Advantages: cheap

Disadvantages: Pot does scratched easily if scrubbed

I have been using a japanese rice cooker all my life. They are amazing in that they can steam cakes, make porridge, cook rice and even stews. As a poor student, I could only afford the Cookworks Rice Cooker once I moved to the United Kingdom to study. I had to leave my japanese rice cooker and all its function behind.

This rice cooker is basic with the standard Keep Warm function. As with any other rice cooker, just put in the rice, water, plug the cooker to the socket and press down the button in front to cook. It does cook rice although I would recommend just using it to cook rice. The metal pot does scratch easily which means that if you use it to cook stew or to cook porridge, you would be washing it harder and therefore, more likely to scratch the pot when washing. When using purely to cook rice, just rinse it in hot water and rub gently with your hands. Otherwise, the rice cooker pot would lose it non-stick function and you would have to watch the rice cooker to ensure that the rice is not sticking.

I would say that it is good quality for its price but just keep in mind that it is really meant for cooking rice only.
