Rice cookers are a staple in just about every kitchen. Given how important they are, you’ll want to make sure that you find one that best suits your needs. To help you out, we’ve rounded up some of the most notable rice cookers we have on offer. Here are the five best rice cookers by Mayer.

What Makes a Good Rice Cooker?

Selecting the ideal rice cooker involves a careful balance of features and functionality. To ensure you make an informed decision, we'll be examining the rice cookers based on the following criteria: 

Capacity

Capacity is one of the most important factors when choosing a rice cooker. You’ll want to make sure to purchase a rice cooker that can accommodate your specific needs. Now, bigger isn’t al'ways better when it comes to rice cookers. Instead of trying to get the biggest rice cooker available, you’ll want to choose one that works best for you. Small rice cookers are perfect for individuals or couples. Larger rice cookers are better for larger families, as they tend to, for the most part, consume more food.

Features

While rice cookers tend to be pretty straightforward, some of them come with additional features that can improve your overall quality of life. Some rice cookers come with simple features such as a “keep warm” mode and delayed start timers. Other rice cookers may have more comprehensive features such as different modes that cook rice in different ways. 

Ease of Use

Rice cookers make preparing rice infinitely easier. A great rice cooker shouldn't be complicated. You'll want to purchase a rice cooker that has intuitive controls so you don't need to consult the manual every time you use it. Look for clear, well-labelled buttons or dials. Clear displays that show cooking progress and settings eliminate any confusion. A straightforward cleaning process is also essential. Removable inner pots and lids that are dishwasher-friendly will save you time and effort.

Durability

Longevity matters in a kitchen appliance. You’ll want to pick a rice cooker that will last you a long time. A durable rice cooker saves you money in the long run. You won't need to go through the hassle and expense of replacing it prematurely due to wear and tear.
