The rice cooker/steamer arrives well-packaged in a small box. It is about the size I expected but is much lighter than I thought it would be. There is not much to it. The black pot with the heating element in it, the gray rice pot, a shallow aluminum steamer basket, and a glass lid. A plastic cup for measuring rice and a plastic paddle spoon are also included. There is a small booklet of instructions, but no rice recipes are included.
The rice cooker is pretty basic in operation. It turns on to warming mode when you plug it in, and you start cooking rice by pushing down on the rocker switch in front. The rice cooker automatically switches to warming mode when cooking is complete in about 30 minutes. You have to unplug the unit to turn it off (there is no off switch). The rice cooker works with or without the steaming basket in place. To steam food you have to estimate how long it will need to steam (the instructions provide rough guidelines on the time needed for different foods) and put the steam basket in place about that length of time prior to when the cooker is estimated to shut off. So, for example, if you want to steam some broccoli for 12 minutes you would put the steam basket on the cooker about 18 minutes into its cycle for cooking rice. The instructions tell you not to use metal utensils with the titanium infused rice pot, so I found it odd that the steam basket is aluminum. It remains to be seen if this will damage the coating on the rice basket over time or not. It's worth noting the steam basket is pretty shallow. It is probably adequate for steaming enough vegetables for one or two people at best.
Since we have a separate steamer that is larger and works very well, my wife and I use the rice cooker solely to cook rice. The instructions do not vary for white or brown rice. You have to use the included measuring cup with this cooker and not a conventional measuring cup as each "cup" of rice is actually only 5.33 ounces and not the conventional (American) 8 ounces of rice. If you lose the measuring cup this is just under 3/4 cup using a conventional measuring cup. There are markings on the inside of the rice bowl to show how much water to add depending upon the number of cups of rice you are cooking. It is recommended to wash uncooked rice before adding it to the pot. There are several videos on You Tube that show how to do this with a simple cooking pot, although I purchased a Japanese rice washing bowl from Amazon for this that works much faster and easier. The yield of cooked rice is roughly twice the amount of measured uncooked rice. I find this product does a great job of cooking brown rice. Keep in mind you have to let the rice sit in the cooker with the lid on for about 10-15 minutes after the cooking cycle is completed for it to complete cooking and absorb any remaining moisture. Other reviewers have recommended stirring the rice about halfway through the cooking cycle, and I find this does prevent any rice from sticking to the pot. We have not noticed any water leaking from the steam hole in the lid that has been mentioned by other reviewers, but we only cook 2 cups of rice at any given time, so maybe this occurs with larger batches of rice. Cleanup afterward is pretty easy. None of the rice cooker parts are dishwasher safe, and they have to be washed by hand.
Overall, my wife and I are very pleased with this Oster rice cooker. Its operation is simple and works well for the purpose of cooking rice. The steamer basket is shallow but adequate for one or two people. It is easy to maintain, and since there are no digital electronics involved like more expensive rice cookers I anticipate it will hold up well over time.
Original Review -
I've gone through about 4 of these inexpensive rice cookers over the years until I found this Oster brand with the ceramic pot. To me, the other rice cookers were "disposable" due to the non-stick pot coating (Teflon?) getting scratched and/or getting chipped. Once they acquired scratches or chips, they went in the trash.
After the last one went in the trash, I went looking on Amazon and decided to try out this Oster because of the ceramic pot feature.. I'm happy to report that I've been using it for the past 3 years and the ceramic pot is wonderful. Nothing sticks to it, it's very easy to clean (I only hand wash) and doesn't have even a tiny scratch on its surface (I only use plastic or wood rice paddles as with my other rice cookers). It perfectly cooks my Botan brand medium grain Calrose rice and several brands of long grain white rice.
I feel this rice cooker only has two issues.
1) Status lights on the front panel. They appear to be the same color when lit so a quick glance at the lights doesn't let you know whether it's cooking or just warming. I debated about disassembling the rice cooker to change one of the lights to a blue or green LED but decided I'd rather spend the time fishing or playing Arma 3. So I settled for a ghetto fix...a rectangular piece of paper with the word "Cooking" in size 14 bold font taped over the right side light.
2) Like all rice cookers similar to this, it doesn't have a true "off" setting. I fixed that by ordering a grounded outlet with on/off switch. You plug the switched grounded outlet into your wall outlet and then plug the rice cooker into the switched grounded outlet. Search Amazon for "Grounded Plug with on off switch". I also used the same solution for my Instant Pot Duo
I see that a couple of other brands now offer ceramic pots with their rice cookers but when I got mine, not even the uber expensive Japanese/Korean made rice cookers featured a ceramic pot. I love the toughness of a good ceramic coating enough that I replaced all my pots and pans with non-stick coatings to ones with a ceramic coating, mainly GreenPan brand, after the first year with my Oster rice cooker showed me the toughness of ceramic over teflon-like coatings.

Cooks rice fast and this doesn't spit out too much liquid from the lid which is great.
Had Panasonic rice cooker which I have to clean during and after rice is cooked cause it spit out water all over the counter.
It is not fun to clean after all the time whenever I cook rice.
But this one works great!
Had the warm switch on for 3 hours and the bottom of the pot got very dry and the rice got very crispy. I kinda like that though, It's not the deal breaker for me so I'm keeping it.

Para arroz blanco regular es necesario enjuagar el arroz antes de prepararlo, unos tres o cuatro en enjuagues son suficientes. El arroz se coloca en la olla, se añade agua hasta la marca según corresponda a las tazas de arroz seco, se enciende y sólo hay que esperar. La arrocera empieza a funcionar a alta temperatura, después pasa a un modo que sólo mantiene caliente el contenido, sería el equivalente a "fuego bajo". Una taza de arroz tarda de 8 a 10 minutos alta temperatura, cuando la arrocera pasa a modo de calentar (fuego bajo) hay que esperar unos 10 o 15 minutos más. Este es el tiempo al que hay que prestar atención así que un reloj de cocina puede ser muy útil. Después de ese tiempo se usa la espátula incluida para esponjar el arroz.
En mi primera experiencia cocinando arroz blanco quedé muy satisfecho, para la próxima tal vez use un poco más del agua recomendada con el fin de que el arroz absorba más líquido y quede un poco más suave. Mi primer arroz quedó bien cocido aunque algo ... digamos "al dente". Una taza de arroz es suficiente para dos porciones. En lugar de agua se puede usar caldo, se pueden añadir verduras para un arroz a la jardinera, un poco de curry molido y mantequilla dan un resultado muy interesante. Todavía tengo que cocinar arroz precocido impegable y soy optimista sobre los resultados.
En resumen, es un aparato muy recomendable, fácil de usar y muy económico. Creo que es muy apropiado para las personas que no tienen mucho tiempo o ánimo de estar frente a la estufa. La alternativa de cocinar al vapor carnes y vegetales es una buena idea para quienes estén pensando en una alimentación sana ... aunque yo debo admitir que mis vegetales los salteo con un poco de mantequilla después de cocerlos.
