My Oster DuraCeramic 6-Cup Rice Cooker: Review & Cooking Demo 

As a college students who is just trying to become a competent person, learning to use this has come in handy

Thank-you for your wisdom. You are very detailed, which I remarkably appreciated! And, your added bonus, which sold this product, for me is when you actually cooked a pot of rice!!! Outstanding! So, my grade for your video is *"drum roll, please* A+. Be well. Shalom

Got mine today from Target--Black Friday for $10. Thanks for the great video 👍. Looking forward to using it this weekend!

I absolutely love this review. thank u you you said only truths. It wasn’t bias of a review and you compared products n mentioned the diff foods u cooked in it. N even cooked in it for us!!! Ur great

Thank you for your detailed instructions on rice cooking. I’m used to cooking rice in a sauce pan. But I’m about to try it the first time. Wish me luck! Again thanks for sharing the info. I so much appreciate it. ❤

This has been the best most comprehensive review I've seen thank you

This is one of the best product reviews I’ve ever seen. Thank you for sharing!

I just bought mine this exact model for $10 and I fell in love with it since the first use, so easy to use with great results if instructions are followed! Very essential to read and follow the instructions! :)

Thank you for such a thorough video!! 😋 You answered EVERY question I had and I'm excited to get started!

Great video! Thank you, I just bought this recently & it’s my first time using a rice cooker. I’ve been doing it old school on the stove. I appreciate the information.

Just bought the new Oster today. Thanks for the video!!!

So far the best review and how to use I’ve seen. Thank you :)

I had the same white one and donated it because it took to long and I thought I was using it wrong. Thank you for this video. Can't wait to try it

Excellent review, really enjoyed and has sealed that I will be purchasing this model. Thank you

Very in depth review. It’s just me and my tiny family. As a new mom I need as much help and free time as possible. This will be my first rice cooker and I will definitely be purchasing this TODAY

I’m so glad I found your review on this Oster Rice cooler . I’ve never owned a rice cooker and I’m tired of cooking rice on the stove top. I absolutely didn’t want to spend a 100$ plus on a rice cooker . I’m sold on the Oster Rice cooker . Thank you for the review. Awesome!!

I love your review! I just bought one so exited to use it thank you for the tip on the cup

Wow,very honest review. Thanks

I settled on this one, particularly because there's just me in the house. I tell you. I've become a rice-cooking fool. And OMG. The job it does on rolled oats!!! I share your enthusiasm for this cooker.

Thank you for this complete and helpful RU-vid! This is my first rice cooker. I bought the Oster Waffle Maker with DuraCeramic, so when I saw this little rice cooker, I was happy to try it. We love the waffle maker, using Better Crocker's 1948 Pancake Recipe, so I now can't wait to use this new appliance as a rice maker and oatmeal maker! It was the only rice cooker offered at our local Target, still $19.99, in 2019. It's a good one, because it's a healthy cooking surface and is fast and efficient. GREAT review, and thanks again.

Great job on explaining, I went out and bought that oster rice cooker solely on this review and I definitely pleased with this purchase. Thank you

Thank you so much I cooked my rice perfectly today!!

Just ordered this for drive up pickup at target for 16$ bucks! This review was so resourceful , thank you!

Thanks for the review

I am SO glad to have found this video! Wanted to make rice in my new rice cooker but I lost my instruction manual. I made rice last night by following your lead and it was perfect. I'm going to use it all of the time now! Would have never known to wash my rice well without your advice. Thanks for posting!

Very detailed information. Thank you so very much this was very helpful.❤

Thanks for the review. I have been online all day today and yesterday looking at rice cookers that don't stick. Going to get this one at Target. Thanks again.

I just came across this video cause I bought mine today at Target & your video was so helpful! For someone who doesn’t know how to cook rice I can say I’m excited to try making rice on this baby 😊

So helpful. I just got this rice cooker today and felt like an idiot as I couldn't understand how much water to add! This replaces my 25+ year old rice cooker I got at a garage sale and have been battling with stuck rice for years. The Oster cooker is amazing, so easy and makes great rice! Thanks for this!

Such a great and helpful review!

I'm so happy I stumbled my way here! I've been conflicted on what rice cooker to buy and what is worth its price. Your review has made it easier for me to make a decision! Ordering mine now! Thank you got your review! Subscribing for more helpful wisdom 😊

Just got one today and your video is the first I clicked on to see how to work this slow cooker out. I just moved on my own and learning how to cook little by little! Making rice and chicken!!! Wish me luck! Lol

I brought this today for black friday!! 10.00 at Target!! I can't wait!!

watch your long video at work nothing happening here night shift so felt good hearing someone give their honest review. and I was almost close to buying the other cooker but not anymore :)

Thank you for this video, it narrowed it down as to which rice cooker to get, also I had to tell you, that you sound a lot like Edie Falco from TV show Nurse Jackie & Tommy. I so love her.. Again thank you for the Review! Be Blessed!

I am not sure if you read these comments anymore, but I would like to say that I loved this review! I am headed to the store today to grab one of these but the 1-star reviews scared me! Thank you for clearing up all the questions and concerns I had. Amazing review:)

This was so helpful!! 👍🏽🙌🏽

Thank you for this. Excellent instructions.

literally luv u for this review because the directions on the paper didnt make sense to me as a young girl in her first apartment lol ur amazing!!!

Great & Helpful video!!

Thank U for your Tips! Great Video

Thank you!

Such a great video !!!

Very helpful, thank you

Amazing video, thank you so much!!

I am with you on having a nonstick for a rice cooker. I did not know about the cup and I agree that you need to keep the manual. I think the model you chose is perfect. A new friend and will visit with you again. Susan

Great video! I recently started switching to non toxic cookware after watching a documentary on teflon. Thanks!

I just wanted to confirm it is okay/normal for the inner pot to be so loose after I put it in. Phew! We have had this rice cooker for ages as a gift, but we already had a rice cooker so we hadn't used it. No manual, parts spread throughout the house, so this helped me make sure I had the right parts and everything was working as it should. Thanks so much!

Fantastic video. this is my first rice cooker and i was given it without the instruction manual, so i had no idea how to use it. Thank You

I got mine from a friend but seems to be a bit different. There is just a max line on mine inside the metal kettle. I will be testing out the finger knuckle method instead so rinse, dump and add water. I added a little salt as you did and some butter to help from sticking and flavor. Thank you for all the help!

Thank you. I didn’t know how to use it

I just moved into my dorm without a meal plan and need to start making my own meals and this was so helpful. Thank you!

Really great review. I ordered one from target, they only had three left. I've always cooked rice on the stovetop but this just looked too convenient. I rarely shopped at target before but since the CV virus thing came out I use their store pickup quite a bit.

Good review the cup and instructions confused me, but thanks to your video I get it! Thank you

Thanks for the detailed review, especially about the measuring cup. I wanted to point out that the listings on Amazon for this model, the ceramic pot, say that the power is 700 watts, not 350W. The same model but with the "diamond force non-stick" pot is 350W. Power consumption for me is a big thing. So I need to make sure. 700 watts to cook rice is too much power, my instant pot is only 650W.

Great review! Currently looking for a rice cooker and veggies steamer since me and my husband will start meal prepping. You sold me. Add to my cart target!! Will watch your brown rice video since my husband wants brown but I prefer white lol

AMAZING REVIEW!!! I’m so happy I bought mine today. Currently making my first batch of rice lol. I hope I did it right 😬

Thank you, thank you.

Thanks for the video. I have this one and learned some things! I don't like that the "Keep Warm" stays on, I wish it would cut off after 10 minutes because you can't "set it and forget it" with this cooker like my old one that broke. I'm going to go dig out the plastic measuring cup that came with the pot now. :)

*Thank you madam for the video. I am going to Target to buy this rice cooker. I moved from India to the US last week and almost struggling to cook rice using a pressure cooker. I think this will be much easier to use.*

I just purchased this for a xmas gift to a friend. I'm trying to find recipes for him and I come across you video. After watching, I want to purchase one myself😂

Great video thank you 😊😊

Thank you

Thanks!

I’m a new subscriber! I have a dash 2 cup rice cooker and I love it but not big enough for some things I want to cook. I was set on buying an aroma from Walmart (not digital) for around $14.95 or something. Found your video and I was determined to get this Oster lol. I had to drive 35 minutes away to our nearest Target and I got the last one! I wanted it like yesterday lol. Thanks for sharing! You gave awesome information! Will you be making other foods like soups and 1 pot meals?

Thank you for explaining the water to rice ratio. It was not very clear in the directions. This was gift I got for myself and relative.

OMG! You are the only one here who covered every corner of my questions I had about the dura-ceramic, titanium infused one(The one to the left). I was going to buy the red one, but something told me to look at the reviews. There's a lady who made a RU-vid video who made the only mess in her kitchen, simply because she didn't wash the rice(🤣)! Thank you for your informative video!!! PS, yes, I will make sure I read the brochure and I will hold on to the enclosed "measuring cup". 👍 QUESTION: Can I add oil to the steamer, in addition to salt to cook the rice?

Thanks for the detailed instructions. The Oster manual is vague and does not confirm the water level. Obvious but necessary - thanks!

Your video was fantastic I just bought that rice cooker and now I feel very comfortable thank you. What is your recommendation for brown rice and other grains like farro?

thanks !! Learn a lot from your video tbh. I will def buy this! I did not know your suppose to rise your rice too this whole time I've been doing it wrong. and it def shows because when I heat my rice it bubbles and junky gets on my pots. How long does it take to make oatmeal?? I usual nuke mines in the microwave 1min 30 sec

I wanted to post a tip about rinsing rice. When I make over one oster cup of rice I just add water to to rice in the pot and swirl it around, usually two times. Surprisingly, if you just tip the pot and drain out the water it doesn't drip all down the bottom of the bowl as you would think it would. One less thing to wash.

Fantastic review! You covered every point I was curious about in a very straightforward way. We bought a ceramic earthenware Japanese donabe to make rice without aluminum or nonstick coatings, but it takes 40 minutes and you have to watch it like a hawk. I'm interested in this one for the time and convenience, and your video sold me. I'll be picking one up tomorrow!

Titanium is some cool shit. Welding it not fun but it's like a cross of aluminum and stainless steel thank you for the review

Great video. Hows this little cooker holding up since your review? Is the ceramic still fine?

Good job on the video and thank you Subbed and liked 😊

What I put the same measurements for brown rice ? Btw this was really helpful Thank You so much !👍🏼

Is this Oster rice cooker better than the other brands like panasonic and aroma.

Thanks great video I had friend cooked soup with chicken and it cooked in 20 min! Have you tried soups??

Finally somebody that breaks it down simply GOOD JOB!

This was very helpful but I still have concerns over the health risks of using duraceramic cookware. I am thinking about buying the Aroma rice cooker with a stainless steel bowl, even if it takes longer to cook.

Washing the rice before cooking made all the difference-you were right...

Thank you for this video. So if I only add 1 cup of rice. Do I only add 1 cup of water?

Question. I buy pre seasoned rice Zatarains brand. should that be pre washed as well? and that effect the seasoning and the taste. Thanks

my mom's bf threw away the manual and that's exactly why I am here cause I have no idea how to use use it lmaooo how did they expect me to know? I don't understand how people who throw instructions away live their lives lol thank you!

Can you make Chinese pork buns in the steamer portion? Can you make rice and beans in the rice cooking portion? Are there any recipes or cook books for the small model?

Hello, what am I missing? I finally used it today and the rice on the bottom was burnt and it was stuck. I rinsed the rice first, used one cut of rice using the plastic cup it came with and filled it to the 1 line inside. But I did use chicken broth instead of water. It seems like it cooked too long and not enough water. Thanks

I received my Oster 6 cup today. I followed the instructions to the "T" and I did not have your same experience. I wash one cup of rice five times until the water was clear. I put one cup of brown rice into the pot, and I added one cup of water. I did use the Oster cup. The water came to a fierce, rapid boil. Within 20 minutes the water had cooked all the way down, and the rice was still very hard, it had not even softened any. So, I added water, enough to cover the rice. Again, within 20 minutes, the water cooked down. This time the rice had softened some, but still not done. What did I do? 😄 That was a total of 40 minutes. So, I added yet more water, covering the rice again, and I waited another 20 minutes. That's 60 minutes. I'm thinking maybe third time is a charm. lol By now, the rice has turned from brown to white and looks a hit mess. 😳 🤣 I gave up. I'll try again tomorrow. This time, I'll use one cup of rice and three cups of water from the start. I don't know what else to do. Advice anyone? I would appreciate the help. Thanks! 🤗

Really hoping you’ll see this comment today! The little plastic cup that you tell us not to throw away, did you say that holds 8 oz of rice?? Just curious because I’m having a hard time when a recipe calls for 8 oz of rice but these things need the rice measured by cups to get a good rice to water ratio :/

Could you please tell me the size of the lid? I can’t find it on any description. I need to replace the lid. I would love to use my rice cooker again, I understand you can find it separately online Oster but I thinking about thrifting a lid.

Hello do make brown rice the same way?

was on e-bay, ready to buy one but didn't, when you mentioned the rice sticks. Thank you.

Does it matter what kind of rice. Brown rice, white rice, long grain, short grain, instant rice?

Hit mine during back time school special at Target for $16

I use mine to make rice and ramen.

What about brown rice? Does it have a button for brown rice?

I just grab it, it's on sale for fifteen dollars at target to replace my aroma rice cooker which is 3 cup

RTFM... Had to look it up but I should have known what it means because it has always driven me crazy that people complain about results but then say, "uh, no, I didn't read the manual".

You can also steam veges and other grains??

the cup thing is accurate it's 160ml which is 2/3c. it's metric and based on asian typical servings.

Can I find this in Walmart or amazon?? The target is too far from me ??
