Panasonic SR-TEG18 10-Cup Rice Cooker/Warmer/Steamer with Domed Lid



I was kind of skeptical in ordering this rice cooker because I have had a National Brand Rice Cooker for over 20+ years and it finally gave out. When I researched that Panasonic had bought out National, I thought that I would give it a try and I'm glad that I did. It cooks the rice perfectly and I like that it keeps the rice warm for up to 12 hours. It is very easy to use and cleaning is a breeze. This is the best purchase that I have made all year. I would highly recommend.

Panasonic SR-G10G 450-Watt 5-1/2-Cup Rice Cooker and Steamer



I bought this rice cooker 2 months ago.(after having a problem with my old nonstick rice cooker) The reason I chose this one because I don't like Taflon nonstick surface. It'd come off no matter how you took good care of it. So far, I'm very pleased with it.

I'm an Asain who eat rice everyday. I cooked as little as 2 cup or as much as 5 cup (full capacity). I never had any experience about rice stick in the bottom of the pot. However, you have to know the trick. Every time you cook rice, you have to let it stand in the pot for at least 10 to 15 minutes (after the cook button change to warm button) before taking rice out of the pot, as a result, rice will never stick. And for this price ($26.99), it's very worth my money for having perfect rice in every meal. Clean up is very easy, just soak the inner pot for several minutes before cleaning.

Sushi Chef Rice Cracker Mix, 5-Ounce Boxes (Pack of 6)



We used to love these but more recently couldn't find them at local supermarkets. Thanks, Amazon, for making this great product accessible again!

Sushi Rice Japanese style - 5 lb



I've tasted different rice varieties and this one is incomparable in taste and texture. Some of you may be skeptical but this special variety is short and plump but has a nice shine and not brittle when it is steamed. Also the texture is smooth as you eat it along with your favorite foods. Excellent for sushi. People who like their cooked rice a bit glutinuous will love this.

RiceSelect Sushi Rice, 36-Ounce Jars (Pack of 4)



I have used this rice to make sushi several times, and it always works great, though I usually have to cook it longer than the instructions say. In any case, the texture is perfect and sticky, and making sushi is well worth the effort--it's a crowd pleaser, as well as a fun thing to try with friends. Don't forget the rice vinegar!
