Just wondering what the difference is between the Micro Cookers and the Rice Cooker Plus. WOuld you recommend one over the other??
Thanks!
 
There is no way I could choose one over the other, one or the other is ALWAYS dirty in my house anyway, lol.

I love to make cheese dip from beginning to end in one piece, I cook the hamburger or sausage, drain it through the spouts, then add the cheese and salsa. MMMM, making me real hungry for some chips and dip.

I love to make the cakes in the rice cooker, so I wouldn't trade it for the world either. I actually made one at work today, too bad I didn't have any icecream to have gone with it.

Although you could probably use the rice cooker to do what the micro cooker does, you couldn't use the micro cooker to do some of the things the rice cooker does, like the cake.

It has a unique design with a domed lid that allows for even distribution of heat, resulting in perfectly cooked rice every time. It can also be used for cooking other grains, such as quinoa or couscous.In terms of recommendation, it really depends on your cooking needs. If you frequently cook rice or other grains, the Rice Cooker Plus would be a great investment. However, if you are looking for a versatile and convenient way to cook or heat up small portions of food, the Micro Cookers would be a better choice.Overall, both products are high-quality and efficient microwave cookware options. It ultimately comes down to personal preference and intended use.
