Perfect for a Single or a Couple
I just received my Fujitronic FR-803 4 cup rice cooker. This is the second rice cooker that I have owned. The first one that I bought was a Salton 3 cup rice cooker. It was horrible. I used it once, and then never again. As I start to lead a healthier life style, I incorporated brown rice into my diet. I would always cook it in a pot, and often times, I would end up burning it, or not putting in enough water, or something. Needless to say, I did not have a consistent batch of rice.
In comes the Fujitronic FR-803. Now, I did quite a bit of research before bying this rice cookers. I went to several websites as well as speaking to people that I know that have rice cookers. Zojirushi is by far the most well known rice cooker manufacturer in the "Asian" world. But, after pricing several of their models, I was a little reluctant to spend upwards of $100 for a rice cooker. So, we have Fujitronic. As you see with this survey, there is not a lot of reviews of it. However, from reading the product description, I see that it appears ot have all of the necessary features that Zojirushi has, at half of the price. So I bought it.
Now I have only used it a couple of times, and I have only used it to make brown rice (basmati), but let me tell you that this machine is AWESOME!!! A consistent and perfect batch each time. And clean up is a snap (rinsing 4 pieces). I have read many reviews of other rice cookers where people are talking about the rice liquids overflowing, and rice coming out burned. Not with this machine. This is due to a strategically placed steam vent, and a splater overflow recepticle. After my first batch, I finally knew how rice is supposed to be. If you are in the market for a rice cooker, I URGE you to consider the Fujitronic models. If all of the other producsts are as good as the FR-803, then it is by far the best under appreciated manufacturer out there.
