 DO NOT BUY! August 5, 2010

This product is made with plastic #7.
According to the Microwave-safe plastics, this is not safe: [...] This is what the site says about it:
Type 7 - polycarbonate; "other" (can contain bisphenol A (BPA); most polycarbonate contains bisphenol A)
Do not use in microwave. (Note: Polycarbonate nursing bottles which have been boiled or washed more than 20 times or are badly scratched should be thrown out.)
Worse type of plastic you can put in the microwave. HARMFUL! Stay away!
 Rice cooker July 30, 2010

I bought this not for a rice cooker but to try it for cooking grits since I have a very good rice cooker. Rather than 15 minutes of cooking grits on the stove top I found that I can make perfect grits in 4 minutes, one serving, and don't have the cleanup with regular pans. It just rinses out clean and I can store it away. Great for people who like grits.

I decided to buy this rice cooker because we like brown rice and it just takes too long on the stove top. So, I tried this cooker and found I could get excellent brown rice in 60% of the time required on the stove top. Plus, the rice doesn't stick to it, it is easy to clean up and doesn't bubble over in the microwave. I now use it on for white rice as well so I don't have to worry about forgetting to take the pot off the stove in time to avoid scorching the rice at the bottom.
I would have given 5 stars, but the way the lid locks in place looks a little flimsy, though it hasn't caused any problems so far.

I got this rice cooker for free and I was glad to have it after my traditional rice cooker broke. It is basically just a plastic bowl with a strainer and a lid with a vent that can be opened and closed. The quality seems fine to me as I have used it several times and nothing has broken. I find that I always need to add more water and add time to recommendations in the instructions, but once you figure out what works in your microwave its not too hard to adjust accordingly. With that being said, I still think a traditional rice cooker is a better option for cooking rice as there is less room for errors and you can microwave other things (like vegetables) while your rice is cooking. The Nordic Ware rice cooker; however, is cheaper than any traditional rice cooker I've seen and is also great for heating up frozen veggies as you can put the veggies in the strainer. That setup will keep everything moist and allows you to easily remove the unwanted hot water.

The cover would not fit on securely so it was useless. I returned it and sorry I ever bought it.
