Bear Mini Rice Cooker, 2-Cup Uncooked, Nonstick, Keep Warm, BPA Free, Blue

I fell in love with this rice cooker the moment I saw it on Amazon. The dark blue color with the gold trim is absolutely beautiful and makes it look so much more high-end than your typical kitchen appliance. It’s honestly one of the cutest things on my counter and doesn’t feel bulky or out of place at all. This is actually my first rice cooker, and I wanted something simple for making rice, quinoa, and similar meals more regularly with my busy schedule. This has been perfect for that. It comes with everything you need—a rice paddle, measuring cup, and instructions—and it’s very easy to use. What I really like is how simple the operation is. You just plug it in, add your rice and water, close the lid, and push the lever to start cooking. The mechanism is smart too—it won’t activate unless there’s weight inside from the rice and water, which is a nice safety feature. It runs automatically and cooks for about 30 minutes, so there’s no need to mess with timers or settings. When you first get it, it does recommend running a cycle with water to remove any manufacturing smell, which I did. That step worked perfectly and made sure my first batch didn’t taste like anything but fresh rice. Another huge plus is the size. It’s compact, lightweight, and super easy to find space for on the counter, which is great if you don’t have a lot of room. Overall, I absolutely love this rice cooker. It’s simple, reliable, aesthetically pleasing, and perfect for everyday use. Definitely worth the money and a great addition to a busy lifestyle!

This is a great rice cooker. I have already used it multiple times and have had no issues. The rice does not stick and is a perfect consistency. I was a bit apprehensive about ordering it at first because I saw a few reviews stating that others were having a problem with liquid leaking out of the top while it was cooking. After using mine, I realize that they must be over filling with the liquid. There is a clear line inside that shows you where to add the liquid up to and if you follow that, it does not leak. Perfect for making one or two servings which works out great for me and my husband. Also, a nice sleek look on the counter. I love the blue color. I think it was a great value for the price and I would highly recommend.

Easy to use, clean, and wash... very compact making it counter top friendly without the risk of knocking things over or getting in the way of cooking. Only complaint with this product is it not having an off switch/mode with this model meaning I have to unplug it after every use but that's my bad for not reading the description carefully. All in all great product love the design I wish they did offer a slightly larger option for feeding a family of 4 and up, but for my needs it works just fine feeding 2 to 3 people.

I can’t say I’m crazy about it. Don’t get me wrong it’s an okay product but it seems to almost burn my rice on the bottom. I will say my son likes it. He says he likes the crunchy rice bits, lol 😂. It is really easy to operate!

HAZARD!!! BUYER BEWARE! I bought this, because I rescued a dog from the air force base and the vet took care of him when he was ill and picked up a problem & did not eat for almost three days and told me to make him rice with chicken, as a plain diet. This rice cooker spirted boiling liquid allover, including on my hands, clothing, counter, wall, and other appliances and flooded the counter. I only used a half of cup of rice and cup of water. Many people do not understand that a real rice cooker DOES NOT flood a counter top nor spew boiling fluid allover the place, surrounding the cooker but they think "that is the way they are"!. They are NOT! I did have an original Japanese rice cooker given to me by my Japanese friends once, a real one, and not a drop of fluid spewed anywhere at anytime. Also, I did buy another one years ago, a Tayama, which is much bigger and bulkier which works fine, almost like the original Japanese Rice Cooker. But it is large and bulky. They do not sell a 2-cup rice cooker or even a 5 cup rice cooker which would save space. Your rice cookers should NOT flood anywhere nor leak from the top, nor spew hot fluids on your person, walls, kids, pets, or anything you own in your kitchen! There is a trend of manufacturing rice cookers that are unsafe, which has become the norm though, unfortunately and people think that it is normal. It is NOT normal at all! I have read hundreds of reviews for different rice cookers, all by people who think that flooding is normal and to be expected. This rice cooker is the most dangerous rice cooker I have ever used though. Also, you cannot get liquids into your electrical socket. By a rice cooker spewing liquids at all near or on the electrical socket it would be a potential fire hazard and you can get shocked! Keep your electrical sockets dry. The cord is short and with its spewing and squiring hot liquid, it will affect the electrical socket maybe. Stay fire free! This was one scary rice cooker! Try a Tayama if you want to cook bigger portions.

I have another rice cooker that is also a slow cooker. I use it mostly for beans like dry pinto, black, Lima beans, etc. I decided I wanted a smaller rice cooker too, but wasn’t sure if this one would also cook beans. I can verify that it can be done, but you have to be watchful and keep checking the beans to make sure they don’t sit there in the “keep warm” setting too long because that could make the beans unsafe to eat. What I do is presoak the beans overnight (usually a half cup of dry beans or a little less). I drain the soak water, rinse the beans, then put the beans in the cooker and add water, making sure that along with anything else I add (vegetables, chopped onion, whatever) it doesn’t make the water go higher than the 2 cup line. I set it to cook, keeping an eye on it every 30-45 minutes. If the water is all cooked away before the beans are soft, I add more water and cook it some more, always checking regularly. The beans (or rice) MAY have some “toasty” spots on the bottom (I think that’s because I add many other ingredients like vegetables and tomato sauce). But it’s not too bad. Overall I am happy with this cooker; it’s small enough that it would work well for one or two people, good for traveling (in hotel/motel rooms), for use in dorms or small apartments. Just keep an eye on what you’re cooking, don’t leave it unattended for too long, read the user manual and be careful and take precautions.

For $29.99, I’d recommend this as a great investment for single persons/couples and campus-bound students who enjoy rice at home. ⚠️ PRO TIP: Don’t leave cooked rice in cooker overnight: after about a day, sometimes the rice gets dried out around the edges. This is easily avoided with proper care right after cooking: tupperwear and refrigerate the left-overs. Rice has the same cooking-quality as a full-sized cooker, which can run upwards of $150+ for a nice Tiger or Cuckoo (iykyk 😉). This Bear mini is super cute and aesthetic, taking up no countertop space, supper easy to clean (non-sick Teflon maybe?! 🤓👍) and compact/easy to store (in my small nyc apt kitchen! 😂). I noticed that it doesn’t make the sputter-mess like other mini-cookers I’ve owned. Also, pretty sure mine came with a 1-cup measuring cup and a rice paddle. I’ve re-purchased one for each of my siblings! 🙂 Great product. [‼️PRODUCT-DEVELOPERS: offer more color-ways! 🌈🤓]

Are you kidding me?? I cannot say enough about this little beauty! First it is the perfect size for me and my husband. The rice comes out PERFECT everytime!!! The blue is beautful!! You will not be disappointed. Its so easy to use!! Just follow the instructions. It only takes about 20 - 25 mintutes to cook the most perfect rice ever!

I love this little rice cooker! It makes perfect rice and quinoa! It is simple to use and easy to clean. My only “complaint” is if you plug it in it automatically turns on to “warm”, so if you’re puttering around not paying attention to making rice it sits heating up. Small flaw, but I am learning and I would recommend it to the people who want a stylish effective rice cooker for the casual rice consumption family. (I’ve been told if rice is a staple to your every day, there are other “tip of the line” cookers for “rice snobs”) This one is great!

Bin sehr begeistert, klein, knuffig, tut was er soll. Lässt sich super verstauen.
