One is small and I've had it for about 6 years. I bought the other one in the last year. It holds 16 cups cooked and has a timer delay, which makes getting dinner ready so much easier. I use it at least 3 times a week! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-rice-cooker/page/2#post-1022884 Thu, 15 Aug 2013 23:24:10 +0000 joyjoy 1022884@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, and I've never used it! It was given to us as a gift by my Aunt who was appalled that I didn't already own one, so maybe 5 years old? It's still in its box. :P </p> <p>We don't eat a lot of rice, and when we do, I just make it in a small pot on the stove. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-rice-cooker/page/2#post-1022872 Thu, 15 Aug 2013 23:02:53 +0000 Ginabean3 1022872@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: ooh, nice!

(Yes, Mr. Jacks might have inadvertently dumped a cup of rice-y water into the bottom without the bowl in it). Yikes! Ours was cheap and old... 2006.</p> <p>Now I'm in the market for a new one. Any recs? I'm looking at Zojirushi at this point but am open to other suggestions. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-rice-cooker#post-1022759 Thu, 15 Aug 2013 21:47:27 +0000 shopaholic 1022759@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: Our Zojirushi has settings for: white, mixed, brown, sweet, porridge, and sushi. </p> <p>@mamabear57: Send it to me too! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-rice-cooker#post-1021359 Thu, 15 Aug 2013 17:55:00 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 1021359@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have 3.</p> <p>My aunt keeps forgetting that she's already bought us one, and gets us one every Christmas.</p> <p>I think my brother has 5 LOL </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-rice-cooker#post-1021326 Thu, 15 Aug 2013 17:47:56 +0000 Sweet T 1021326@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a small one but it's the perfect size for us.
