My original microwave rice cooker has worked brilliantly for the last 3 years, but it just wasn’t meant to be! Accidentally cooking too little rice for too long, I managed to melt the bottom of the container *sighs*.

Searching at my local supermarket for a suitable replacement had it’s challenges, I wanted a better model, one that didn’t over flow and leave me with puddle of water on the microwave glass plate.

I finally found the Maxi-Aid Microwave Rice Cooker at Victoria’s Basement, and it’s perfect, it comes with a two layer clip on lid, measuring cup and rice paddle and it’s easy to clean and dishwasher safe.

The lid works amazingly well, when the water boils it’s caught in the dip of the lid and then drains back into the pot. No more messy microwave spills to clean up.
