Excellent Rice Cooker [Posted on 2008-01-28]
I bought this rice cooker a week ago and can't stop using it. So far I have made the best brown rice that I have tasted in my home. We have also been using this machine to make Biryani (which came out excellent), steel-cut oatmeal with blueberries, and chicken soup.

If you need a machine that can make a wide variety of slow cooked foods, as well as excellent rice, then I highly recommend this machine.

An awesome product ! [Posted on 2008-04-12]
Not normally one to write reviews, this is one time I felt compelled to put my two cents in. I thoroughly researched slow cookers and rice makers before deciding on the Sanyo ECJ-HC100S. I must say that this cooker is the smartest thing I've purchased in a very long time -- a great concept, nicely designed and very well made. It is incredibly easy to use and the heavy duty, non-stick bowls (not one, but two!) and lids are easy to clean. It's sleek and good-looking as well as nice and compact, considering its large capacity -- not bulky or cumbersome like most of the crockpot-type slow cookers out there. And what's better than having two products in one?!

The first thing I used it for was brown basmati rice, which I have never been able to successfully cook on the stovetop. I couldn't have been happier with the result; it was cooked to perfection as was every other type of rice that I've made since then. Just use the cup provided to measure out the rice and then add water to the appropriate line shown inside the bowl and you can't go wrong. Even porridge and steelcut oats come out perfect every time.

For me, the drawback to crockery cooking has always been the need to brown meat in a seperate pan on the stovetop. However, the Sanyo slow cooking bowl is metal with a non-stick interior and has both a high and low setting for slow cooking. Therefore, you can start out using the high setting to brown the meat and then add the rest of your ingredients and switch to low for the rest of the cooking process. A beautiful thing!

So far this item is worth every penny I paid for it. I found the best price online at Bed, Bath & Beyond. Sweeter yet, because I placed my order in person at my local BB&B store, they even accepted my store coupon for 20% off!

Hats off to Sanyo for a great product all around!

I feel very satisfy with this! [Posted on 2008-07-07]
At the beginning I read some of the reviews and I was afraid of it will have that chemical smell, but after I used it, it did have any chemical smell come out after the rice was done. So, basically I like this product and it works just fine with my family.

Incredible!!!!!!!!! [Posted on 2008-07-25]
I love my new toy!
I'm eating like a king and in most cases healthier than ever.
This baby can cook almost anything and it'll take years to enjoy all the possibilities. I'm so glad I waited to buy a slow cooker and found this rice cooker, slow cooker combo. It's easy to switch between the two and cleanup is a breeze. I don't understand why it wasn't designed for normal cups instead of the rice cup but I'll get used to that minor annoyance which is a small price to pay for such an incredible machine.

Perfect kitchen appliance [Posted on 2008-08-12]
I love this handy kitchen helper. I originally bought it for the timer on the rice cooker and slow cooker capabilities - after all, with limited kitchen space, it's always better to have appliances that combine several capabilities into one. So I have since gotten rid of my old fashion slower cooker and use this for stews, soups and rice "congee". Since I bought this cooker, I have since had a baby who is now eating steamed food. So I now find this cooker indispensable for steaming all my baby's veggies and fruits. I use it every day for steaming baby food, cooking rice and I even tried making the bread pudding. I'm always raving about this cooker, it is really the most useful appliance in my kitchen. Also love the 2 different cooking pots: 1 for rice and the other for everything else. Highly recommend this cooker.
