Lidl Rice Cooker | Set-Up Guide & Mini Review

[@mohammedpanju2236]

A little Tip, Mandy ... which someone taught me. Next time that you cook Basmati Rice in ye'r lovely Rice Cooker, sprinkle a few drops of Lemon Juice before starting the Cooking process ... this will help to prevent the Rice from sticking, and will give you a FLUFFY Rice when cooked.

[@Mandyglen]

We will try that.

[@mohammedpanju2236]

@@Mandyglen Please do so ... the other thing to do, of course, is to wash the Rice very THOROUGHLY by rinsing it under running water until the water runs clear. T'is the STARCH in the Rice which makes it sticky when cooked. For a flavoured Basmati Rice from time to time, add a few Cloves, a few Cardamom Pods, and some Whole Cumin Seeds during cooking. The aroma will be breathtaking and the Rice will taste really different - we call this Pilau Rice.

[@jusquicitoutvabien777]

@@mohammedpanju2236 I second that, mind blowing rice ! Personally I wash it 4 to 5 times until it run almost clear, I use a little bit of salt and sometime rice vinegar. If it's sticky and burnt, just close the lid while unplugging the cooker and let it steam, rice will be ready ! x

Do you use boiling water? Please

Works great if you pay attention to instructions. kzbin.infoUgkxviiltW7NlHbp_VL_bLbIkbLAvILVhnia For those that complain about "mushy" or "wet" rice I suspect they are using the included cup to measure rice (which is really only 3/4 cup) and then putting in water using a separate measuring cup that is a full cup. This results in too much water and you will get mushy or wet rice and think it is not done. Just use the included cup for both rice and water, or your own measuring cup for rice and water according to your package directions. It will come out fine. I've used mine for years for brown and white rice. If your machine is bubbling white froth out of the steam vent then it means you should have rinsed your brand of rice first to remove some of the starch. Sheesh. Makes me wonder how people can cook well enough to feed themselves.

[@Mandyglen]

We also find some rice needs more water and usually check during cooking if we’re using rice that we haven’t tried before.

[@denisesorchidparadise1411]

[@xarifacooper1399]

Bought one 2 weeks ago delighted with it, went to buy one for my son today but my local store in Barry didn't have any left hope Lidl will stock them again soon.

[@Mandyglen]

[@lexiladylou3569]

Just bought mine, the cup that comes with it says 180ml if that helps

[@esana]

great review enjoy friend

[@dora58]

Beautiful video

[@Mandyglen]

Thank you 😊

[@tigerlily9920]

Thanks so much for this video! I've recently bought this rice cooker and like yours it has a soft plastic cover around the lid (on the inside) on the inside of the steam vent and also inside the gap for the steam vent. Do these need to be removed before use?

[@Mandyglen]

No, they don't need to be removed.

[@MoMaryR]

Your video is very helpful, many thanks. I just bought it today, I'm in France. I hope to find the instructions in English.

[@Mandyglen]

Thank you for taking the time to comment 😊

[@MoMaryR]

@@Mandyglen I did 2 cups rice with 4 cups water. It was perfect! (I rinsed the rice first but not sure that's absolutely necessary).

[@Mandyglen]

Great job 😊

[@painkiller570]

Very nice review. How much time is needed to fully boil rice in this device?

[@Mandyglen]

Thank you. It depends on the rice but I find 15-20 minutes for the type I use.

[@daily_dilemmas2408]

Wowww bagus sekali untuk memasak nasi🥰🥰

[@sencartop2879]

How long does it take to cook 4 cups of rice and how much cup water do I have to add

[@Mandyglen]

some rice types vary but I generally use basmati or long grain, use 1.5 - 2 X water to rice and that takes around 25-30 mins. Hope this helps.

[@hristina5010]

Hello ! I use the same rice cooker but water keeps coming out of the ventilation no matter the rice quantity, even if it’s the smallest, did this happen to yours ? Or anyone else’s ? I don’t seem to be able to find the problem …

[@etunimi4206]

I got the exact same problem with mine, apparently common with cheap rice cookers. 1 table spoon of oil fixed it for me.

[@Christopher-kl5ne]

After trying lots of different brands of rice cooker I've never had burnt rice.

[@MrSychnant]

How much water for one cup? It doesn't have a one cup level mark.

[@Mandyglen]

I usually find that double water to rice works well. Hope this helps.

[@MrSychnant]

@@Mandyglen Thankyou.

[@feelinwoozy]

have you notcied it forms a crust on the bottom at all? I have a rice cooker (not this lidl one) but it forms a crus ton the bottom so when you mix the rice the "crispy" bit at the bottom goes into everything... I've seen good reviews on this silvercrest one from lidl.

[@Mandyglen]

That doesn't happen to ours.

[@seekerwolf4872]

Does it automatically switch from cooking rice to keeping warm? Or do you have to watch the time and switch it manually? Thank you in advance for your reply 🙂

[@Mandyglen]

yes it does it automatically ))

[@SomeRandomGuyOnYouTube]

It does, but the instructions never mention this important point. As a rice cooker newbie, I followed the cooking tables in the instructions which strongly suggest you need to time it yourself. Only realised after of couple of goes that there was no need!

[@j0hnk120]

Hello,do you think it is okay to put the dose that the rice is made in into fridge if you made a portion for multiple days ?Thank you

[@Mandyglen]

Im not a food expert but I believe that rice shouldn’t be reheated so I wouldn’t advise it.

[@01chittock]

You did clean it! Or did you skip that

[@Mandyglen]

Yes. We do the most boring bits off camera :o)

[@sallywright8065]

So that’s over three cups of water for two cups of rice?

[@Mandyglen]

For the rice I was using, yes. Check the packet instructions because they vary by type and brand.

[@annavinchyk9667]

Hi! Is the inside pot washable in dishwasher? TY

[@Mandyglen]

No. The manual says not to clean any of the parts in the dishwasher. Hope this helps :o)

[@rmw7536]

Do you not need to wash the rice first

[@Mandyglen]

Depends on which rice you use. We recommend you follow the instructions on the bag of rice.

[@alessom3070]

How can I clean the top? I mean is not removable and..how then..somehow I need to clean it after cooking

[@Mandyglen]

I put in clean water and let it run for 10 minutes so it steam cleans itself.

[@alessom3070]

Oh oh.. smart! Thank you!

[@88marome]

Mine refuses to turn too cooking mode. I have tried to put the bowl straight down over and over. Is it boken?

[@Mandyglen]

It could be faulty. Lidl are very good at replacing or refunding for faulty items.

[@IrynaHrechukh]

hello Does anybody know how much the cooker weighs?

[@just_me47]

Around 2kg

[@paolamagagnin4910]

Italiano grazie

You’re very welcome

[@JinFeeiLoh]

Is this still for sale in Lidl? Can I buy it online?

[@Mandyglen]

We have them here in the UK :o)

How to clean the rubber sealer?

[@Mandyglen]

I put in some clean water and run it for a while to steam clean. Then go around the rubber sealer with a soft damp cloth. Hope this helps.

[@DimaDiacon-zj3kk]

Что только для риса она?

[@Mandyglen]

You can also steam foods in here such as vegetables and fish. I only use it for rice 3-4 times a week 😊

[@Mike_5]

Students new at University can also use this to create huge Pot Noodles

[@Mandyglen]

Ha Ha )) Awesome :o)

[@anniedesai4351]

Although,a big fan of Lidl specially its appliances, not happy with this rice cooker as it's impossible to clean the inner lid after cooking the rice. The lid cannot be removed for cleaning/washing unless you unscrew it with a screwdriver etc. Just used it once and returning it now I'm afraid. The starchy water gets behind the rubber seal in the inside of the lid which is impossible to clean. More of a time taking job than a time saver.

[@Mandyglen]

It can be a bit tricky to clean thoroughly.

[@anniedesai4351]

@@Mandyglen I returned it as I wanted it for my own convenience and not to make life any harder. Wish there was an easy way of cleaning it.

[@ChoJun69]

Yeah, that looks like a hassle. Good thing i watched and saw the comment before buying as they are on sale first time in my local lidl, i think ill skip.
