Remove the lid, flip the mold over, and push the “button” to release your onigiri onto a baking sheet or plate lined with parchment paper. The white rice took 35 minutes, but the water level was slightly too high because the rice was clumpy and sticky; with a lower amount of water, it would be fluffy and tender. The rice measuring cup that is provided with the rice cooker can be the most confusing item of the accessories because when you read “place 1 cup of uncooked rice into the inner pot”, it usually means one leveled scoop using the measuring cup provided. I always get imported nori from Japan (I usually pick the most expensive nori at Nijiya Market) and it’s pretty good. The Dash Mini Rice Cooker is also a solid option for beginners, and it works well for small spaces like dorms or AirBnBs.

The rice does take a long time to cook (white rice took 41 minutes, and brown rice 1 hour) due to a soaking cycle, which ensures the rice can fully absorbs the water. Rice gets hard in the refrigerator but with this easy trick, your onigiri will be cool enough to stay safe. All the rice cookers we tested come with a warm setting that will keep your rice warm (at a food-safe temperature) for a few hours. Similar to k amado cooking, the use of metal pots on a gas stove also requires heat management to ensure rice doesn’t burn.Our mission is to offer a thoughtfully curated selection of high-quality products that infuse a sense of cuteness and whimsy into your everyday life. If you plan to use the Instant Pot for more than just rice, we think it could be a worthwhile investment. Japanese Short-Grain Rice – Commonly labeled as sushi rice outside of Japan, Japanese short-grain rice is the rice that we use in most Japanese cooking.
