Excellent product. Also on Amazon, or Pacific Mall. Cheers Tue Aug 26 19:18:11 -0700 2008 3988873 201877 BokChoi 1 3989774 Look into Zojirushi. Product range goes from basic to overkill in rice cookers. All are superb. Tue Aug 26 19:49:49 -0700 2008 3988873 16382 Kagemusha 2 3990201 Overkill... like their stainless steel model for $350? Pretty to look at, but come on, it's just rice! Wed Aug 27 01:27:20 -0700 2008 3989774 64010 Royaljelly 3 3990264 No need to pay that much. You can get a great Zojirushi for less than half that. I also have a Zoji hot water pot and love it. Wed Aug 27 03:19:41 -0700 2008 3990201 83766 brendastarlet 1 3990472 Funny, I was just researching rice cookers myself, and although I am planning to get a Zojirushi, I am sure that some of the Asian stores that carry them may also carry Sanyo, so you can call to check: Korean Central Market, 675 Bloor St. West Tel: (416) 516-3966 Mei King Company, 337 Broadview Ave. Tel: (416) 463-0442 Sanko Trading Company, 730 Queen Street West Tel: (416) 703-4550 Tap Phong Trading Company, 360 Spadina Ave. Tel: (416) 977-6364 Tiger Electro Utensil Centre, 311 Spadina Ave., Toronto, ON Tel: (416) 340-1986 and also, you can check with Ashley's: William Ashley LTD., 55 Bloor st .W.

Wed Aug 27 16:38:40 -0700 2008 3990472 16382 Kagemusha 3 3992920 Thanks Kagemusha - I may just take a drive out there and check it out! (I've also always wanted one of their very cool portable bento box thingies...but I digress!) Wed Aug 27 20:08:52 -0700 2008 3992455 42844 MichelinStarChaser 4 3993011 I have a "Rival" rice cooker I bought 14 years ago and paid about $30. Today it would probably cost less. It is smallish and is not Teflon coated. I have likely made 900-1000 batches of rice. I like it because the cord, measuring cup and steamer store inside the unit and I can take it out of the cupboard with one hand! I am told the Teflon jobs are easier to clean but I don't like Teflon much and find cleaning easy if you just soak the bowl with soapy water for an hour. Buy something cheap, simple and not too big, use it for a while and experiment to see if you like it. One of our favourite sides from the cooker is rice, chicken stock instead of water, frozen peas, diced fresh carrot, tsp. curry powder and tbs. butter. Flip the switch. It will be ready in 5 minutes and hold beautifully for an hour. Wed Aug 27 20:54:26 -0700 2008 3992920 191863 garlicandwingnut 5 4050797 I have a Rival, teflon, from a sale table ($20). Performs flawlessly. Sun Sep 21 07:23:29 -0700 2008 3993011 56131 jayt90 5 4052282 What kind of rice are you using that cooks in five minutes? My rice cooker (a National) works flawlessly, but it takes from 20 to 40 minutes, depending on the variety, to get finished rice. Mon Sep 22 06:19:49 -0700 2008 3993011 23411 embee 1 4051142 We've been using a no-name unit for 20 years. My wife bought it at one of the little electronic stores that are wedged in between restaurants in every Asian strip mall in Richmond Hill and Markham. As someone noted below, clean up consists of scooping today's rice out (for fried rice the next day), putting in some hot, soapy water, and waiting for an hour. Even a gweilo like me can make perfect rice. My mother-in-law taught me the "water to one knuckle above" technique, and it's always been just right. Save your money; you don't need a $350 rice cooker any more than you "need" a $70,000 car. Sun Sep 21 10:43:27 -0700 2008 3988873 48210 KevinB 2 4051965 "water to one knuckle above"... Wow...I remember learning that, at age 10 and had to compensate a little bit as I grew. Sun Sep 21 22:05:25 -0700 2008 4051142 150211 stv 3 4052275 I have stubby fingers, and they've stayed the same. Keeps things simple! Mon Sep 22 06:15:45 -0700 2008 4051965 48210 KevinB 1 4053399 Gort my sanyo at T&T Warden . Love it. eddy Mon Sep 22 16:29:00 -0700 2008 3988873 27449 eddy
