perfect for your household. You can also make smaller amounts too, making it great for 1 or 2 people or a house full. Clean up is quick and easy. The interior cooking pot is non stick and easily comes clean with hot soapy water. I received this product free for testing purposes. All opinions are mine alone based on my actual use of the product.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Nice looking 16 cup rice cooker with a digital timer. Makes perfect rice every time. It's also a slow cooker and steamer too. Has so many things it can do and I'm eager to try out the many things it's capable of doing. Well worth it's price and would recommend to everyone.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love my rice cooker! It is easy to use and easy to clean. It can do so much more than just cook rice. It comes with a steaming basket for steaming but it also works as a slow cooker. Amazing cooker that I love having in my kitchen.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was very excited to have the opportunity to review and try out the Hamilton Beach Premium Rice Cooker and multi function cooker. Since I have never owned a rice cooker this was something that I was looking forward to using in my kitchen to make perfect rice and to also steam vegetables for quick dinner meals. Upon receiving the unit we unpacked it and looked for the instruction manual thinking it would have a complete user guide and recipe book on on how to use all of the functions of this premium cooker. To my surprise the instructions were vague and left a lot of guess work on how to use some of the functions of the unit and I would have expected more from such a great device. If you are making rice this unit will work perfectly and the instructions on using this feature are easy to understand. The rice came out perfectly and my family said it was the best rice they have had since I was never a pro at making rice on the stove top. That being said the other functions involve trial and error to get items to turn out correctly. Next we tried to steam vegetables to have with another dinner meal and it was a disaster. Individually we tried steaming different vegetables including broccoli, carrots and also asparagus and each time the food was either over cooked and mushy or under done and crispy. This is where the instructions could have given guide lines on how much water/vegetables to use and also the amount of time needed to steam different types vegetables. Next trial was to make breakfast and we tried plain oats and also steel cut oats. Again the instruction manual with cooking guidelines would have been a huge plus for this function as well but it was also trial and error. The regular oats and steel cut oats either came out over cooked or not cooked enough, and we tried following the instructions on the package and then converting the measurements to use in the rice cooker with no luck. After looking on line at other manufactures rice cooker products we were able to get the Hamilton Beach premium rice cooker to make a perfect batch of steel cut oats. By using the rice cooking function and following the cooking instructions as if we were making a manual batch of oats on the stove top we used the same quantities of steel cut oats and water in the rice cooker and the result was a perfect batch of steel cut oats. The last thing we tested was the slow cooker function since we use a slow cooker all of the time to make meals when we are at work to have ready for dinner when we get home. This function worked fine as long as you were home and were able to watch the unit to adjust the times as needed to cook properly. The addition of different cooking times on the low and high setting would be a great help since not everything cooks in either 2 or 4 hours especially when you are cooking food unattended or need to vary the time. The Hamilton Beach premium rice cooker has a hug potential and if you are willing to experiment to figure out how to use the different features then you will not be disappointed with the results, but it will be a lot of trial and error. There is no recipe support on the Hamilton Beach website for cooking with this unit but if you check other manufactures similar products on line you can find lots of great recipes that can be adapted to work with this product. In conclusion, a better manual and cooking recipes included with the unit would help people get the most out of this great product.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is not only a rice cooker but it has settings for hot cereal and steaming basket. I'm not super happy with the coating of the pot, I was hoping for a stainless but the functionality won me over. Another great feature compared to my old cooker are handles on the pot itself for removal.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm constantly trying to find ways (and appliances) that will help me eat healthier. The real task is finding things that can make it easy to quickly get something going without a lot of fuss. First off, this Hamilton Beach rice cooker does cook perfect rice each and every time (both white and brown), with the touch of a button-set and walk away. That's a great base and I can make plenty enough for a bunch of meals. What I really love is the versatility of this product, so much I can do in one single "pot" as it's actually a multi-cooker. The steaming basket is large (not like the very small, limited baskets you usually get)-you can steam a LOT of veggies and meat or fish with room to spare. I'm going to work on getting it all going so I get a complete meal with very little to clean up. I've also used the sautee function and even cooked some packaged products easily and I know I'm going to love the grains/cereal settings to get my workouts going with the perfect steel cut oats. I'm just getting started, but I love having a product like this that can do so many things and help me kickstart getting less processed foods into my diet with ease.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] When I steamed my potatoes there was a very small screw that's fell into food that was steamed . I am sure glad that I saw it before any of my family ate it. What should I do ?

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this rice cooker,great quality and include the steamer which is very helpful to me because i can steam vegetables together while cooking rice,and the size is big enough for the whole family,I like that there's different functionality to satisfies everyday use!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I wasn't sure at first about the rice cooker but after I used it to make some rice I knew I made the right choice. The rice came out so fluffy and was so easy to make. No messy cleanup either one nonstick pot and the provided rice paddle made cleanup quick and easy and everyone loved the rice! I am anxious to make oatmeal using the slow cooker function. I really am happy with the clean, compact design, ease of use and other uses of the cooker.
