Macook 0.6L Rice Cooker Small 300W, Multifunctional Mini Rice Cooker

This is a great, low cost, no frills rice cooker, no settings to worry about, no electronics to go wrong (it's all done with magnets!). I cook rice in it a couple of times a week, my wife cooks quinoa in it about as often, I'll occasionally make porridge with it and every two or three weeks I'll do a delicious chorizo and prawn jambalaya in it. It handles everything perfectly, the rice is well cooked and fluffy and the non-stick surface is good quality making washing up an absolute breeze. It's the perfect size for one or two, able to cook little enough or more than enough for two or more if you have guests or want extra rice (for example to make a stir fry next day. There's two things that would make this even better, in my opinion, one is a few sample recipes for people starting out with it, and the second is a steamer basket, I've bought one separately but it wasn't quite the right size so I've had to 3D print an adaptor ring. (If anyone's interested, I make my jambalaya by heating up a little chorizo sausage in a small frying pan until it gives off it's oil, then frying off onions peppers and garlic in the oil toasting some Cajun seasoning and then adding a tablespoon of tomato puree and mixing. This is then transferred to the rice cooker with washed long grain rice and some frozen peas or sweetcorn, I use cooled chicken stock instead of water (1 1/2 times the rice by volume) and a pinch of salt. Mix well then cook as normal - ie press the button and wait! - once it's finished cooking stir in the prawns and leave it on warm for 10 minutes. Make sure everything, especially the prawns, is cooked through before eating and follow this recipe at your own risk, it's how I cook it but I take no responsibility for anyone else's results following it!)

I genuinely love my Macook Mini Rice Cooker. It’s one of those kitchen appliances that you don’t realise you need until you start using it all the time. The size is perfect for smaller meals, and it fits so nicely in the kitchen without taking up loads of space. It’s ideal if you live alone, as a couple, or just don’t want a huge bulky rice cooker sitting on the counter. What I like most is how simple it is to use. You literally just add everything in, press the button, and let it do its thing. The rice comes out really good, fluffy, and evenly cooked without any effort. I’ve also used it for other things like noodles and simple meals, which makes it even more useful. The keep warm function is also really handy because it keeps the food ready without drying it out. Cleaning it is easy too thanks to the non-stick pot, which honestly saves so much hassle. Overall, I’m really impressed with it. Compact, convenient, easy to use, and perfect for everyday cooking. It’s become one of my favourite little kitchen gadgets.

Fantastic little rice maker. I usually cooked the rice by the absorption method on top of the stove. My daughter used one while on a visit and I was converted. I looked for the best one at a good price and this came up trumps. Extremely easy to use. Big enough for 2 people. UPDATE!!!!! It's stopped working after just 6 months!!!. I can't find a way of contacting anyone to get a repair or replacement.

Great rice cooker! Makes lovely fluffy rice with so little effort. Just the right size for 1 or 2 people but can make enough for 4 (depends on your portion sizes) when we have guests. Bought our first one of these 2 years and 3 months ago, used it several times a week and it just got a little hole in the bowl. After considering upgrading to fancier rice cookers, we decided to stick with this one as it's so easy to use and clean and we'll never be faffing with cooking porridge or cakes or 4 course meals in our rice cooker. We'll be hand washing the bowl and not washing our rice in the bowl with this new one to see if we can get it to last a bit longer, but you can buy 4 of these for the same price as that fancier rice cooker you've seen on all the reviews.

Like so many other reviewers have said - mine stopped working after 3 months. The thing will simply not switch on. I only used it about 10 times and it was good quality for the price. I wish I’d listened to the reviews. Please listen to mine - and avoid.

Very surprised as to how well this works! Pop in water pop in rice and wait! Hassle free. Perfect for a small family. Easy to clean.

I decided to buy a ‘cheap & cheerful’ rice cooker to a) see if i’d actually use it and b) if they are any good, before splashing out on an expensive brand. I’ll probably stick with this one! It’s compact, attractive and far better quality than I expected. I cooked WAY too much rice the first time, filling the measuring pot for three people. I know better now. It’s very easy to use. Some like a 1:1 equal measure of rice to water - Macook recommends 1:1.2. I’d say try it and see, it depends on the rice. We are using Japanese short grain rice & Thai sticky rice and have done both ratios. I think the 1:1.2 was better in some ways as the rice wasn’t stuck together too much. It has a good capacity, a full pot (first use, too much) was more than 6 portions - for us anyhow. Wash out the pot. Rinse you rice til it runs clear. Put your measured amount into the pot followed by the water and switch on. It really is that easy. It will automatically switch from “cook” mode to “warm” mode and keep the rice at a good temperature. We steamed asparagus in the rack on top whilst cooking the rice and it was perfect. It’s a great rice cooker and looks very robust, durable. I expect to see a lit of use from this.

I bought this because the pictures looked amazing, it cooks rice, vegetables, oats sings and dances well it doesn't may be it should be four star. But at 19.99 it was the most reasonable and it cooks lovely porridge, rice pudding. It did flip from cook to warm when I wasn't looking pleased about that. NO COOK BOOK honestly you would think they could have at least provided a cook book or a link to a page where they have recipes. I am sure it cooks vegetables fine, but so does a pan. No it doesn't sing or dance, it doesn't have a timer, make sure you turn it off at the wall and its off because it won't turn off. It gets hot, the pan is metal so it heats up fast and please use a cloth towel to hold it. Cleans well, don't use abrasives. 40g of Oats to 200ml of Liquid 6 minutes porridge. 40g Rice to 200ml of Liquid 20 - 30 minutes watch constantly, you can add vegetables and herbs, thyme, oregano, spices to taste 40g Pudding Rice to 50/50 milk water about 200ml, a little honey about 15ml, a little nob of butter, about 20 -30 minutes creamy or al dente rice pudding, its nice with fruit 40g of Rice to 200ml of liquid I added two eggs and you might need water too, because you get your rice soft first, then add the egg liquid its too much for one person. Have not tried noodles, but it should be okay. I don't know if you can melt cheese in this thing?

I find the "keep warm" feature annoying because you can't walk away and leave it. You can't turn off this feature.

Arrived on time with good packing. All the items shown in the product details are present. Used it for cooking brown rice. On the first day tried without cooking plate. Rice was cooked ok, but bottom layer went brown. Subsequently used cooking plate and now the rice cooked well. Vegitables also cooked well. However if we cook rice in the bowl and vegitables in the vegetable boiler, the water from vegitables may drop into the rice and impart that taste to rice. Overall happy with its performance till now (using since 1 week). No hesitation to recommend to others.

Working well
