COSORI 18 Functions Rice Cooker with 3-Quart Steamer - Versatile Multi

Our review of the COSORI 18 Functions Rice Cooker finds it ideal for households that want one pot to handle rice, grains, steaming and slow cooking without fuss. The single biggest reason to buy is versatility: with 18 cooking programs and a 3-quart stainless steel steam basket, this cooker replaces several appliances while delivering consistently good rice and steamed vegetables. It suits busy cooks who value easy cleanup and healthy materials, and the quick rice option is helpful when time is tight.

Key Features

• 18 Cooking Functions: Offers programs for multiple types of white and brown rice, three grains and three oats so you can pick textures that match family preferences.
• 3-Quart Stainless Steel Steamer: Steam vegetables, fish or chicken at once in a BPA- and PFOA-free basket for healthier meals without added oils.
• Quick Rice Mode: Delivers faster white rice cooking at 1000W when you need a meal sooner, while still preserving acceptable texture.
• 24-Hour Keep Warm & Timer: Lets you delay cooking and keep finished rice warm for convenient meal timing across the day.
• Dishwasher-Safe Parts: Nonstick inner pot and removable lid break down for easy cleaning, reducing the time spent on maintenance.

Who It's For

The COSORI rice cooker is best for small families or busy individuals who want a single appliance that handles rice, grains, steaming, saute and slow-cooked soups with minimal hands-on time. People who prioritize healthy materials and easy cleanup will appreciate the stainless steel steam basket and dishwasher-safe accessories.

It may be less suitable for someone who needs extremely rapid stir-fry or wok-style cooking, since some users note cooking times vary by method; also the steam basket is only compatible with the larger COSORI 5-Quart model, so confirm compatibility if you plan to use alternate baskets.
