Sanyo Rice Cooker With rice being the number one food eaten worldwide, it's no surprise that there are many high tech devices for preparing the perfect pot of starchy goodness. Even if rice isn't a part of your daily meals, this machine really raises the bar for what a rice cooker can help you accomplish with meal preparation.

The first thing that gets your attention is the name. How many other kitchen appliances advertise being micro-computerized? The list of features and foods this Sanyo cooker can handle is truly impressive. It has built-in settings for not just rice, but many rice varieties. Add to that timed slow cooking, vegetable steaming, egg cooking and even making tofu. There are a number of included components such as two separate inner pots with lids for multi-part meal preparation, a vegetable steaming tray and a tofu holder, as well as a measuring cup, rice paddle and a recipe booklet.

The inner rice pot is titanium coated and nonstick for easy rice removal. The digital display allows precise control and timer/keep warm setting, and also features a clock. The steam vent comes out for cleaning, and the cord is retractable. There is also a fold down handle for toting the unit around with you and bringing right to the table for serving.

I like the simple modern style of the unit, although with the control panel it looks as suited to a computer desk as a kitchen counter. Since arriving on the scene, this rice cooker has been getting rave reviews from users, so it seems that Sanyo has learned a thing or two in over 50 years of making kitchen appliances.

Here's a similar Sanyo rice cooker with a smaller, 5-cup capacity.
