Cuisinart CRC-400 4-Cup Rice Cooker Sale
Healthy cooking and sleek modern design meld in this rice cooker from Cuisinart. A smaller version of the eight-cup cooker, this one also features a handsome brushed stainless-steel exterior, a square shape with rounded corners, chrome-plated handles, and a glass lid with a stainless rim, chrome knob, and steam vent hole. Inside you'll find a high-quality stainless-steel steaming basket and a nonstick cooking bowl that produces 4 to 7 cups of rice. The cooker also steams vegetables and thin cuts of meat, creating a complete, fat-free meal with little effort. Besides various types of rice, the cooker cooks couscous, polenta, oatmeal, boiled eggs, shrimp, and much more. An included booklet presents gourmet recipes for such mouth-watering meals as Creamy Parmesan Risotto with Asparagus, and Teriyaki Steamed Chicken with Cranberry Wild Rice.
Cuisinart gives this upscale rice cooker extra panache with a cord that pulls out and then retracts for storage. One lever is all that's required to flip the machine on. Two different colored LED lights illuminate, one during the cooking phase, and the other when the machine automatically switches to warm when cooking is done. Included with the machine are a textured plastic paddle for stirring and serving, and a plastic measuring cup calibrated specifically for rice. All the unit's removable parts are dishwasher-safe. The cooker measures 7-3/4 by 7-3/4 by 9 inches, and is covered by a three-year warranty. --Ann Bieri

Cuisinart CRC-400 4-Cup Rice Cooker Customer Review
I'm not big on how "pretty" a piece of kitchen appliance is (I'm a man! LOL), but it's a really good looking thing. Cleaning is also a breeze, a huge plus. It's small and the perfect size for the capacity of rice it cooks. It's also sturdy compared to other 4-cuppers I've seen and handled at the stores. Very well made, in my opinion.
I have not had any overflowing issues. I wonder what other people are doing wrong (other than using too much rice and water)... I switched from medium grain to long grain jasmine rice and I can assure you, ONE cup of raw rice is plenty for one or two people. I dislike wet and gloppy rice so I just made sure I experimented with the rice-to-water ratio until the thing turned out the rice as I like it. The first couple of tries the rice was wetter (stickier?) than I liked, but no problem, I just fried it with some chopped onions, salt, pepper, and some eggs. Delicious! I have not tried the steamer feature, but I'm glad it's an option. I'm definitely happy with this rice cooker and would highly recommend it to people who don't need anything more than 1-3 (or 4) cups of cooked rice at a time.
