Crux20 Cup Induction Rice Cooker, Multi-Cooker, Food Steamer, Slow Cooker, Stewpot, Easy One-Pot Healthy Meals, Dishwasher Safe Non-Stick Bowl, Black, one size

I am a busy mom of 3 adult children working, living and studying from home. I am working part-time out of the home (thankfully), and am always wondering where the food goes while I am at work. The solution I have come up with is to cook ahead and try to stay ahead of the game. I have always tried to use a crockpot when I can, but the thought of dragging that heavy piece out of the cabinet and then having to clean it, just doesn’t seem worth the effort. The Crux Rice steamer is a perfect solution for me. I have created a permanent spot on the counter for this appliance because I find that I will use it frequently. Don’t let the name rice cooker fool you. While it cooks rice to PERFECTION and takes the guesswork out of making it, by having different settings for different types of rice, it is also a great slow cooker. I had a pot roast meal in the cooker in 10 minutes, pressed the slow cook button in the afternoon, shut the lid and dinner was ready in a few hours, warming until it was time to eat. The pot is just large enough to fit the meat, or any other meal you want to make. Did I mention the GREAT DESIGN? It’s a sleek and clean looking appliance. Clean up was also simple. I would like to see a feature added where you could choose between a longer and shorter period of slow-cook, as with traditional crockpots, but it is not a game changer. This is a very useful appliance with a very attractive look and super easy to use and clean. I also liked how you could cook an entire dinner in it by using the steamer basket on top of the pot for veggies or protein. I am excited to try many different recipes with my new Crux cooker!

I love it. It does what I want it to do. It’s great. It goes off when it’s ready which I love so I don’t have to keep looking to see if it’s ready like my last rice cooker. I finally noticed what everyone said about this rice cooker. It isn’t 12 cups. Maybe it can fit 12 cups of uncooked food. But not cooked. I put four cups of rice in here once and when it was ready the rice cooker was completely filled to the brim. Imagine if it actually out 12 cups to cook in here??? Yikes. But I honestly don’t need 12 cups of rice anyway. 4 was my max and that was because I had guests and was still too much. So this isn’t a problem for me. If you actually need more than four cups I would suggest a different rice cooker. I noticed the stars asked about a timer function. What timer function? There isn’t one displayed. Every variation has a different time but there isn’t a way to figure that out. You just hear the ring when it’s ready and that’s it. So I typically put my food in there at least an hour before I plan on eating to ensure it’s ready in time. But I love this thing. It cooks everything and it cooks it well. If it comes out dry it’s on you. You probably didn’t add enough water. I do quinoa, jasmine rice, couscous, yellow rice, brown rice, the works in here and everything comes out perfect. It’s super easy to clean. And comes with everything you need from the measuring cup to the scoop even a scoop holder.

So I was on a mission to find a rice cooker! We love sticky rice and really the rice cooker is the way to achieve it! Plus the ease of setting a time to help w dinner prep was very appealing to me! A friend suggested an induction model and again, I love to cook but don’t really have a lot of time when I get home from work. I decided on the Crux 20 cup Rice Cooker with Induction heating. (I figured go big or go home! Lol) The cooker is beautiful, sleek and I love the handle at the top so as to take it to the neighborhood block party (as soon as covid allows us to!) or just to the dining room table. Read directions..to understand the display panel as well as how to care for cooker. Dishwasher safe cooking pot! Yay! Ok so for the induction setting. I would spring for this model if: You love making soups and stews— a typical stew takes 2-6 hours to make, your now looking at alittle over 1 hour by using induction option. You have a big family and need the 20 cup model! If neither of these things apply, perhaps the Crux 14 cup w/o induction would be more your speed. So I’m giving the Crux Rice maker with induction heating a solid mark. It does what it says it’s going to do and looks great in the process!

It say 12 cups can cook this rice cooker I was amazed then when I received I was confused cuz I said why too small and I tried to use and can cook only 5 cups. Oh totally lie!
