Rice cooker

The name says it all, a rice cooker is used to cook rice. A rice cooker is an electric household appliance, so it makes it easy to cook rice. All you have to do is add your rice and water to the pan and turn it on. The rice cooker then cooks the rice in the water, until the rice reaches the right boiling point. That way, after a few minutes, you have perfectly cooked rice that you can serve right away! At Cookinglife you will find various rice cookers from leading brands, such as: Le Creuset, Crockpot, Cuisinart and Jospeh Joseph.

How does a rice cooker work?

A rice cooker works very simply. You add your rice and water to the pan, and set it to boil. When your rice is cooked, the rice cooker automatically jumps to the keep warm function. Let your rice rest for a few more minutes and stir the rice before serving. Cooking the perfect rice yourself is still quite a tricky job, but with a rice cooker, this is remedied. Your rice cooker will cook the rice for you by heating the water inside.

How much water in the rice cooker?

A rule of thumb for how much water to add is, one fingertip of water above the rice. This can vary slightly by type of rice. For sticky rice, add a little more water. For soft rice, add a little less water. Are you cooking brown rice? If so, use more water. You can also easily cook sushi rice in the rice cooker, and put delicious sushi on the table. Be sure to check out our cookbooks on how to do that!

Why a rice cooker?

A rice cooker works easily and simply. You put the perfect rice on the table in no time. Any type of rice can be used in a rice cooker. The biggest plus of a rice cooker is that you can always serve perfectly cooked rice! Your rice no longer boils over and you no longer have to use a hot pan. So you don't have to keep an eye on your rice or be difficult to drain your rice. So you never have to worry about overcooking rice again!

What to look out for when buying a rice cooker

Would you like to buy a rice cooker, but have no idea what to look for? No worries. We have created a handy overview of points to look out for in order to buy the most suitable rice cooker.

• Contents: Content is an important point to start with. After all, how many people will you be cooking rice for? Map out how many servings of rice you typically cook and choose a rice cooker that has a capacity to match. The product information often shows how many servings of rice the rice cooker can cook.
• Electric or heat source: some rice cookers are electric and other variants you put on a heat source to cook the rice. If you choose a heat-source rice cooker, pay close attention to which heat sources they are suitable for and whether this matches the heat source you are cooking on.
• Non-stick coating: Does the pan have a non-stick coating? If so, you will prevent your pan from caking with rice and it will save you a lot of cleaning.
• Removable inner pan: the dishes you will unfortunately still have to do yourself. If the rice cooker has a removable inner pan, then washing the pan becomes a lot easier. If you like convenience then a rice cooker with a removable inner pan is ideal.
• Automatic turn-off: Rice cookers that feature an automatic shut-off that stop cooking as soon as the food is ready. While the cooker is cooking your rice you can leave with peace of mind.
