The Best Rice Cookers for Every Use
For anyone looking for a rice cooker based on how many people they cook for and how they use it.
Find the ideal rice cooker to suit your needs — from cooking rice for one person to preparing meals for a crowd.
For 1–2 people
The Adler AD 6418 has a capacity of 0.6 L, just right for one or two servings of rice. When cooking is complete, it automatically switches to keep warm, so the rice stays warm until you’re ready to serve it.
The glass lid with a steam vent lets you check on the rice without opening it, and the non-stick pot can be removed from the appliance and washed separately. At 23 cm wide and 21 cm high, it takes up little counter space.
For 1–2 people
- 0.6 L capacity: rice for 1–2 servings
- 300 W power
- Automatic keep-warm function after cooking
- Removable non-stick pot for easy cleaning
- Protection against overheating and dry boiling
Review we liked:
Amazing product; cooks rice perfectly. Great for a one- or two-person household.
For everyday use
The Mesko MS6411 handles everyday meals for the household with a 1.5 L capacity. Its 1,000 W of power heats the water quickly, so cooking can start without delay.
When the rice is ready, the appliance switches from cooking to keep-warm mode, keeping the food warm until it is served.
For Everyday Use
- 1.5 L capacity for everyday home cooking
- 1,000 W power for quick heating
- Keeps food warm after cooking
- Black finish to suit any kitchen
Review we selected:
Very good, I use it at least twice a week
For steamed vegetables
The Russell Hobbs 27040 comes with a steam basket that lets you cook vegetables at the same time as rice, using just one appliance and one power socket. The 2 L capacity provides room for both the rice and the basket.
After cooking, the keep-warm function keeps the meal warm. At 32 cm tall, it needs a little more vertical space, so measure your shelf or cupboard before placing it there.
For steaming vegetables
- Vegetable steaming basket for cooking alongside the rice
- 2 L capacity
- 500 W power
- Keeps food warm after cooking
- Dimensions: 22.6 × 24.5 × 32.2 cm (width × depth × height)
A review that stood out to us:
Worth it for great rice—you put it on and forget about it. No plastic smell after the first use. It also doubles as a steamer.
For larger households
The Tefal RK103811 cooks up to 10 cups of rice at a time, with a 5 L capacity. It’s a great choice for a large family meal or for cooking batches to portion out for several meals.
The keep-warm function keeps the rice warm while you serve, and the steam basket lets you cook vegetables alongside it. It has one cooking function, rather than separate programs for different types of rice. The glass lid lets you see how the food is cooking.
For multiple people
- 5 L capacity: up to 10 cups of rice
- 700 W power
- Steamer basket for vegetables
- Keeps food warm while you serve
- Glass lid lets you see the cooking process
Review we picked:
We are very happy with it; we use it for wild black rice and vegetables too, and everything turns out perfectly.
From rice for one person to cooking for a crowd, each option here suits a specific need: the capacity and steamer basket help you decide which one to choose.
