Oster 4715 10-Cup Rice Cooker

Pros: Generous capacity and consistent results. Steamer basket for added versatility.

Cons: No ON/OFF switch. MUST be unplugged when not in use.

The Bottom Line: The Oster Rice Cooker does what you buy it for, and a little bit more. Dishwasher-safe cleanup seals the deal.

Review: Cooking rice on the stove is an iffy proposition for even the most skilled chef. You just can't dial your burners to the same precise simmer every time, nor can anyone really judge the exact moment when the water "returns to boil". The rice cycle on most ...

Pros: Easy to use, easy to clean, makes a perfect pot of rice.

Cons: No off option.

The Bottom Line: This is a very easy to use, attractive rice cooker. I would recommend it to anyone.

Review: I received this rice cooker as a gift for my wedding. I fell in love immediately after my first use. My husband eats rice with EVERYTHING so we always have white rice on hand. I tried cooking on the stove several times and always ended up with bad ...

Pros: Good price,large capacity,easy to use,has non stick pot. Dont cost $125 up.

Cons: steamer tray is too small, unit needs a beeper & adjustable thermostat

Review: This good looking rice cooker is priced right for its capacity & quality. To avoid steaming the woodwork I turn the rice cooker so that the power button faces the wall. My rice cooker sat unused for a little while. After trial & error & experimenting ...

Pros: Easy to clean and easy to store

Cons: None really if you don't mind the crust.

Review: Regarding the "crust" on the bottom, I have found a trick - if you let the rice soak for 20-30 minutes prior to cooking it, it will have less of the crust and just slightly brown it. Also, making a big batch (4 cups of rice or more) makes a difference. ...

Pros: Durable, easy to use, forms the "crust"

Cons: none yet

Review: I have read all the reviews complaining about "burnt rice" but it sounds like a case of the "rice crust." When researching rice cookers a few friends warned me there are Asian rice cookers and Persian rice cookers. Persian ones (And sometimes ...

Pros: Great rice, features found in more expensive cookers, low price!

Cons: Haven't found any.

Review: Bought our Oster Inspire rice cooker at Target for $30. It has a number of features found on much more expensive models: lock-down lid, 12 hour keep warm timer, steamer so you can steam something above while your rice cooks below. The rice is ...

Pros: easy to clean

Cons: none

Review: I found the Oster Deluxe Multi-Use Rice Cooker (very similar to 4715) at a Goodwill store for 10 dollars. It looked new, everything complete. After reading all reviews I had some low expectations, but I have to say that I cooked brown rice with some ...

Pros: nice look, good rice, great price

Cons: the measuring cup i found to be useless. use your own.

Review: very good for the price. used it for the first time last night. just make sure you follow the directions that come with it carefully and the rice should come out very well. ...

Pros: Attractive

Cons: Rice always burns
Plug too short

Review: We received this as a holiday present from relatives. No matter what permutation we have tried with the thing it always gives us rice with a burnt bottom layer. Additionally, short plug means that it must function directly under our cabinates and the ...

Pros: Um

Cons: All of it

The Bottom Line: The Bottom Line is this rice cooker makes bad rice.

Review: My old rice cooker died, and I hate to even tell you why. I might have been in a rush and "accidentally" not set it up right, causing it to short out. Maybe. Either way, after all the laughs and smart comments by the family about my lack of cooking ...
