I don't have the rice cooker, but a question was thrown at me this weekend at a show that I really didn't have the answer to...would the rice cooker be too tall for some microwaves, or has it seemed to fit in most all sizes? We compaired the volume of the classic batter bowl (seeing that the rice cooker would be one quart more), and the guest didn't think that it would fit in their microwave. The host put the batter bowl into her microwave to heat part of the recipe demonstration and saw that the batter bowl just fit for her.
Any insights? :o
 
I would think that it would fit without any problem in any microwave, but to be sure, I'd see if Consultant's Corner has the specks on the size and have her measure.
 
it doesn't fit allI thought I would let you guys know that the rice cooker doesn't fit all microwaves. I just had to take care of a return for a customer from one of my recent shows. I thought it fit all because I have a small microwave and it fits fine. It might be a good thing to confirm the size of the customers microwave first to save on adjustments down the road. :)

I also had to replace a rice cooker recently. However, mine replacement worked out ok because the host that had the show ended up buying it from the customer. I also had no idea that it wouldn't fit in every micro. How would you go about checking the sizes of someone's micro. Like the previous entry, my micro is pretty small. Any comments!! :eek:
 
Hi there! Thank you for bringing up this question about the rice cooker. From my experience, the rice cooker does tend to fit in most microwaves, as it is designed to be compact and space-saving. However, it's always best to double check the dimensions of your specific microwave to ensure a proper fit. One tip is to measure the space available in your microwave and compare it to the dimensions listed on the rice cooker's product page. Also, if you have the opportunity, I would recommend trying it out in a similar microwave before purchasing. I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions. :)
 

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Pampered Chef Rice Cooker too tall for my microwave?

The Pampered Chef Rice Cooker is designed to fit in most standard microwaves. However, if your microwave has a low ceiling or is compact in size, it may not accommodate the height of the cooker. It's best to measure the interior height of your microwave before purchasing.

What are the dimensions of the Pampered Chef Rice Cooker?

The Pampered Chef Rice Cooker typically measures around 10 inches in height and 10 inches in diameter. Be sure to check the specific product details, as dimensions may vary slightly with different models.

Can I use the Rice Cooker in a smaller microwave?

If your microwave is smaller than the standard size, the Rice Cooker may not fit properly. It's recommended to use a microwave with at least 11 inches of interior height to ensure safe and effective cooking.

What should I do if my microwave is too small for the Rice Cooker?

If your microwave is too small, consider using the Rice Cooker on the stovetop instead, as it can also be used for cooking rice and other dishes over direct heat. Alternatively, you may want to look for a smaller rice cooker that fits your microwave.

Are there any tips for using the Rice Cooker in a microwave with limited space?

If you have limited space, ensure that the Rice Cooker is placed in the center of the microwave to allow for even cooking. Additionally, check that there is enough clearance above the cooker for steam to escape during cooking. If necessary, you can also cook in smaller batches to accommodate your microwave's size.
