Shoppers cannot stop raving about this pot and it shows in its overall rating of 4.9 stars. One five-star reviewer even gushed that it “actually changed my life.”

“I’ve always suffered from burnt rice, no matter how bare my simmer, what steam saving measure I go to, what rice/water ratio,” the shopper wrote. “No longer! This pot gets used four plus times a week to make perfect, fluffy grains every single time.”

The same reviewer even boasted that this pot is superior in quality to the highly raved-about enamel cast iron pots from trusted brand Le Creuset.

“The lid is super tight, unlike my small Le Creuset cocottes, and this is the perfect size for the couple who occasionally cooks rice for four people. I am in love!” the shopper concluded.

Another reviewer even admitted to using this pot to cook more than just rice, highlighting that it is truly a multifunctional kitchen staple.

“I use this small price cooker for everything: rice, quinoa, poached eggs, etc.,” the shopper said. “If you are worried about not wanting to purchase a single-use item, this can be used for so many things!”
