Cuckoo 6-Cup Micom Rice Cooker (CR-0675F)

This multi-functional electric rice cooker from popular Korean brand Cuckoo takes the guesswork out of rice—and grains of all kinds. It uses a Fuzzy Logic computer chip to automatically detect the type and quantity of rice in the pot and adjust the cook time and temperature as needed. The result: perfectly cooked rice with the push of a button. (And no more Googling rice-to-water ratios for brown rice versus jasmine rice, for example.) Despite the name, this isn’t just a “rice” cooker: With more than a dozen built-in cooking modes, the Cuckoo handles everything from oats and quinoa to whole-grain porridges and congee. (There’s even an integrated setting for crisp-bottomed “scorched” rice, which makes a delicious snack or crunchy topping for soups and stews.) A removable tray catches any excess condensation that collects during cooking, ensuring that whatever you’re making turns out tender—never soggy. Plus, unlike far too many electric rice cookers, this one is easy to clean: An auto-clean function steam-cleans the interior after each use, and the inner pot and pot lid are dishwasher-safe. The Cuckoo has all the features you’d expect from a top-notch rice cooker, like an automatic keep-warm mode, a delay timer and a modern LCD display; it also comes with a rice paddle and measuring cup.
