The Microwave Rice Cooker
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.

I have never actually seen or used one of these, do they actually work? I know that a lot of people have difficulty cooking rice so something like this could be a big help!

Hi Niall, they work really well, especially when cooking for two. The rice turns out just like it would in an electric rice cooker.

Dear Bee,
I have never ever had good luck cooking rice, as you said, it gums up, dries out or burnes and ruins my pots, pans, and or Entire Kitchen. I shall hurry down to the market in a few minutes and buy the one you recomend! I could have used it for the past 37 years! lol
