Krups FDH212 10-Cup Automatic Rice Cooker with Slow Cooker and Steamer
Amazon.com Review
Hats off to the designers of appliances that perform multiple functions! After all, what kitchen couldn’t benefit from more efficient use of limited space? The Krups FDH212 10-cup automatic rice cooker is also a slow cooker and a food steamer; select among those three modes and then, if necessary, set the time using the touch buttons on the control panel. The time counter shows remaining cooking time on a two-digit display. After cooking in any mode, the Krups rice cooker will shift to a keep-warm mode; the switch-over is noted by an orange indicator light on the control panel. In its most basic function, this rice cooker yields up to 20 cups of cooked rice. But it’s also useful for all the typical slow-cooker dishes; soups, stews, chili, etc. An enclosed booklet includes recipes that range from the home-style Yankee Pot Roast to the fancier Casablanca lamb and apricot stew, as well as including simple cooking instructions for rice. This is a lovely appliance, too–modern curves in gleaming stainless steel with high-gloss black lid and accents. The lacquer-black lid has a large, curved, stay-cool handle and a click-close lock with a gray release button. On the underside of the lid, a removable steam shield helps keep the scalding steam away from the lid and directs moisture back into the food. The deep nonstick cooking bowl is removable for easy cleaning; a sturdy black plastic steaming rack rests inside the bowl to suspend food above the water. One small but very considerate feature is a condensation collector; a channel running under the edge of the closed lid conducts condensation droplets to a small catch pocket on the side. A small plastic measuring cup and black plastic rice paddle (with attachable spoon rest) come with the cooker. To preserve the nonstick coating of the cooking bowl, use wooden, plastic, or rubber utensils. Vinegar–used in the cooking of short-grain sushi rice–may corrode the nonstick surface over time.

ok, but…
We received this as a wedding gift 4+ years ago and used it semi-regularly (3x/month). The cooking mechanism for rice is fine–we’ve successfully made all types of rice, polenta,…

whew!
I didn’t realize this was so-o-o big! Still figuring out how to get non-sticky rice, but then I was trying to do that via the stove also!

great rice, poor slow cooking ability
The rice cooker portion of this machine is great. The steamer is okay. The keep warm feature in all modes is also wonderful – whatever you prepare is ready when you need it to be…

design flaw????
Not very pleased with the performance of this rice cooker. The lid cracked after just 2 uses. It seems that the lid would get “hung up” on the hinge every time the lid was…

Lacking a few important features

THE BEST addition to my kitchen!
I cook a lot. I have done so for many years and have collected a small array of high-end essentials for making cooking a pleasure instead of a chore.

Disappointed
I ordered this for my brother and sister-in-law for Christmas. It arrived early because I wanted it there before the holiday rush. Good thing I did.
