Cuisinart CRC-800 8-Cup Rice Cooker
Amazon.com Review
Healthy cooking and sleek modern design meld in this rice cooker from Cuisinart. Finished in a handsome brushed stainless steel, the square cooker features rounded corners, chrome-plated handles, and a glass lid with a stainless rim, chrome knob, and steam vent hole. Inside you’ll find a high-quality, stainless-steel steaming basket and a nonstick cooking bowl that produces 8 to 15 cups of rice. The cooker also steams vegetables and thin cuts of meat, creating a complete, fat-free meal with little effort. Besides various types of rice, the cooker cooks couscous, polenta, oatmeal, boiled eggs, shrimp, and much more. An included booklet presents gourmet recipes for such mouth-watering meals as Creamy Parmesan Risotto with Asparagus, and Teriyaki Steamed Chicken with Cranberry Wild Rice. Cuisinart gives this upscale rice cooker extra panache with a cord that pulls out and then retracts for storage. One lever is all that’s required to flip the machine on. Two different colored LED lights illuminate, one during the cooking phase, and the other when the machine automatically switches to warm when cooking is done. Included with the machine are a textured plastic paddle for stirring and serving, and a plastic measuring cup calibrated specifically for rice. All the unit’s removable parts are dishwasher-safe. The cooker measures 9 by 9 by 10 inches, and is covered by a three-year warranty. –Ann Bieri

cuisinart 8 cup rice steamer
What a hell of a mess! The water and rice goop boils over and drips all over the outside of the steamer, and all over the counter!

Hate It!
I absolutely hate this product. We own several Cuisinart appliances and are quite happy with them, but this rice cooker is horrible. I have yet to cook a good pot of rice.

Keep Looking for Another Rice Cooker
I was so looking forward to fluffy rice, but I did not find it here! I used the included guidelines for cooking brown rice, and it came out so underdone.

Stay away if you don’t want to have to clean up boil over 70% of the time
Got into brown rice with a change to more macrobiotic diet. Bought Cuisinart because of the brand – assumed top of the line. This is the bottom line-it is poorly designed.

Update! Product directions are wrong!
Hubby purchased this as a gift for me. I wish he would have read the reviews. The rice it makes is fine, the mess it makes is completely unacceptable.

Fantastic value
This rice cooker is the best if you want no fuss. I previously owned a Panasonic (for double the money) with all the bells and whistles and 10 different settings and if you didn’t…
