Pros :

Grateful I purchased this one!

I really desired a compact-sized grain pot but this one came so strongly suggested I made a decision to try it. The features are great and it creates amazing white grain. I found it creates 1 cup of grain completely if you use 1&1/4 glasses of water so now I can make a little bit or a lot based on the problem. I love the automated heating function.

Cons :

Unreliable and messy

I had fun playing with the settings but just couldn’t get the results I was after. It’s not extremely precise. The grains were often still too crispy, even after increasing the amount of water. Maybe it’s just not designed for brownish grain.

It also has a major flaw. The steam comes out the top and drains all together with the oven making it difficult to clean.

More than a rice cooker

From breakfast to dinner, the Hamilton Beach Rice/Hot Cereal Cooker lets you cook a variety of foods effortlessly. Cook grains, hot cereals or even your favorite packaged rice mix without having to boil water or set a timer. All you have to do is place the ingredients in the nonstick pot, turn it on, select the setting and let everything cook to perfection. Use the included 2-in-1 basket to rinse rice or grains ahead of cooking or use it to steam everything from salmon to zucchini. The delay start lets you plan ahead and have your meal ready when you want it. The cooker automatically shifts to Warm once the cooking cycle is complete.

Rinsing rice before cooking helps prevent clumping and creates a fresh taste. Now it’s simple to do with the included steam basket that doubles as a rice rinser.

Wake up to a warm pot of hearty oatmeal or come home after work to a simmering soup. The Delay Start feature lets you program cooking up to 11 hours in advance. Use the Keep Warm setting to ensure your dish stays at the right temperature until you’re ready to serve it.

Six different settings take the guesswork out of cooking. Choose from White Rice, Whole Grain, Heat/Simmer, Steam Cook and Hot Cereals.

Make dinner in one cooking cycle. Steam seafood, poultry, or vegetables in the steam basket while the rice cooks. Or use the Heat/Simmer setting to make your own soups, beans, or flavored pasta mixes.
