Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Oster 4715 Multi-Use 10-Cup Rice Cooker and Food Steamer
Customer Review: Absolutely Useless
Summary: 1 Stars
I received this cooker as a wedding present, and I couldn't be more disappointed with it. This cooker will FRY TO HELL any rice you cook in it. Period. I tried putting the recommended 2.5-1 ratio of water to rice, and the rice got burned. I even tried using a 4-1 ratio, and it still burned.
I am not surprised at all to see the entire Oster line of rice cookers loaded with bad reviews. Even though we got this as a gift, I still feel ripped off. Do your research on rice cookers and stay FAR away from anything with the "Oster" name attached.
Customer Review: Please invest in a better cooker!

We received this rice cooker as a Christmas gift and replacement for one broken on our move back from Korea. Immediately, we had issues. I found it almost impossible to make decent, wet or sticky rice without burning the bottom. The warmer feature always burned the bottom, making it useless. After a month or so, the seal on the lid broke, unexplainably, and we had to jury rig it to make it work. Finally, in May, the whole thing just quit working one night. We make a lot of rice and maybe this thing wasn't meant for every or every other day use. I don't know, but I do not recommend it!Customer Review: Don't buy this rice cooker
Summary: 1 Stars
I bought this rice cooker on sale from Kohl's. Initially I thought it was pretty good since the rice was cooked nicely and the pot was easy to clean. However, as I use it more often, it turns out to be the worst rice cooker that I ever had. Usually, from my experience, a rice cooker can keep rice warm and moist for 2 or 3 days without any problems. For some reasons, this rice cooker cant do that. The rice became too dry at the bottom, mushy in places where water drains down from the lid or, worse, spoiled on the second day. I bought other brands at about the same price before and never had any problem like that. At first, I thought it was the faucet water that caused the problem, since I just moved to a new place. But the problem still continues even after I used bottle water to cook the rice. So my advice is stay away from this rice cooker, unless you plan to cook and finish all the rice right away.
