Bear 4 Multifunctional 2 Cups(Uncooked) Rice Cooker with Steamer for 1-3 People, Perfect for White/Brown Rice, Porridge, and Soup, Blue Rice Cooker

This rice cooker is brilliant. I use it for all its functions but broaden its capabilities because of how hot it gets. All rice settings work so well and the soup and porridge functions make it a small slow cooker. I’ve also fried an egg in it! The steam function makes amazing dumplings and veggies and I’ve used it to make ramen where I’ve added dumplings into it. Well worth the money and especially good for van life!

“Nah, don’t need a rice cooker, I’d never use it” yep, that was me, before I bought a rice cooker. Until one day, we had people over for a Barbecue, we needed a lot of rice, and my sister in law said “oh, you can use our rice cooker” The results speak for themselves, consistency assured, fluffy rice, sticky rice, sushi rice- as well as the steam function makes meal prep a breeze. I doomscrolled forever trying to decide which one to get, size wise, price wise and quality- this seemed to tick all the boxes, and it does. Smart enough to cook the rice to perfection, even for a eejot like me.

One of the best pieces of equipment ever to come into my home. I am so impressed that I have encouraged other family members to buy this. You can just add your rice, water, salt, click a button and walk away. The ability to walk away is the best part. It cooks perfectly and also keeps it warm. The only thing to note is that it's not 100% clear how much water to add. But a quick check online and you'll see its the same as regular rice cooking. I always wash my rice thoroughly in a sieve and have never had any issues with the Bear rice cooker. It is used about 3 times per week in our home.

Great machine, feels well built and it looks ok, woukd prefer more colours though. Cooks rice quick but you need some testing and adjustment to your rice brand. Instructions are not good but once you figure out how you like you rice you'll be fine, for me 1 cup white rice with 1.5 water keep it moist and sticky. For brown rice is use 1-1. Only major issue is the 'alarm' sound is just terribly quiet and since this remains on to keep you food warm it can lead to boilding over which leaks liquid out and causes a mess. Im forgetful so its happened more times than not. It staying on to keep food warm is nice but also a safety concern since is boils and leaks so easy. This is only an issue for forgetful people or those who leave the room. Just set an alexa timer to remind you as th machine is almoat silent!

Love this bear 6 multifunctional rice cooker with steamer. Yes it takes a lot longer to cook wholegrain brown rice but I believe it is worth it for the quality of the cooked rice. I had forgotten white basmati has separate grains once cooked! I love the squarish shape that is slightly smaller than some models and the quality of the plastic gives the sense of it being robust as well as not being bright white. The internal lid is very easy to remove and clean. Note: when cooking wholegrain brown rice, and the cooker is venting steam, you may need to mop up liquid grunge regularly (for a short period) from the top surface circular vent. A great rice cooker for the money, excellent value, highly commended.

I was using a saucepan and the 2:1 ratio (2 parts water, 1 part rice) but the cooking was always iffy, trying not to burn the rice or the pan, sometimes the rice came out too watery, or nicely cooked but the pan was difficult to clean afterwards. Call me lazy yeah. So I decided to invest on a rice cooker, I didn't want anything that could feed an army regiment, just a small rice cooker. So based on the fact that most reviews on Amazon are being pay offs, I was very sceptical on choosing my first rice cooker. I was between this and another German one, finally chose this because of the lower price compared to the German model. And I'm glad I did cause there nothing not to love about the Bear! Rice? Perfection! Simply the best rice I ever made without stressing myself, or being on top of it while it cooks. The steaming basket? The huge bonus for me (which has actually opened new horizons in my diet). The basket is enough for a couple of regular persons or one with a huge appetite like myself :D So cooking rice while steaming anything on the basket is a huge benefit for me, as it basically means that you hit two birds with one stone (I don't want to sound vulgar to our little fluffy feathered flying friends - this statement excludes pigeons of course, which are annoying beggars). Two different foods in one cooking: less washing up! Happy times! Ease of use? 3 step function! Fill it up with contents - Choose what kind of rice (or soup, porridge etc) you want to make and press start. Let it heat and cook under an extractor, go do your thing and come back after a while with an empty plate to fill and eat (actually avoid eating the plate, they are very crunchy let me tell ya). So far i haven't been adventurous in making soups etc so I cannot comment on these, however the rice (long grain. basmati and brown) and steamed vegetables, prawns, frankfurters that I usually put on are out of this world. One thing to note is that the Bear (being a bear) is quite slow. Especially when cooking brown rice, which took about 50 minutes in my case. White rice generally takes about 30 minutes or so. The amazing thing about the bear is that it won't overcook or burn your food, once it is ready the device stops cooking and keeps it warm till you press the start/stop button on the lid. Which actually is a gem if you are a gamer, or if you watch a move and have forgotten about the food (which I do like 9 in 10 times). If you are thinking which rice cooker to buy, the bear is a gorgeous choice. It will feed 2 hungry individuals well with rice and steamed whatever, it cleans very easily and won't break the bank. Plus it not one of those wild bears that will destroy your house looking for the honeypot. It is nice and compact and can be stored easily till next time use. Amazing cooker, very happy with it! As the Brits say: "does what it says on the tin" (and is really good at it)

I have wanted a rice cooker for forever and because I mess rice up every time we don’t eat very much rice and especially that we are switching all white food to wholemeal I thought if I can’t cook white rice I will only really mess up brown rice, so a rice cooker it was.😊 I searched for ages comparing products and prices and settled with this Bear 6 and I have not been disappointed! What a dream finally eating well cooked tasty rice. I made basmati using the white rice setting it came out perfect. Since then, I have made brown rice several times and not been let down at all. The rice is always cooked evenly and fluffs with a fork with ease. This is a neat looking rice cooker, quite compact as I found a space to store in the cupboard. The instructions are simple, easy to understand (although there is very little instructions needed to use this cooker). It comes with a measuring cup for rice, wide plastic spoon/spatula and the markings in the pot are super clear making it easy to then add the water to the line / depending on rice amount measured. What I have found though is that it takes quite some time to warm up & cook the rice, so I now get the rice in the cooker ahead of making the rest of the dinner. The rice has never stuck to the non-stick pot, and it is really easy to clean. When the rice is cooked it beeps and then turns automatically to Keep Warm – usually by this time I am ready to dish up but if I’m not it’s not a problem bc my rice is still kept warm. We are a family of 3 and this size is more than big enough for us (I have only ever used 2 cups and there is always plenty leftover) but it does cook for more than 2 cups. Also includes steamer basket – this is really small though and I haven’t yet used it and can also be used for porridge, soup etc. Highly recommend - so pleased I settled with this Bear 6 - I Love it..

As someone who is completely new to using rice cookers, I was a bit nervous at first but when my dad requested one for his birthday that’s when I had to find something to make him happy and then I came across this since most of our rice cookers with affection nearly £60-£70 and at the time I had a very tight budget and couldn’t afford much so when I came across this I had a glimmer of Hope and then when it arrived I’m delighted to say not not only did it impressed my Dad, but it’s also impressed me as a first timer for rice cookers very easy to use once you get through the instructions and rice comes up perfectly cooked every single time not to mention you can also do steaming you can do soups and even porridge with this rice cooker! So if you’re looking for a rice cooker that’s cheap and yeah great quality versatility and functionality as well as a decent fast cooking time this is the rice cooker for you!

I love this little rice cooker! It makes perfect rice and quinoa! It is simple to use and easy to clean. My only “complaint” is if you plug it in it automatically turns on to “warm”, so if you’re puttering around not paying attention to making rice it sits heating up. Small flaw, but I am learning and I would recommend it to the people who want a stylish effective rice cooker for the casual rice consumption family. (I’ve been told if rice is a staple to your every day, there are other “tip of the line” cookers for “rice snobs”) This one is great!

I fell in love with this rice cooker the moment I saw it on Amazon. The dark blue color with the gold trim is absolutely beautiful and makes it look so much more high-end than your typical kitchen appliance. It’s honestly one of the cutest things on my counter and doesn’t feel bulky or out of place at all. This is actually my first rice cooker, and I wanted something simple for making rice, quinoa, and similar meals more regularly with my busy schedule. This has been perfect for that. It comes with everything you need—a rice paddle, measuring cup, and instructions—and it’s very easy to use. What I really like is how simple the operation is. You just plug it in, add your rice and water, close the lid, and push the lever to start cooking. The mechanism is smart too—it won’t activate unless there’s weight inside from the rice and water, which is a nice safety feature. It runs automatically and cooks for about 30 minutes, so there’s no need to mess with timers or settings. When you first get it, it does recommend running a cycle with water to remove any manufacturing smell, which I did. That step worked perfectly and made sure my first batch didn’t taste like anything but fresh rice. Another huge plus is the size. It’s compact, lightweight, and super easy to find space for on the counter, which is great if you don’t have a lot of room. Overall, I absolutely love this rice cooker. It’s simple, reliable, aesthetically pleasing, and perfect for everyday use. Definitely worth the money and a great addition to a busy lifestyle!

I've had several rice cookers, including the expensive Zojirushi, but this one is the best, by far! Let's start with the fact that it has a carry handle which makes it easy to transport. It's amazingly easy to clean as the upper part inside the lid snaps in and out. You can put it in the dishwasher, if you want. The cook pot inside has a non-stick surface making it easy to completely clean as well. It can cook more than just rice but does a spectacular job with that basic function. Perfect every time! Lastly, it's a really pretty color (I bought the green, which a lovely seafoam green color) and looks great on my open shelf. Make sure you wash and rinse your rice before cooking and you will end up with beautifully fluffy perfect rice!

very simple to use-fun design- i have been using it to make brown rice, and its perfect every time! It does all the work while you get on with the rest of the meal. if you eat rice regularly, its a must have!
