Glad I Finally Got Around to Using This Gift!

Pros The Salton 3-Cup Rice Cooker is convenient and easy to clean--a great small appliance.
Cons none so far!
Recommended it? Yes

I guess you could say I'm a little slow in trying new things.  I got the Salton 3-Cup Rice Cooker-model RA3A as a gift last year.  Until rcently, the little box sat on a back shelf in my pantry.  While doing a little cleaning, I saw the box and decided to try it out. ... Read full review »

It is worth your money to get a higher quality cooker!

Pros Small and cooks the perfect amount for 2-3 people
Cons Very messy and the rice dries out
Recommended it? No

Looks:
The rice cooker itself is compact and lightweight. It is about 6 inches x 6 inches. The interior container is lightweight aluminum and has markings on the side to help you measure the proper amount of rice and water. As far as technology, this rice cooker is very basic ? it has a lever... Read full review »

Pros Great rice cooker. Durable. Hasn't failed me yet!
Cons None.
Recommended it? Yes

Well, I will have to start out by admitting that while I can cook virtually anything , I perpetually burned rice! I don't know why, I guess we all have that one thing we just can't get right in the kitchen. My mother suggested a rice cooker. While in my own mind this was admitting failure over...

Save your Money, Buy a different brand and quality

Pros 3 cup cooker, good for 2 people.
Cons Keeps breaking down and can't be used again.
Recommended it? No

Wow. I must say, I know that having problems with a product can be normal. You buy something, you expect it to work and if it doesn't, you replace me and your chances are good that the first one was just a fluke and the 2nd one will work.

Well, this is now my 4th Salton Rice Cooker. First... Read full review »

Don't buy it

Pros Cheap, doesn't take up much of space
Cons Under or overcooks rice, messy, hard to clean
Recommended it? No

I was pretty disappointed in this rice cooker. Following the instructions results in partially uncooked rice and the instructions are very simple, so the problem is with the rice cooker. The cooker is fairly messy and inner metal pot is hard to clean... a lot of the rice sticks to it, and you can... Read full review »

This rice cooker died on me

Pros Ease of use, the rice measure is nice to have.
Cons Food stuck to the bottom of the pan, messy, lightweight construction
Recommended it? No

I live alone and so am not often needing a large quantity of rice for meals. I thought a small, inexpensive rice cooker would be just the thing. This one did not fulfill that expectation.

When I first opened it, it looked like just the ticket. If you're familiar with cookers at all it was... Read full review »

Pros Only cost around $20, doesn't take up much room
Cons Doesn't work reliably, has a strange metal smell
Recommended it? No

I have had this 3 cup rice cooker for about 6 months now, and I have not been pleased with the performance. Here are the reasons why I am disappointed:
1- does not cook rice consistently
2- has a strange, metal smell to the cooking bowl. I have tried cleaning it with a variety of cleaners... Read full review »

Pros cheap
Cons hard to clean
Recommended it? No

UPDATED 4/11/2004

I bought this product because I liked eating rice, but wanted to find an easier way to make it. I knew someone who had a rice cooker and I thought it would be convenient. I had seen other, more expensive brands, but bought this one because it was cheap - before I spent... Read full review »

Pros Inexpensive, small, very easy to use
Cons Designed to fail
Recommended it? No

I bought the Salton RA3 Rice Cooker at a Sears department store for just $19.99. I had been shopping for a rice cooker for a while and was turned off by the $50+ price tags that many models command. I bought this one because I liked the small size, trusted Sears to sell a quality product, and... Read full review »

Everybody Cooks Rice..Just not with Salton

byonlygirl8 Mar 26, 2001
12 Helpfuls 13 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros Just right size for a single person or a couple
Cons Not durable
Recommended it? No

I bought a Salton 3 cup Automatic Rice Cooker from Bed, Bath and Beyond for $19.99. It is most inexpensive rice cooker that they have and it seems sturdy.

When I got home, I was so excited to use it the first time. I washed the aluminum rice holder and plastic spoon in warm soapy water,... Read full review »
