Great Product
I got my multicooker on Saturday and used it for dinner. I found that it reaches the set temperature quickly so you need to be prepared for that. Other electric cookers I have used take longer to reach operating temperature. The meal came out fine and the multicooker cleaned up easily.
I got this product because my Cuisinart rice cooker is annoying to use and difficult to do other things than just cook rice. This product has a much larger steam basket than the Cuisinart. It is also more versatile than my Presto multicooker. That has a terrible steaming option and can't cook rice.
Some people complain about the lack of instructions. The booklet that comes in the box is shorter than the PDF version which is found on the product's home page. Do a google on George Foreman multicooker and you'll see the link for the PDF. That version of the manual has detailed rice cooking and steaming instructions. It has some recipes too.
Some people complain about the...
Love the Multi-cooker
I don't remember the last time I loved an appliance as much as this multi-cooker. I agree with the other complaints there are poor instructions, but if you are willing to jump in and experiment -- it's a great product. I started with making brown rice and steaming vegetables. Just use the water / brown rice measurements off the package turn the cooker on - hit mode and select the brown rice mode. I checked in on the rice after 25 minutes or so and then added the vegetables to the steam insert. I then checked the rice / vegetables until the veggies and rice reached my desired firmness (about every 5 minutes until it was done). The cooker does shut off automatically and goes to the warm setting, but I prefer my rice a little less soft and more al dente, so I stopped it early.
After making rice, I went on to some mixed rice dishes, making chicken and yellow rice (which was an easy one-dish meal) it worked perfectly just using a recipe I had on had, the same for a curried rice...
Great product at a good price
I was looking for a product that heated foods quickly & a larger quantity than other similar products. The labeling is wrong however-30 cups is 7 1/2qts. not 5 1/2qts. I was scared to order it fearing it was a 5 1/2 qt but was pleasantly surprised! The original price was too expensive for me also, but once it was lowered quite a bit, I jumped on it. It heats very quickly & I love the settings & the way the control panel operates. You do need to stir foods heating frequently if it's set very high if you're not trying to brown something or it does try to stick a little. Cleanup is very easy also.
