Sounds like a good thing, let me know if you find a good deal on one, I've been considering another SC smaller for single meals etc, and a good excuse would be to buy a multi function. Think they are £50 ish on Amazon, just had a nosey.
Do you wash the rice before cooking it ? I always wash through a seive until the water runs clear or almost, usually stops the mess from cooking.One day I might be more organised...........

i have the tefal 3 in 1 too, and we have a separate rice cooker. i haven't used the tefal for rice because i use our slowcooker. it's a really basic one from IKEA - i've no idea if they still do them but it's nothing special and cooks decent rice with no effort!
i find the tefal thing a bit awkward because you can't set it to come on later in the day (so it won't be ready for when you come home unless it's been on all day) and because it's much more efficient than most slow cookers the 1 hour cooking increments don't give you much control. it's also hard to use receipes from books etc becasue the cooking times are always totally wrong. so don't worry about not picking that one! it's good, but it takes lots of time to work out how to use it well.Proud to have become an Ocean Rower in 2010 (crossed the Atlantic in a crew of 4 ladies and had the best 77 days of my life!)0 -

Yes I wash the rice. Mum would probably disown me if I didn't (even though she's 150 miles away). Don't know why but she's manic about washing rice."You can't get a cup of tea big enough or a book long enough to suit me." - C.S. Lewis0

If anyone has got an electric rice cooker can you please tell me whats the smallest amount of rice it will cook as despite looking online for the past hour all the listings I can find show the maximum capacitity but not the smallest0

It needs to cover the base of the cooker about 0.25 cm high, I think. However, I would do a bit more and freeze it in portions to microwave another day.0

Hi, If I am only cooking rice for one I use the microwave. For two portions up the rice cooker is fine. I much prefer rice cooked in the rice cooker - didn't think about cooking double and freezing half . Thanks Wyebird.Debt free - Mortgage free - Work free ( in that order

Sorry, can't help :sad:
I have one lurking at the back of a cupboard that I have never used (rice cooker, not cupboard)
Can they be used to cook anything else?0
