Rice Cookers > Kenwood Rice Cookers

From an eastern perspective

Advantages: cooks rice perfectly
Disadvantages: not multi functional

Before talking about this Kenwood rice cooker, I would like to talk about cooking rice from an eastern perspective. Growing up in the Far East, it is hard for me to imagine why a lot of western people boil rice in large quantity of water and throw the water away (I know rice is cooked differently in places like Italy or Spain but I'm not going into that). Our mothers always told us that by doing the above, all the flavour and nutrients are gone ...
...looked around and bought this Kenwood rice cooker. This can cook up to 6 cups of rice, which means 12 portions. The rice cooker comes in 3 parts. Outside is a white ceramic type of pot with a round metal right in the centre at the bottom, which is the heating devise. Inside is a non-stick bowl where you put the rice in. Finally, it's the glass lid which you can see through. The cord is not detachable. To cook rice, you first use the cup to measure ...

Advantages: novelty idea, looks good....
Disadvantages: just another slow cooker.

Well yet another, quite frankly strange christmas pressie recieved....a curry slow cooker. I got to admit when i opened the lovely wrapping paper, i had a bit of a shock! I can't cook, so what the hell was i supposed to do with it? I sat there thinking how much could i get for it on Ebay, when t'other halfs mum said to me "Now you can learn to be a proper woman and cook for my boy!" Pah i thought....i'd bloody show her!!!

...DESIGN*** Yes it's another slow cooker, but it's a good looking, different one at least.....A mattt black "bowl" with shiny purple edges, handles and setting knob, with the usual clear, glass lid. Saying it looks good is one thing, but i'd love to find someone who has a kitchen this would actually look good in!! It's not the biggest slow cooker, so easy to store, and not an eyesore when being used....it doesn't get in your way. The actual size is ...

Review of Kenwood RC317

dont buy a slow cooker if you love food

Advantages: you can leave it unattended for hours
Disadvantages: poor flavour, over cooks meat

i recently bought a morphy richards slow cooker (on recommendations from various websites) and i have to say if you really love cooking you wont like using a slow cooker or the results . if however you are very busy and need the convenience of food being cooked while you are out at work or shopping then you will probably find the results acceptable. Personally i dont like cooking in the morning, just a personal thing i know but you have to start ...
...cooking you are not supposed to lift off the lid because all the heat goes out and you have to extend the cooking time. So how do you taste it and alter it or improve it if you can't take off the lid. My main problem with it is that although it makes the meat tender it all ends up half boiled / half steamed and lacking in a concentration of flavour that cooking in the oven in a cast iron casserole dish provides. Its the slow equivelant of cooking ...
