This one?..
Or the one you linked for £200?
Thanks all for the advice.
In the end i went for..
Mainly because I can get it from Amazon/fuzzy logic and it's tiny.
Unfortunately I couldn't get the one Raymond listed from Amazon, and prefer to use them for any warranty issues.
It arrives tomorrow, so I guess the proof of the pudding will be in the eating.
Same here, even my steamer was twice the price, and if it cooks rice that I'm happy with, It'l be a small price to pay

It actually arrives today (by 10pm) so I’ll be glad to let you know how it is, but it can’t be any worse than me faffing around using a pan and either ending up eating miniature bullets or wall paper paste, or using my Ninja speedi and making way way too much.
I guess the one downside is that it doesn’t play a wee jingle when it’s finished

That (I believe) is the exact one I ordered this morning.
Yes.Jon hasn’t posted in a while now. The Panda fuzzy logic has got the better of him I think
I overdosed on rice and had to have to a lay down (still, the chickens won’t go hungry for a while).
Had some good results, but I found that letting it run its course makes the rice a little sticky for my liking.
The only rice I’ve got is some cheap Lidl Basmati, so I’ll grab some better quality stuffs today and give that a go (any suggestions welcome).
That said, it makes rice a bazillion times better than I ever could, and as a plus it has a wee steamer tray to do broccoli or whatnot at the same time
Indeed.
The Ninja Speedi I bought recently is now pretty much redundant.
Yes, and some.
Finally got my rice looking like this today after a lot of faffing around with measurements.This is how it's meant to be.
Even when mixed, each individual grain intact. Consistency top to bottom.
I only use 3/4 cup and just needed to dial in the amount of water required, that and having the discipline not to open the lid for a quick look see.
I've never really eaten much rice (or fish), but for some reason it's all I'm eating nowadays, possibly because all the rice I'd eaten before was crap (microwave packet), and the fish (salmon) I'm marinading myself.
Either or, the Panda was a sound investment.
Yup, just use the provided cup and use the water level indicator on the pot, it really couldn't be easier.
Enjoy your perfectly cooked rice
The only time it went wrong for me was I kept opening the lid and peeking inside, which is an absolute no no.
Washing the rice properly in my experience made a huge difference.
Don't wash it enough, and it turns out a sticky mess and is fairly unpleasant in texture.
Adding 1/2 tsp of Turmeric per cup (depending on what it accompanies) is superb.
It's a pretty easy learning curve

Looking forward to see how you get on with it.
The little tray on top is useful for steaming veg etc whilst the rice is cooking.
I'm using the Tilda Jasmin at the moment and don't find it too sticky, although am I mainly using it in fried rice dishes.
After trying all brands, I've found what suits me best..
A full cup will do me two meals, and whats left over from the first meal goes into the fridge overnight and is perfect for egg fried rice the day after.

It’s what I have and it’s great.
It’s showing 15% off at the moment at £84.90.
Yes, don't open it until it's finished.
Just don't.
Also, how well are you rinsing the rice?
