Dash Mini Rice Cooker with Keep Warm review

The Dash Mini Rice Cooker is the cheapest way into a rice cooker at $24.99. Dash pitches it for single-serving portions of rice, quinoa and oatmeal, which suits one person, a dorm room or an office kitchen. It has a keep warm function, cool touch handles for carrying to the table, and comes with a rice paddle and a measuring cup. Dash lists a 365 day warranty, and the cooker comes in six colors: Graphite, Black, Lavender, Aqua, Cream White and Red. That is about all it does. There are no menus, no delay timer and no brown rice setting, and the small pot will not feed a family. For $15 more, the Cuckoo CR-0601C cooks up to 6 cups uncooked and adds a steam tray, so the Dash only makes sense if counter space or a single portion is the main concern. We compared documented features and published prices and did not run cooking tests.
