Panasonic SRTMJ181 Digital 10-in-1 Multi Cooker for $89.98

Anyone have any reviews?

10cup size is pretty big for small family.

Grabbed one, thanks OP!

How does it compare to https://www.costco.ca/t-fal-10-in-1-mul ... 33602.html priced at $99.99. Almost same features

Isn't this essentially an InstantPot?

Also, it doesn't look like this can be a deep fryer

better looking than the IP

How long to cook plain white rice?

I got this T-Fal one 6 months ago. It is a better T-Fal model than the one at Costco. It works great for cooking rice.

I prefer the stsinless steel pan that the instant pot comes with...no non stick coating which I'm always leery about. Personally prefer the look of the instant pot as well. There's a huge community of instant pot users which has created a wealth of recipes and uses.

I have the Panasonic Rice Cooker - and it's amazing! What sets it apart this has too:

• Microcomputer controlled Fuzzy Logic Technology takes the guesswork completely out of cooking

I have an instant that was supposed to cook rice and fails in comparison.

Looks like a deal!

So how do you cook rice in a instant pot i.e. how much water relative to rice quantity in the instant pot? Advantage of rice cookers is they have markings so you can't go wrong.

• 10 Pre-set cooking settings, including White Rice, Brown Rice, Steam, Stew, Slow Cook, Soup, Cake, Brownie, Compote, and Porridge. The most versatile cooking unit with great value.


WHAT IS A MULTI COOKER?
[*]The multi-cooker combines a number of appliances. It looks similar to a slow cooker, but it can cook at much more different temperature and in several programs
[*]A multi-cooker can be a slow cooker, an oven, a microwave, a rice cooker, a steamer, a pressure pot, a deep fryer, a number of appliances all in one. Multi cookers can cook food very quickly at high temperatures and in different ways than a slow cooker. In this sense, they are the opposite of slow cookers.

I don't see anything, even on the Panasonic site, that says this is a pressure cooker. Also, be aware that the membrane covering on this type of switch/button eventually split with use so, while the switch/button may still work, gunk/water can get under the membrane. Most, but not all, Instant Pots and [probably] most other digital cookware has the same type of membrane over the switches. In my experience, the membrane cracking is common on all of them. I won't say that it's caused a problem for me but it's annoying when the rest of the unit is still in pristine condition.

Virgin Mobile members who haven't used their code can get $20 off the Costco one, if you can get the order over $100 somehow.

[FYI must get code by end of month. Good till June 7.]

Yep....1 to 1...sometimes even 1 cup rice to 3/4 c water. Depends on the type of rice. There's no moisture escape. Love it. And it's super easy to clean. Just let it sit with a bit of water for 10 minutes then wash as usual.
