Summary: Great rice steamer, especially the price
Comment: My neighborhood Chinese restaurant makes fabulous brown rice, so I asked her secret. Always steam, never boil was the answer.
So based on the reviews here - and my budget - I ordered the Joyce Chen microwave rice steamer (with Amazon free shipping!). So far, so good.
My brown rice, store brand, took 25 minutes and an extra 3/4 cup of water to really soften up. But was delicious. I was surprised though that the directions called for hot TAP water. Haven't we been told lately NOT to use that for cooking or drinking?
Can't wait to try steaming veggies! (BTW I have a 1250 Panasonic.)

Summary: Love this product
Comment: I was looking for a rice cooker, but found much more. I love baking potatoes in it and steaming fresh vegatables.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Best rice ever
Comment: This rice cooker is great, even when using other liquids besides water,(i.e.broth)quick and easy for small or large portions. Steams fresh veggies without stains and cleans up easily in the dishwasher.Good value!

Summary: Spuds n' Garlic (And popping corn experience)
Comment: This is the first microwave steamer I've tried that works really, really well. As with all other microwave cooking, one has to adjust recipe timing to the wattage of the microwave, and water has to be measured carefully - a good kitchen scale, measuring cup, and calculator are essential microwave accessories. That being said, it does a dynamite job on steaming whole potatoes - and the other day on a whim I threw in a handful of unpeeled fresh garlic cloves with the potatoes. The garlic came out with the nutty mild flavor and soft texture of absolutely perfectly roasted garlic, without the usual fuss.
With regard to popcorn, this gizmo works well within limits, and probably only with carousel type ovens* - fill with kernels only flush with the edge of the bottom cone and stop cooking after 2 minutes** on high or when the popped kernels reach the lid - not a second longer! REMOVE the popped kernels from the steamer and from the oven - you can nuke the remaining 'orphans' an additional 2 minutes** to get a pretty good total yield - but the 'rerun' batch of kernels will be a bit smaller, chewier and more well-done than the first run. Do not try to nuke any remaining orphans a third time - they will scorch and burn.
* With the benefit of many, many tests, I've found it best to place the steamer off-center on the rotating carousel before popping corn - the eccentric position (and moving hot spots in the kernel pile?) seem to help 'stir' the kernels - as long as they keep moving (a lot!), the popped kernels scorch much less readily.
**This is for a 1200 watt Kenmore - your time may need to be adjusted.

Summary: Good product
Comment: Useful gadget, especially for young cooks. Easy to use and clean, less messy than traditional stove-top pan.
