Inventum RK140ZW

When I first started living on my own, I tried to cook rice in a pan. That usually resulted in a lot of cleaning work or I could immediately buy a new pan. The bags also did not meet the requirements and that is why I bought this rice cooker on the advice of a colleague. The advantage is that it can also steam vegetables, although that does not work for an entire family. Fine for 1 or 2 people.

With the arrival of the cooker, I also started experimenting. I now easily cook wild rice, throw a little stock through the brown rice and steam vegetables in the steamer basket. Usually that works out well, sometimes it doesn't. Even if it's me and not the rice cooker.

This inventum rice cooker does what you expect it to do! And .. Is friendly priced. Gives you a WoW feeling every time. Can be done from the kitchen on the dining table. Like opening an oyster. Jewel of a design with perfectly cooked pearly white rice grains. Also practical with an insert steam basket and serving spoon included. Ordered online at coolblue on Saturday evening and delivered on Sunday afternoon.

Purchased this device because of its great reviews and promising features. I am sad I cannot return it now that I have tested it and discovered its design flaws.

A typical rice cooker or steamer has a glass lid with a small hole that serves as a steam vent. This device has a very thick plastic lid, and it uses a more complicated and very badly designed ventilation system. Very little steam can escape, and the condensation that remains pools inside the inner lid instead of dripping back down into the inner pan with the food. When you open the lid, water drips everywhere and forms puddles. You have to mop up this water before you remove the inner pan, so that it does not come in contact with the heating element and cause damage.

Even better, since the lid traps water, it also traps any sauce that bubbles up and touches it. You need to dismantle the lid to clean away this mess! It is therefore not practical to use it for soup or stew; ignore the ad!

Once again, newer is not always better, even when it comes to something as simple as a rice cooker. Look for another device with a typical glass lid
