Rice Cooker Buying Guide

Choosing the right rice cooker in Singapore can be surprisingly tricky, as most modern rice cookers do a great job of cooking rice. The first thing to consider is capacity. If you have a large family or frequently host guests, a larger rice cooker will be more convenient. Otherwise, a small or mini rice cooker might be sufficient.

Beyond basic rice cooking, some electric rice cookers offer additional functions like steaming vegetables, slow cooking, or even baking cakes. Consider whether you need these extra features and how they might fit into your cooking habits. Some rice cookers also offer specialised settings for different types of rice, like brown rice or sushi rice.

When choosing a rice cooker in Singapore, opt for durable, food-grade materials. Non-stick inner pots ensure even cooking and easy cleaning, while stainless steel and aluminium provide durability. Ceramic pots are another excellent choice for their non-stick properties and easy maintenance.

Electric Rice Cooker Prices in Singapore

At Gain City, we offer a wide range of electric rice cookers to suit every need and budget. Standard rice cookers typically range from S$30 to S$70, while multifunctional models with features like steaming and slow cooking can range from S$100 to S$550.

Frequently Asked Questions About Rice Cookers

How many people can a mini rice cooker feed?

A mini rice cooker is typically designed for one to two people. You can also use mini rice cookers to cook leftovers or smaller portions of rice without wasting energy.

What are the advantages of using a rice cooker?

Electric rice cookers offer perfect rice consistently, with convenient "set it and forget it" cooking. They free up stove space, often have multi-function cooker capabilities (like steaming), and keep your rice warm for hours.

What ratio of rice to water should I use in a rice cooker?

The general rule of thumb for white rice is a 1:1.5 ratio of rice to water. However, the ideal ratio may vary depending on the type of rice, the rice cooker model, and personal preferences. It's always best to consult your rice cooker's instruction manual for specific recommendations.

Is it better to boil rice or use a rice cooker?

While both methods can produce cooked rice, an electric rice cooker would be more convenient, as you don't need to monitor the cooking process. They also often have keep-warm functions and multi-cooker capabilities. 

If you need rice cooked quickly, an electric pressure cooker might be a faster alternative.

Can I use a rice cooker as a steamer?

Yes, modern rice cookers come with steaming baskets or trays that allow you to steam vegetables, fish, or dumplings while the rice cooks below. However, a dedicated steamer for food might offer more versatility and better results for steaming a wider variety of foods.
