Oster 4715 Multi-Use 10-Cup Rice Cooker and Food Steamer


This review is from: Oster 4715 Multi-Use 10-Cup Rice Cooker and Food SteamerWe received this rice cooker as a Christmas gift and replacement for one broken on our move back from Korea. Immediately, we had issues. I found it almost impossible to make decent, wet or sticky rice without burning the bottom. The warmer feature always burned the bottom, making it useless. After a month or so, the seal on the lid broke, unexplainably, and we had to jury rig it to make it work. Finally, in May, the whole thing just quit working one night. We make a lot of rice and maybe this thing wasn't meant for every or every other day use. I don't know, but I do not recommend it!...This review is from: Oster 4715 Multi-Use 10-Cup Rice Cooker and Food SteamerI received this cooker as a wedding present, and I couldn't be more disappointed with it. This cooker will FRY TO HELL any rice you cook in it. Period. I tried putting the recommended 2.5-1 ratio of water to rice, and the rice got burned. I even tried using a 4-1 ratio, and it still burned. I am not surprised at all to see the entire Oster line of rice cookers loaded with bad reviews. Even though we got this as a gift, I still feel ripped off. Do your research on rice cookers and stay FAR away from anything with the "Oster" name attached....This review is from: Oster 4715 Multi-Use 10-Cup Rice Cooker and Food SteamerThis rice cooker has no fancy feature but it has worked well for us. We bought ours from Macy over three years ago. The non-stick coating is beginning to wear thin. But that is not surprising since we use it every single day. We use the measuring cup that comes with it to measure the rice (good quality Chinese, Japanese, or Korean rice, no Uncle Ben) and put in water according to the marking in the pot. We get good rice every time. It is true that if we leave it at "warm" for a while, a thick hard crust would form at the bottom. But for us, we usually unplug it as soon as it finishes cooking so this rarely happens. When it does, we would take whatever above it and pour in half a cup of water. The crust comes off easily after 15 minutes or so and it is still pretty good for eating. :-)...
