The Good

Cheapest reputable (i.e. japanese/korean) brand fuzzy logic rice cooker on the market. Sanyo had a slightly cheaper one going at $65, but I was dubious about the complaints regarding lead on the power cord. Also i believe the sanyo didn’t have the slow cooker function.
Makes excellent rice! this is fuzzy logic, so it takes twice the time (around an hour), but with the timer, I’m more than happy to set it and go do other things, and come back to excellent rice. I cook mainly japanese short grain, and this does an excellent job. I recently tried cooking rice with vegetables in the cooker, and that came out beautifully too. Pretty much the usual fuzzy logic standard of rice you’re used to if you’re asian like I am =)
Has a timer, slow cooker, and steamer function. Also does brown rice.
Good size for a one person apartment.
Heaven to clean – the non stick pot and perfect rice make it really really easy to clean that pot.

The Bad

The manual states that when steaming food you’re not supposed to be cooking other things. I think it might be possible to cook a little plain rice and steam a small piece of fish on top, but have yet to try it.
No actual clock function, just a timer, but still better than nothing.
Slightly more items to clean – i.e. there’s the pot, and the little inner lid thing you’ll have to wash. But like i mentioned earlier, the fact that it’s non-stick and that it doesn’t burn the rice means it’s really just a matter of rinsing in soapy water.

Really Great!, January 30, 2010

Amazon Verified Purchase(What’s this?)

This review is from: Panasonic SR-DE102 Fuzzy-Logic 5-Cup Electronic Rice Cooker/Warmer,White (Kitchen)

My first inclination when my fiance said he wanted a nice rice cooker with fuzzy logic like this was to ask, “what the heck does anyone need with a rice cooker?!”

Well, having this has really changed my mind. The rice is perfect. Every time. Got some stuff to add in to the rice? Fine, dump it in at the beginning. The cooker still cooks it perfectly. Spanish rice? No problem. Just put a can of V8, some salsa, and some butter in, fill to the line with water the rest of the way, and press ’start.’ Rice to go with Indonesian, Thai, or Indian food? Put in some Turmeric and Coriander and there it is, fragrant and inviting. Brown rice, long grain, jasmine or basmati, it figures out exactly what to do. It also steams vegetables and other things. It does all the thinking for you about how long to cook it.

Oh yes, and cleanup? A snap. If you just cook rice, just rinse out the bowl. It’s got a really nice, high-quality teflon bowl so the scraps come out like *that*. Cooked something more complicated? The bowl is also top-shelf dishwasher safe. So easy.

Perfect rice, every time. I love my new rice cooker.

Excels in Brown Rice!, October 19, 2009

This review is from: Panasonic SR-DE102 Fuzzy-Logic 5-Cup Electronic Rice Cooker/Warmer,White (Kitchen)

Not much to say, it’s a rice cooker that makes brown rice come out perfect! Not hard like most restaurants and not mushy, just perfect. I use one of Trader Joes two main brown rice’s. Fast and easy. The Fuzzy logic is a must have. $ Paid . from Frys.

Very good quality product from Panasonic. Price is very good as I compare to a local store here. I have got it for two days and have tried cooking rice and porridges. Very easy to use. You can cook from 1 cup to 5 cup, so good for a small family. Highly recommended.
