TLOG Mini Rice Cooker 2.5 Cups Uncooked, Healthy Ceramic Coating Portable Rice Maker, 1.2L Travel Rice Pot Small for 1-3 People, Personal Rice maker, Food Steamer, Multi-cooker for Grains, Oats

I needed a rice cooker for my lengthy road trips. Paired with my 500w inverter this rice cooker is great. I trialed a car plug in 100w unit and took over an hour to make simple rice. This unit pulls 230w at warm or cook settings and takes 15minutes to get the job done. I’m starting to boil at 6minutes. I have done full meals in this set and loving the utility of this set. The price tag is more than I’d want to pay but pulled the trigger anyway for my needs. There are others out there but i like that there aren’t exposed buttons, the suction cup lid holder, the removable heating bowl and steam tray. The unit is heftier than my 100w unit so stays put in the car better. Having a traditional 120v house plug it doesn’t fall out of the socket as the car adapter typically does. Less monitoring while driving because of this. The set doesn’t deplete my battery while the engine is off and doesn’t steam up my car noticeably. Very happy and good to know the bowl itself is available to be replaced at cost if needed. Will see how this holds up. I’ve purchased bamboo utensils to not mar the inside of the bowl. The lid is even easy to clean. Not much rice gum noted while cooking so I’m happy to wipe it down while on a trip. Highly recommended.

The media could not be loaded. Let me just say that this little rice cooker packs a punch for just 2 people. Can easily feed 4 in one sitting no doubt.I am not too sure of some bad experiences that other reviewers had but, mine definitely sold me for this price point & versatility.Had this running on a Bigblue Cellpowa 500 solar powered generator with 48% of juice left in the system. Pulled a steady 225w continuously for about 25 - 30 minutes until completion, granted that I had 4 cups (cup that was provided) cooking Nishiki premium grade rice. So I did yield close to 2 actual cups of rice.The results of the rice from this cooker was chef’s kiss 🤌🏼 I did allow the rice to set for 10 minutes after it was finished cooking (stated in directions) & it came out the same as cooking it in my normal sized rice cooker. Evenly cooked, no crunchy rice, just perfection.Reason I did buy this was to run off of my solar power station in case of emergencies and to cook a small amount of rice quick for the wife & I without using too much power. Can’t speak on cooking other things but, I have read that ramen & other dishes can be made with great results.My key takeaways from this rice cooker:-Read instructions before utilizing the unit-Low wattage draw if you’re looking to save on power (225w continuous) time depends on amount of rice/dishes-Portable, easy to store, disassemble & clean-Value for your money-Do not overfill & you won’t experience spillage 🤷🏻‍♂️-Great if you have limited space-Enjoy if you have one or already ordered one, you won’t regret it!Aloha! 🤙🏼

Got it yesterday, made Rice tonight. It worked great. The rice turned out perfect. Max 2.5 uncooked rice. Great for 2 to 4 people, depending on your serving size. Very pleased.

after sifting through hundreds of reviews, dimensions, and videos, i threw the dice on the tlog. there is nothing wrong with this rice cooker. it could be refined in some areas, but the ads are not misleading. if my parents ate rice at home, this would be perfect for them. it's easy to use, compact, cheap-ish, and makes the right amount for two people to have a meal (with minimal left-overs). most importantly, it cooks rice how they would expect it to be cooked.not a set it and forget it. poor venting means that if you don't drain the lid when the timer alarms, all the condensed water trapped in the lid will drip back down on top of your rice, which is not good. also, it needs to be stirred, if not immediately served, because even the keep warm setting will completely dry out the bottom in no time. it doesn't get scorched, which could be nice and used for soup. it just dried up into hard, semi-transparent plastic-like grains. if you forget it and leave it on for any number of hours, the rice becomes inedible. if you unplug it to eat later, the rice becomes a shadow of itself. so cook it, eat it promptly, and don't use for leftovers.shopper perspective: i ordered this after my japanese rice cooker just stopped working after several years. i live in a micro-apartment; so sizing down from a 6-cup/uncooked rice capacity, which is not bulky to begin with, was my guiding requirement. to give a glimpse into my kitchen space issues: there are no counters; just a reduced-size stove, next to a half-size sink, next to a half-size smeg frig.this is the third rice cooker i've lived with, and it ranks fourth in terms of cooking quality. the first was in college. a roommate had the kind with just the lever you depress to start cooking, and which pops up to keep it warm (i.e., slowly drying it out). it made good rice. the second was the zojirushi one that just died. it made rice as decent as the prior one. the third on is the tlog. it's third out of the ones i've used personally, but fourth in terms of homemade rice i've eaten. the best rice I've ever eaten in a home was korean rice made in a korean rice/pressure cooker: hands down the best.so why didn't i just buy one of those? two reasons (other than a digestive one): (1) price and (2) size. my fantasy cuckoo one, in the size i wanted, was several hundreds of dollars more than this tlog. i figured the tlog would be at least as good as the one-lever cooker from my college days, but after months, it's become intolerable.there's nothing wrong with the rice it cooks, but there's something off about it, which is difficult to explain. for example, when cooked, the rice seems sticky, but once it's served, a mound of it falls flat. i typically eat with a korean utensil setting--short stainless chopsticks and a long-handle spoon. with this set up, the rice is supposed to be eaten with the spoon. so its scattering isn't a problem, but still. it's not that i don't use enough/too much water. i've tried many variations.mostly, i think one just can't get the water/rice ratio right in this cooker because of how the heat is programmed. it boils it on what must be a really relatively high setting and then drops, but i think it's too much heat for the volume, even on the keep warm. i know as soon as i open it that something is off just by how it looks. i am aware that the kind of rice i use requires less water than what is marked on the inside. if i use that much water, which i tried, it will be soggy. the best i've been able to cook is thai long-grain rice that gets blown up (not blown out) but is slightly dry like chinese takeout. i need it to be moister, slightly stickier without being soggy. besides, for decades, i've always successfully measured water for rice using my pointer finger. otherwise, i can usually tell justly looking at it. with this one, i just can't figure it out; even with all the testing i've done to try. when i go back through consumer videos, i notice it now.setting challenges: one perk of this tlog is its congee setting, but i can't make congee because it boils over and blows out the rice. it makes soggy congee. i just can't use thai rice for that in there. however, the given ratio will work well enough with japanese medium-grain rice. i've found the other settings equally frustrating because of the boil over problem. and ps, i don't even remotely overfilling it.also, i can't steam because too much heat accumulates plus the steam. so the difference between the gentler steaming method versus just rapid boiling disappears. the heat issue is related to its venting. it doesn't vent well. so for example, after the rice cooks, all the condensed water drips back onto the rice, making it unevenly soggy. or, on other settings, it boils over. it's too hot. when you see the food, you get a sense that everything seized up tight in response to being attacked by heat.at this point in the review, i may seem overly critical or too-high maintenance. however, there really are so many rice cookers (of higher classes) that execute everything perfectly every time. they are just too big or too expensive. i'm looking among the 3-cup rice size and less than $50 class. shoppers in my group maybe are not entitled to the same tech to cook our rice. do i have to spend $500? sh/d i just use a pot with a towel?overall, the rice the tlog cooks is not bad, but it leaves me feeling disappointed. ultimately i developed sad feelings about the rice cooked. so i'm trying a new-ish toshiba model as a potential replacement; cooks the same amount of rice and was about $75.rice background: i grew up with parents who rarely considered eating rice, and, if they did, used a double boiler to steam it. the emphasis then was on each grain not sticking to any other grain, such as uncle ben's. when cooked this way, the rice becomes engorged but oddly dry. it always needs some kind of sauce, if only butter, to be palatable. (i can enjoy jasmine and korean rice plain with just seaweed paper.) other than chinese takeout rice, that was the only rice prep i knew until i was in my teens and ate thai jasmine rice in a vietnamese american home, and then my twenties when i had korean rice cooked in a korean rice/pressure cooker and indian basmati rice via takeaway. each of these is tasty in its own amazing way.my everyday eating preference is thai, long-grain jasmine rice. i really like homemade korean medium-grain rice: it's actually my overall favorite, but i feel like my body has a hard time digesting it. it's my favorite, but i can't eat it everyday. so, i want to enjoy the jasmine rice as much as homemade korean rice. they are not the same, and should be evaluated along different criteria, but one's enjoyment can be equally intense. well-cooked thai long-grain jasmine rice is lovely: it's light, fragrant, sticky, yummy, and versatile. it pairs across cuisines better, imo, than any other rice.

I love it. It's cute and compact and makes good rice.

It's the second one I bought after almost two years I dropped and broke my last on. It's easy to use . It cooks rice perfectly. In the all American set it and forget it way. Durable , I had to trip carrying it to break it . I launched it into the ceiling and then it hit the floor. So it took a 10 ft drop tosmash the outside casings. It still worked, but I was concerned about wiring the might have been damaged. So I bought a new one. Works just as well as the last one. Great product.
