Dash Mini Rice Cooker Steamer with Removable Nonstick Pot, Keep Warm Function & Recipe Guide, 2 cups, for Soups, Stews, Grains & Oatmeal - White

Although this is labeled as a rice cooker and works fabulously as such (1.5 cups of rice makes enough for 3), I've also used it like a mini crockpot and cooked full meals for two. For example:- Buy a sushi making kit and together, you have an easy, affordable Family Sushi Night.- Add pre-cooked chicken to a cup of rice, add onion, garlic, and chicken bouillon to taste, and you have a quick chicken and rice dinner.- Make a small batch of bone broth by starting in cook mode and letting it stay in warm mode 12-24 hours (overnight to a day). Just make sure to check the water level and scoop off fat/foam as needed.This gadget is great for anyone who struggles with ADD, someone who is so busy they sometimes forget they need to cook or are cooking, parents who want to teach kids self-sufficiency, college students who want to make healthier food, older or injured individuals with limited mobility, and anyone who just wants good, fresh food without a lot of effort.It's so easy to use: there's only one button and once the food is done, it automatically switches to warm mode. There is no open flame so there's a lot less chance of disaster.You can also make soups, spaghetti, ramen, rehydrate dehydrated meals, and more at home and on the go using a portable power station in this little 200 watt rice cooker.

I bought this for my sister to take to college. I received one my first year and I use it all the time. It makes the perfect amount of rice for one person in about 20 min. It’s easy to use with fill lines inside the bowl and it comes with a measuring cup for the rice. Once you add everything all you have to do is push down on the switch and it’ll keep it warm until you’re ready to eat. Afterwards it’s super easy to wash you just pop out the bowl and wash it in the sink. You can also make soups and stews in it. It’s great value for the price and perfect for college meals when you might not have the time to cook or access to a stove. It also cooks very evenly and the rice is never undercooked.

Works great and fast. Able to make chicken soup, onion soup, lentil soup, so much. Convenient and does not take up too much space at all. Perfect for my office.

I recently purchased the DASH Mini Rice Cooker Steamer and overall, it works great for small meals. The removable nonstick pot is easy to clean, and the Keep Warm function is really convenient. It heats up quickly and does a great job cooking grains, oatmeal, and even small soups and stews.Pros:✔️ Compact & Easy to Store – Perfect for small kitchens or apartments.✔️ Simple to Use – The one-button operation makes it easy for anyone to use.✔️ Quick Cooking – Heats up fast and does a great job with grains and small meals.✔️ Nonstick Pot – Makes cleaning a breeze!✔️ Affordable – A great budget-friendly option for cooking small portions.Cons:➖ Too Small for Larger Meals – While it's great for 1-2 servings, it's too small if you’re cooking for more than that. It only makes about 2 servings, so I find it doesn't meet my needs when I need to cook for more people.➖ Limited Features – While it does its job well for smaller portions, it's not as versatile as larger rice cookers for bigger meals.Final Thoughts:This is a perfect mini cooker for individuals or small households, but it might not be the best option if you need to cook for more than two people. It's great for quick, small meals, and if you're looking for a compact option, this is a solid choice! Would be perfect for someone living alone or as a secondary cooker for small meals.

I was quite surprised on the efficiency for this item. But first, I MUST say, I can't cook!!!!! Really. But with the instructions, I cooked a PERFECT pot of rice. I makes a fair serving for one-two. It will even keep the rice warm which is a very handy/nice feature. I use it quite often for different rice-types w/o any errors! Clean-up is a breeze as this tiny pot stores almost anywhere. I keep mine in a small clear bag so that all of the parts are always in the same place when I need it. (MY FAULT: I bag the components for this pot because I like it & do not plan to buy another! So the baggies is needed when ricer components are coming out of the dishwasher. This ricer has a very small glass top that's easy to miss. The black inner container is so unassuming that it can be mistaken for a cup/bowl to be stored where no one will ever find it. The rice measuring cup is even smaller. So keep the parts together! It's well worth the effort.)
