Question 1

Recently lot of steam coming out of the hole in the lid, cooker surroundings becoming very messy. Any ideas how to address this issue? Thanks

Accepted Answer

I never had the issue of the excessive foaming and spattering of the water until I changes my water system to soft water. This has caused lots of foaming and a big mess around the cooker. I now just rinse with faucet water then drain and use bottled water to cook. It sucks but has reduced the mess by a lot.

Question 2

where is rice cooker manufactured?

Accepted Answer

Japan. Very handy small cooker. Easy to use.

Question 3

Has anyone had a problem with the cooked rice getting dry after just a couple hours on "Keep Warm"?  And if so, how did you deal with this problem?

Accepted Answer

The lid is vented  and designed to release moisture. When water is heated it evaporates. So place a lid on the rice that isn’t vented to retain the moisture and  maintain the humidity in your bowl.  Or wrap the lid in cellophane preferable restaurant quality because it can handle up to 500* and sub zero temperatures. . This will essentially plug the hole and make more of a seal when you put the lid back on. This could be enough to maintain the humidity inside your cooker. Rice is a starch when you add water it will bloat. So you risk ending up with mushy rice and dry hard rice. Also fluff your rice with chopsticks or a fork, immediately after cooking completes, it will prevent the rice from drying in large chunks. Over fluffing rice will make it sticky and mushy

Question 4

What is the minimum amount,can it cook just one cup of rice (two cooked) ? I like the larger steamer size.

Accepted Answer

Yes, one cup of rice is fine. We might be able to cook only half of a cup but honestly I never tried it my self. The other answers are pretty much accurate. We can cook up to 6 cups and the quality is great, especially for the price. Whenever it's done cooking, make sure you either keep using the "keep warm" feature or just stir the rice up at the beginning so it wont' stick to the bottom and surrounding area of the cooking container. Enjoy!
