Macook 300W (0.6 L): what works, what doesn't?
What works well
- Keep-warm up to 4 hours: after cooking, the rice stays ready to serve for a long time without any help
- Ready quickly: according to the manufacturer, white rice is cooked in around 15 minutes
- Versatile with rice types: suitable for sushi, fragrant, brown and basmati rice
- Boil-over protection in the pot: three ridges in the inner pot are meant to prevent boiling over and make cleaning easier
- Glass lid included: visual check, plus rice paddle and measuring cup in the box
Points of criticism
- No-name brand: Macook is an unknown supplier, uncertainty remains over warranty and spare parts
- No digital display: purely mechanical one-button operation without programmes or a timer
- Optimistic portion claim: declaring 0.6 L as 'up to 6 portions' is borderline, realistically they are small portions
