Customer Reviews of Cuisinart CRC-400 4-Cup Rice Cooker
Customer Rating: Rating: 1/5Rating: 1/5Rating: 1/5Rating: 1/5Rating: 1/5
Summary: Does not work
Comment: After repeated efforts, my experience has been that rice rarely turns out well with this rice cooker. I have tried to make adjustments to the amount of liquid but the rice is usually undercooked by varying degrees. It is very inconsistent on how long it cooks for a fixed quantity of rice and water, and often burns the rice on the bottom before cooking all the rice. I give up and am looking for a different rice cooker.

Summary: Simple and great
Comment: Hands down the most stylish and useful little rice cooker on the market. We use it almost daily. With jasmine rice from Thailand and a 1:2 ratio, there has been no mess. When we first got this or if my spouse first used it, it would boil over. Right now we could not be happier with it, Stainless steel was the draw, the performance made it a keeper.

Summary: Waste of money. Stay away from this item
Comment: This is the worst rice cooker I've ever used! I'm Asian, so I know what a good cooked rice should be like. This rice cooker does not cook!! Rice always come out undercook. I tried following the direction in the manual, tried different ratios of rice vs water, followed instruction in the rice package, tried different type of rice. IT ALWAYS UNDERCOOKED!

You're better off buying a non-branded rice cooker from your chinese supermarket or store.

Summary: It cooks rice consistently perfect
Comment: This little cooker does exactly what it is supposed to do... cook rice. It is compact, consistent and well built. I have cooked brown rice, white rice and even Uncle Ben's Rice Pilaf box dishes with excellent results. As long as you accurately measure the rice and water you will be fine.

Summary: I expect more from Cuisinart
Comment: I love using the rice cooker. The rice turns out perfect every time. However, no matter which recipe I use, it over flows onto the counter.

The shape is great, the squareness of it makes it easy to store. I still use it all the time, I just make sure that there isn't anything near it when it cooks. The only other complaint I have is that there is not an off switch, you have to unplug it after every use. Maybe they are all like that, I do not know, this is the only one I have ever used.

I love the retractable cord!!! Rice is perfectly cooked and appliance is easy to store. Too bad it makes such a mess, I expected more from Cuisinart.

Choosing Appliance -> Energy-Efficient Refrigerators
The EnergyGuide label on new refrigerators will tell you how much electricity in kilowatt-hours (kWh) a particular model uses in one year. The smaller the number, the less energy the refrigerator uses and the less it will cost you to operate. In addition to the EnergyGuide label, don't forget to look for the Energy Star label. A new refrigerator with an Energy Star label will save you between $35 and $70 a year compared to the models designed 15 years ago. This adds up to between $525 and $1,050 during the average 15-year life of the unit.

Tips How to Maintain Appliance -> Maintain Electrical Safely
The insulation on electrical cords can become damaged by wear, flexing, or age. Do not use any cord that is stiff or cracked. Some clues that you may have an electrical problem are:
  • Flickering lights. If the lights dim every time you turn on an appliance that circuit is overloaded or has a loose connection.
  • Sparks. If sparks appear when you insert or remove a plug, they could be a sign of loose connections.
  • Warm electrical cord. If an electrical cord is warm to the touch, the cord is underrated or defective.
  • Frequent blown fuses or broken circuits. A fuse or circuit breaker that keeps tripping is an important warning sign of problems.
  • Frequent bulb burnout. A light bulb that burns out frequently is a sign that the bulb is too high a wattage for the fixture.
