We have had this rice cooker for about 1-2 years now and I love it! We previously had a steamer which could steam vegetables and all sorts but we only really used it to steam rice. This rice cooker is much smaller and fits better into the fairly small kitchen I have. The max amount of rice it can cook is about 8-10 cups but ...  Read the complete review

So, I was really pleased when my mum bought me a rice cooker to make things simple . My ...  Read the complete review

After my much-loved Kenwood rice cooker packed up, I was cautious about replacing it. Cheap, capable of producing perfect rice, but sadly out of production, could it be replaced? Well, the Cookworks model was the cheapest model I found on the high street and it's proved to be a good buy over the months. One of its best ...  Read the complete review

The Cookworks Rice cooker ...  Read the complete review

OK I know that rice cookers aren't necessarily a 'must have' item in everyone's kitchen but to be honest I'd be lost without mine because the whole family loves rice & it saves me so much time & mess. I cook a lot of stir-fries, Middle Eastern food, chilli & plenty of curries so I need to cook the perfect ...  Read the complete review

We do love our curry, chilli con carne and lots of other rice dishes in our house, so I don't quite know how it has taken me 3 years to invest in a rice cooker for my kitchen! I've insisted on using a saucepan and boiling water, which always ends up making a rice mess of my lovely halogen hob, but still I could not be swayed. Upon the ...  Read the complete review

Ok I read reviews on one of these Rice cookers before buying one thinking it was just the job for cooking perfect rice, which lets face it can be a nightmare.

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 ...  Read the complete review

I always thought that rice cookers are gimmick white goods. I think cooking rice in normal pot is already one of the easiest thing. I got cookworks rice cooker as a gift. Lookwise it looks descent, with white outer shell and gray lightweight alluminium rice bowl. The first impression was very good. We put rice and ...  Read the complete review

INTRODUCTION Due to a bit of Christmas net shopping, I had a £10 gift voucher from Argos burning a hole in my pocket and needing to be used by February.

Without my rice cooker I wouldn't eat rice at home. It's as simple as that. I suck at cooking rice and I hear a lot of other people do too - when I used to try my hardest to make it at university it was always too sticky, too wet, too dry - I had to resort to boil in the bag. Then, in my final year, I was staying with a ...  Read the complete review
