NutriChef 1.6 QT Portable Electric Rice Cooker & Lunch Maker | Multi-Functional & Non-Stick Ceramic Coating | Digital Control Panel | 6 Cook Functions: Rice, Soup, Stew, Porridge & More | Black

So handy! The outside & bottom barely get warm & feel good to wrap hands around on cold days w/ no burning of hands or surfaces @ all. All 3 colors look great. I kept the green for myself. I've fried HB in it, added some peas, gr. beans, & pumpkin in after draining the fat off & made a meal for my dog. It does much more than rice & soups. It's very fast. If non-scratch utensils are used, it can serve both for cooking & also eating out of. Nothing sticks to it as long Iong as non-scratch cleaning pads & utensils are the only things used in it. A set of bamboo eating utensils along w/ silicone cooking utensils work perfectly to protect the ceramic. It would work for workplace lunches, college dorm use, RV's & tiny kitchens, or single people just not needing to drag out a lot of cooking stuff. I thought it was pricey & almost decided against getting it. I really like it tho! It heats so fast that I pretty much ignore the settings & just watch it. Takes about 30 seconds to heat a can of soup. Less for hot chocolate. It'll cook spaghetti, mac & cheese, & all sorts of soups/stews/noodles/& things. I haven't tried baking a muffin or brownie in it yet, but I think I could w/ the keep warm feature if the hot functions are too hot. I'll have to try both ways & see, but I bet it'll work. It's big enough to use some of the the microwave mug meal recipes (doubled) in it. This is a handy little appliance that has really impressed me w/ what all I can use it for & how cute, simple, & easily adaptable it has been for me. I'm having fun thinking of new things to try in it. Baked apples & cinnamon maybe, or who knows what. UPDATE: I got a recipe book for the Dash Mini Rice Cooker & I already had a recipe book for 1.5qt slow cookers. Both if then work perfectly for this cute little mug style rice cooker to expand meals to just about anything you could imagine or want to cook or bake in perfectly sized meals for a single person wanting only small meals, watching portion sizes, or just don't want to drag out a lot of stuff in the kitchen & keep it simple. Love this adorable little mug cooker. Cooks & bakes a lo5 of diffrrent things if you're willing to try it. I use my mug meal recipes in this too instead of a microwave. I don't have a microwave, but do have a mug meals recipe book for the small proportioned meals & treats & to keep things simple & quick w/o a lot of fuss. So go for it & discover as I did that you aren't limited to rice & soups w/ this little mug rice cooker. It'll surprise you!

It's just what I was hoping for. It's perfect for my oatmeal in the morning. I know that it doesn't need to be good looking but it is. The smooth design, and the fact that the plug unhooks from the base makes it so easy to clean. There are no little nooks and crannies for anything to get caught in. It is quite simplistic, but is very well designed and I highly approve of the materials. I've cooked brown rice in it, and I recommend a stir at some point of any long cook to keep the rice on the bottom from toasting a little. Because there is no detachable bowl insert, I don't need a rice paddle to scoop the food out, I just unplug it and lift the whole unit by it's handle. It completely lives up to being 'non-stick'. I'm also glad to have this on hand for when the power goes out. I can plug it in to my reserve electricity and use it as a cook pot to warm soup and the like. I think energy consumption would be too high to make rice with my small energy setup, but there is a lower setting to keep things warm that I think will work well for soup or cooked beans. Just what I wanted. I've had more expensive rice cookers with all sorts of fancy settings, but for the price point you can't beat this well designed, attractive little maker.

I recently purchased the NutriChef Rice Cooker, and it has quickly become a staple in my kitchen. Its versatility is truly impressive, with six cooking programs that allow me to whip up everything from fluffy rice to hearty soups and even delicious stews. The ability to create a variety of dishes has made meal prep a lot more exciting. One of the standout features is the 600W heating element combined with a full-circle heating plate. This design ensures that my meals cook evenly and efficiently, which has significantly improved my rice cooking experience. No more burnt bottoms or undercooked grains—just perfectly cooked rice every time. Safety was clearly a priority in this design. The automatic power-off feature and anti-burn technology provide peace of mind, especially for those of us who tend to get distracted while cooking. It’s reassuring to know that I can leave it unattended without worrying about accidents. Cleaning up is a breeze thanks to the non-stick ceramic coating. After a busy dinner, I appreciate how easy it is to wipe down the interior. The user interface is intuitive, with clearly labeled buttons that make operating the cooker straightforward, even for beginners. What I love most is its dual function as a serving bowl. After cooking, I can serve directly from the pot, keeping everything warm for up to two hours. This has been particularly handy during gatherings, as it simplifies serving and minimizes the need for extra dishes. Overall, the NutriChef Rice Cooker is a fantastic investment for anyone looking to simplify their cooking process while enjoying a wide range of delicious meals. It’s compact, efficient, and user-friendly—definitely a great addition to my kitchen!

I decided to get this rice cooker because of the different cooking functions it offers. So far, I've used it to cook jasmine, wild, brown, and white rice. I struggled with the wild rice because I also added sauce and shrimp to the pot. I had to extend the cooking time to get the rice to cook thoroughly. I used water with the other grains and achieved a soft and fluffy cook. I've found that I achieve better results if I stick to cooking the rice with water only and use a skillet to cook the sauce and meats separately. The cooking process couldn't be any easier. Just press a button, close the lid, and wait for the timer to beep at you. I've yet to try the other cooking programs because the product guide doesn't have any recipes. A Google and YouTube search didn't present any results for the NutriChef rice cooker. And, I wasn't able to find the cooker or related cookbooks on the NutriChef website. That means I'll have to experiment with the soups and stews. No biggie. I enjoy experimenting. I'm looking forward to seeing how well it cooks chili and stew for one or two people. Clean-up is easy. All you have to do is disconnect the cord, add a bit of water, and use a paper towel to wipe it clean. Love the lightweight feel and the convenience of disconnecting the power cord for compact storage. Overall, I give this rice cooker a 4.8 out of 5 stars because lack of recipes for soups, stews, and congee. Perfect for cooking rice and noodles for one to two people.

I absolutely love this little rice cooker. It’s super easy. I love the color it matches in my kitchen beautifully and you just take out the inner pot. It wipes clean. Excellent if you want to make a small pot of rice or soups.

I was initially very impressed with the NutriChef 1.6 QT Portable Electric Rice Cooker & Lunch Maker. I used it about once a week, and during that time it worked perfectly—cooked rice evenly, was easy to use, and the size was convenient. Unfortunately, after only about 2 months of light use, the unit suddenly failed. It made a loud noise, completely shut off, and even tripped my circuit breaker, which is concerning from a safety standpoint. Given how lightly it was used, I expected much better durability. A kitchen appliance like this should last significantly longer than a handful of uses. Very disappointed, especially since it performed so well at first. I would not recommend this product due to reliability and potential safety concerns.

This thing works great. I have used it for all kinds of quick cooking from Ramen noodles to rice to couscous. It works amazing.

I really like is ceramic, quick cooking, size is perfect and it doesn’t get stick. Price is fine and has multiple functions. The only downside is the pot doesn’t come out and it is a little tricky to wash it

This is very useful and easy to use. It would be perfect if the power cord plug could be designed into the handle. It will be 120% perfect.

Cuciriso molto carino e super compatto, perfetto per una persona! Cercavo un modello piccolo da molto tempo e questo è semplicemente perfetto: puoi vedere chiaramente la profondità della ciotola nelle foto. È molto facile da pulire, non occupa quasi spazio e mantiene i cibi caldi per molto tempo. Sono davvero soddisfatto del mio acquisto, lo consiglio!

really cute pot where i cook rice but also "types" of soup and does its job. The only downside for me is the fact that is risky to clean/wash since you cannot take out the white part and ofc, the cable plug is on the body so you can't really wash it properly or you have to be very careful, but the water might get inside and break the whole thing. Besides that, love the desing too!

I've used it a few times at work. It doesnt boil, boil as such. Maximum heat is only up to 90⁰ and the heating comes on intermittently. It will cook ramen noodles but a but slower than a hob. Great if you're hankering for a hot meal. Sauce or flavouring, veg, meat and noodles. Job done. I've not cooked anything without water like stir frying. I'm loathe to stain the inside with frying in oil. Washing out stains would be quite a feat as I'd be very worried to get water into the plug port or onto the touch panel, between the casing and inner lining. As it is, I rinse it very carefully but soups are much easier to clean out than cooked on stains.

Rice cooker trop mignon et super compact, parfait pour une personne ! Je cherchais depuis longtemps un petit modèle et celui-ci est juste parfait — on voit bien la profondeur du bol sur les photos. Il est très facile à nettoyer, ne prend presque pas de place, et garde la soupe bien chaude pendant très longtemps. Je suis vraiment ravie de mon achat, je recommande à 100 % !
