Questions & Answers
CRP-, the model I purchased. HS0657F is a Korean-only speaker. Other models who speak English or both languages, I believe, exist.
Yes, it has happened. However, it should only be used with white rice.
The standard voltage on an electrical wall outlet in the United States is 110 volts. 220 Volts are used in the rest of the world except in the United States. This rice cooker's internal battery is used to remember the time you set when you first use it. Even if the dead battery is not replaced, it will still work, but you will have to manually set the time each time you use it.
The instruction book is written in English. Korean is a language in Korea.

Moving from a $15 Walmart rice cooker to this one is a huge step up in quality, and I can tell the difference. The only drawback is the low-cost nature of the product. With this little piece of magic, sticking to a low-carb diet just got a lot more difficult! br>br>Cleaning is a breeze. The inner pot does not adhere to the outer pot in any way. and the majority of the parts are detachable, making cleaning a breeze. The rice cooker even has a steam cleaning option, but according to some of my friends, it only does a mediocre job. br>br>IH technology pressure cooking worked wonders in terms of cooking rice quickly and evenly. My five-year-old $20 rice cooker started sticking and took forever to cook, so I decided to buy this Cuckoo rice cooker. Cleaning was difficult because presoaking is nearly always required, and cooking 2 cups of brown rice takes over an hour. Coming home at 6 p. m. , knowing that everything would be ready in 20 minutes but the rice would not, was becoming increasingly inconvenient. br>br>So, if you're currently using a low-cost rice cooker and are unsure about the price, go ahead and click buy. There's no turning back once you've tried good rice. br>br>Addition 6/20/2020br>I tried cooking mixed brown and white rice in turbo mode and it worked like magic. I'm used to brown rice being dry and hard, so I don't eat much of it, but this one was so good that I couldn't tell it was brown rice and finished the whole bowl. So much for low-carbohydrate eating.
I added a page from the package's manual detailing what's included. br>Update number two: I've been cooking with the GABA function, and it's fantastic for nutrient-dense brown rice, with excellent texture and digestion support. Restore the one star I took away to a perfect score of five. For cleaning, many components can be disassembled. If you follow these steps, you'll always get good, clean rice. br>br>Update: The five-star rating was reduced by one. I can't seem to get the cooker to work in English. The paper manual does not have it. I looked on the internet and it appeared that the black version could be programmed for English instruction, whereas the white version had no such information. To cook rice, I need to learn Korean. br>br>The Cuckoo IH HS0657F rice cooker gives off a positive first impression. Each component is well-made and has a solid feel to it. The inner pot is made of thick steel and has a nice nonstick finish. Unlike the aluminum inners found in many low-cost cookers, this one is made of steel. The gold tone finish on the inner pot's outer wall is stunning. On the outside, there is a uniform white plastic finish. The device is manufactured in Korea. I'll keep you up to date as I use it. br>br>The first impression is a five-star rating. br>br>Pros The fit and finish are excellent. Inner pot is lovely and of good quality. The X Wall Diamond pot is well worth the money, with thick stainless steel construction on the detachable cover and Control Plate. The price isn't cheap, but it's a good deal. br>br>Cons There are a lot of functions, which means you'll have to read a lot before you can use them. Changing the time is as simple as consulting the manual. In Korean, the cooker is the default. And it was quite loud. I was planning on setting it up and surprising my wife, but that's not going to happen.
Since 2006, I've had a Cuckoo pressure cooker, but it died. This one overcooks the rice and talks excessively. br>Energy-saving mode and turning on/off the keep-warm feature were also difficult to use. There are far too many buttons. br>Because my husband does not speak Korean, everything was delivered in Korean. Instead, I'll buy a Zojirushi. br>Our Zojirushi also broke, but the non-pressurized induction heat version from the early 2000s produced excellent rice, albeit a little slower than the Cuckoo. Waiting is worth it for the flavor, and induction heating keeps the rice fresher for longer after 2-minutes. Three days of warming up in the oven.
I've used a variety of rice cookers, including generic, instantpot, and zojirish (high end and average) models. I used to use the instant pot because I wanted to keep the number of appliances on my counter to a minimum. I can't live without my pressure cooker and rice cooker. Both can be accomplished with the instant pot. The instantpot, on the other hand, is unsightly (at least in my opinion). It cooks well and can be used in a variety of ways. Rice preparation isn't ideal, but it's quick (especially when compared to Zojirushi). And if you want better rice, just soak it for a few minutes before cooking it, and you'll have Zojirushi-level rice. br>Anyway, I bought this cuckoo rice cooker because it looked good and had good reviews. br>br>Benefits:
- It appears to be in good condition. br>- Good quality (heavy and well-coated inner pot) and excellent craftsmanshipbr>- If you're a rice connoisseur, this is a must-have machine. It allows you to customize how you want your rice to be cooked (too complicated for me)br>- br>br>Badbr>- faster than zojirushi No pressure cooking option for other foods (which surprised me because it's essentially a pressure cooker but has no manual pressure cooking option)br>- I had to mute the voice because it seemed to be only in Korean. br>- The menu navigation is not user-friendly. br>- br>Priceybr>- It hasn't produced noticeably better rice cooking results than the Instantpot (immerse rice first), so I'll have to try again. br>br>Anyway, it's a good rice cooker. Rice and rice variations are the only things it can cook. Other types of food are not suitable.
