Rice cooking score View more details.

This is the combined score for jasmine rice and brown rice, equally weighted.

Ease of use score View more details.

We assess how easy it is to use the rice cooker, including assembly, removal of rice, cleaning and operating the controls.

Jasmine rice score View more details.

We cook both jasmine and brown rice according to the manufacturer's instructions and assess the quality of the cooked rice. Good quality cooked rice should be firm, separate and neither crunchy in the centre nor mushy on the outside. We also check for browning of the rice at the bottom of the bowl.

Shop Ethical rates the environmental and social impact of the company (not the product) using independent sources. This rating is not included in our total score. The rating ranks from A (highest) to F (lowest); N/A means there is no rating for that company.

Sealed lid View more details.

A sealed lid usually means less of a mess on the kitchen bench, but these units can be a bit more complex to clean, having an inner lid that's removable and an outer one that usually isn't. The steam vents in these also need to be cleaned – some have removable vents, but many do not.
