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

 Rice Cooker Overflow Problems January 31, 2008
Joseph J. Oswald
I don't know what I am doing wrong. Cuisinart wasn't much help. When cooking only 2 cups of rice in 2 cups of water and after washing the rice, my cooker still overflows, making my counter a mess. Also, the rice is lumpy and looks like I could make sushi with it. It cooks for so long--I timed the cooker at 30 minutes before warm came on. This is second one. I traded the first one because I was told the heating element might be bad--but the second one does the same thing. I thought rice cookers were great--doesn't anyone know of a "great" one! Very disappointed in this concept--I cook rice better on the stove but I thought this would be a help. Do manufacturers actually test market their products--if so, they must know a secret that I don't!
 The instructions are wrong January 26, 2008

After purchasing this unit, I too had spill over at very low water rice levels. I realized that this is the same problem one would get,using even medium heat to cook grits, or rice in a regular pot.......
(If you leave the top of the pot down tight.)
There is no way, because of the high heat setting of this unit, that the glass lid supplied can be used to completely cover the cooking pot, even though the instruction book indicates so.. The hole would have to be much larger to allow steam to escape.
The temperature setting of the heating dictates the designer set it high to allow the use of the steaming attachment, using a high boiling point
The steam will push the oxygen mols from the pot causing a very low barometric air pressure.
With this the bubbles generated by the boiling rice water will have almost no air pressure to keep them low or at minimum.{ they expand greaty), Thus foaming out the sides of the pot.
Even though I could not find in the instruction that the glass top would not work if it was used to completely cover the cooker top while cooking, the picture on the box was a clue.
The picture shows the steamer unit sitting in place, with the glass lid on top.
Using the steamer attachment, 2 measures of rice using plastic, and 2 1/3 cups of water using a measuring cup, I started the unit.
A few bubbles and steam came up through the bottom of the steamer, for a while, and than decreased. ( no boil over ). Once the temperature in the unit exceeded 220 degrees ( all water boiled off) : the unit went into stand-by.
Perfectly cooked rice. Every time
I use the steamer unit, even if I not even steaming vegetable or etc. No boil over. It has many holes in it to allow steam excapement with out
boil over. Caution........... The steamer tray gets as hot as the steam generated in the cooking process.
Do not touch the steamer tray attachment with-out waiting for it to cool, and keep this unit well away from the reach of children, or uncovered,
un-protected hands. In this cooling time the "laden" heat in the left over steam can return to the rice, and complete the cooking cycle.
If the water is allowed to boil out, burnt rice at the bottom.
The directions are in error, Check it out, Happy riceing
