No sourced tester review yet.
One whitelisted tester, Good Housekeeping's Institute Kitchen Appliances Lab, hands-on tested this Toshiba fuzzy-logic rice cooker (specs match the TRCS01). It praised perfectly cooked quinoa on the multigrain setting and al dente brown rice with no bottom-sticking, but flagged long cook times and slightly overcooked white rice. (1 sourced review, 1 lab-tested.)
Praised: Quinoa cooked perfectly on the multigrain setting; Brown rice came out al dente with no sticking to the bottom; Cook-time countdown on the control panel plus a built-in carry handle.
Flagged: Longer cook times than most rivals (white 50 min, brown 75 min, quinoa 70 min); White rice came out slightly overcooked.
