CUCKOO CR-3032 30-Cup (Uncooked) / 60-Cup (Cooked) Large Capacity Commercial Rice Cooker & Warmer with Nonstick Inner Pot, Switch Press (Silver/Black)

I own two of the Zojirushi Commercial rice cookers but needed more production capability (cooked rice). I was relooking my options (the Zo is more than $400 for the 20 cup commercial). I found this Cuckoo model and did a bit of research. The Cuckoo brand is Korean and is considered to be a top of the line cooker.Pluses: Half the cost of the Zo Commercial cooker. 50% more production capacity than the Zo (30 cup vs 20 cup) per cycle.I bought one of these and used it for about 10 days (we do a 50 pound bag of rice every morning). Both Zo's plus the new Cuckoo helped. After a week, I ordered a second of these Cuckoos. (both of these together cost less than a third zo).I really now prefer the Cuckoos to the Zo's. For us, the capacity of the Cuckoo is perfect (max volume before the lift from the pot becomes too heavy). The fact that there is a third indicator light (shows cooking, steaming, and warming) rather that the two for the Zo (cook and warm) so you don't have to time your warming light to estimate steaming time. When the Cuckoo leaves steam and goes to warm, the rice is ready.I can't speak to longevity yet because the short time I have owned them. I can say they make perfect jasmine, basmati, and sushi style rice, and do it well.v/r rh

For a $200 rice cooker, this is perfect. Rice is cooked perfectly everytime

I have used this several times now in my restaraunt and it works very well

Was damaged upon arrival box and Rice cooker

Works really well and impressively fast rice cooker. Considering the amount of rice you can put in this is a work horse. Bit downside is when cooking little rice the temp is too hot and it makes rice turn slight yellow if you dont use the silicone provided. Immediately did the max amount of rice cooking test and worked like charm. Perfect for food drive. So fast!!

Update! Just bought another one 3/31/2023I own a food truck and I use this rice cooker back to back during my operation. I cook two 40 cup batches in a row. I have been using this one 5 days a week since May. Best investment I have ever made. I have even bought 2 for back up just in case something happens. Best rice cooker forcommercial use. We make sushi so I need a high quality and efficient cooker. This thing is amazing.

Easy to use. Big enough for a crowd. No stick liner for easy clean up. Very good price for the quality compared to other brands.

I have been using Tiger rice cookers for many years. They're good and last a long time. Tiger lacked a 30 cup rice cooker and I opted for this brand. I have been using it for 6 months and haven't had any issue. What I don't like is that the inner pan is expensive if you want another one. Might as well just shell out for another rice cooker and keep it as a backup.
