Hey now!

Reviewed in the United States on October 18, 2018

Style: 10-Cup/5 Auto MenuVerified Purchase

Bottom line: This baby makes perfect sushi rice and keeps it warm without crusting it all up on the bottom -even if you leave it for a bit. It's very well built, as most Panasonic products are and looks nice. You hit the button for the rice you are cooking and it just makes your rice perfect. Way, way better than my old Oster. It also comes with a paddle with little knobbly things on it which makes it really easy for the rice to release -it doesn't all stick to the paddle.
I'm a little surprised the manual is so poorly translated that some things are not possible to figure out: Panasonic is usually pretty good about manuals. Luckily it's not a complex device to use -the key is that the measurements marked on the side of the pot work differently: you measure your rice with a measuring cup (handily provided) and stick your rice in, then bring the water up to the cup markings which have already taken into account that you stuck the rice in. I.e., if you are making 2 cups of rice and need 2 3/4 cups of water, stick the rice in, then bring the water level up to 2 3/4. This is a great idea. The only issue I have, and why I dinged it a point on "easy to use", is that it is nigh on impossible to read the markings inside the pot unless you hold it outside the cooker in just the right light while trying to keep the water level. I've gotten around this by marking a bamboo handle to match the pot markings and I just stick that in. (I'd also like to know more about the "Fuzzy Logic". I know what fuzzy logic is and would be interested to know exactly what it's doing in this device.)
But hey, stick the rice in press the button and you get perfect rice every time -what more could you ask?

A Smart upgrade

Reviewed in the United States on September 14, 2020

Style: 5-Cup/5 Auto MenuVerified Purchase

As an Asian-American, I have to have a rice cooker in my kitchen. That's non-negotiable. Until now, I've always used cheap dumb cookers and had mostly decent results. When ours finally gave up, I decided to splurge on a smart cooker and I'm happy that I did. I wasn't about to throw down $300 on a Zoji so this seemed like a good alternative. I didn't need all of the fancy cooking programs, just a button for white rice is sufficient.
Pros:
Non-stick is excellent! I haven't' had it too long now, but it's already been better than my last one ever was.
Easy! Just put in your (rinsed) rice, add water (to the knuckle) press start. That's it.
Great rice every time.
Removable cord (Doesn't seem like much, but I hated the non-removable cord on my old machine)
Stays hot. Even after unplugging, it keeps warm for a long time if you keep the lid closed.

Cons:
Annoying to clean. The lid doesn't come off so you have to wipe it clean and leave the machine open to dry. Luckily, it cleans up easily.
No time remaining. My old machine didn't have that either, but it also didn't have a microcomputer.
Kind of big.

Bottom line: A huge upgrade from our older basic cooker. If the non-stick coating holds up, I'll have no regrets ever for spending the extra money for this superior machine.

Awesome rice cooker

Reviewed in the United States on November 1, 2013

Style: 10-Cup/5 Auto MenuVerified Purchase

Let me start by saying this: I suck at cooking rice. This rice cooker, however, makes it super easy to always have fantastic tasting rice provided that you plan ahead a bit. Both the white rice and the brown rice setting work great, with white rice usually taking 20-30 minutes and the brown rice taking significantly longer (1 hour pre-cook soak, then about 1.5-1.75 hours to cook after the brown rice cook mode has been started).

In my experience with the SR-DF181 so far, I've found that taking the time to rinse/wash your rice thoroughly prior to cooking is very important (also, as the manual mentions, don't wash the rice in the cook pot... the dry rice is pretty abrasive) and if you have heavily chlorinated water or water with any sort of strong taste/smell, I'd recommend filtering the water you'll be cooking the rice in with a Brita pitcher or equivalent first so that the taste of the rice ins't impacted. For those complaining about poorly cooked brown rice, I think it may have something to do with the type of rice being used (i.e. there are probably some assumptions being made on the part of Panasonic). I've only experimented with Nishiki brand medium grain white and medium grain brown rice in the cooker thus far (both are a California grown Japanese style rice) and haven't had any issues.

Quick cleaning tip: after emptying the cooked rice from the cooking pot, leave the pot out or cooker open so that the residue in the pot can dry out. It's a lot easier to clean when you do this because nearly all of the residue in the pot will peel right off and can be thrown away. If you just toss the pot into a sink full of water for cleaning, then the moistened residue will become very glue-like and hard to remove.

Perfect for dry rice lovers!

Reviewed in the United States on July 29, 2022

Style: 5-Cup/5 Auto MenuVerified Purchase

Do you enjoy rice that dries out about 5 minutes after it’s cooked? Well, you’re weird, but you should definitely get this rice cooker!

This thing is a joke. The Keep Warm setting would more accurately be labeled Dry Up, because that’s what it does best. Makes rice and then lets it dry out asap, as if you unplugged it and left the top open. Truly amazing.

Spend a little more money on a decent rice cooker (you know the one, the $$$ one you want to get but aren’t quite ready to commit to) because it’s so worth it. This guy is trash. Or it will be, very soon, because you deserve good rice. You know you do.

Works great, but clean up is not easy

Reviewed in the United States on April 11, 2024

Quick cook won't save you much in cooking time compared to normal cooking (about 45minuts to cook 2 cups). All functions work well, unit seem durable, but condensed water has no catching container so water run all around the top edge of the rim. Need a towel to keep it dry evertime open the lid.

Can't buy a better steamer at this price

Reviewed in Canada on December 2, 2023

Style: 5-Cup/5 Auto MenuVerified Purchase

I purchased a Zojirushi Rice and vegetable steamer. It was over twice the cost of this one. It didn't result in any better rice or vegetable steaming wasn't any faster. I returned it.
This Panasonic has simple controls, and I like the way that you control the time you're vegetables are steamed by the amount of water you add. The steamer tray is quite big and the size of most larger steamers.
Fuzzy logic steamers like this take longer than just boiler units, but the rice turns out way better every time. Jasmine or white rice takes about 40 minutes but you do have the option of faster steaming with not quite as good results. This is one of the best rated price and vegetable steamers you can buy. For this low price, it's the best bang for your buck in a steamer.

A Well-Designed, Perfect Rice Cooker

Reviewed in Canada on February 1, 2023

The Panasonic SRCN108 Rice Cooker is another fine product by the design engineers at Panasonic Japan. This easy-to-use cooker comes equipped with 16 auto-cook programs and a "Keep Warm" function that lasts 12 hours. The push-button controls are robust and well-designed; however, you must still use your free hand to prevent the unit from sliding. But, hey, that only means that the cooker is light (1 lb. / 454 g) and therefore easy to carry and move about. A plus for me. Used only for cooking rice - white, brown, wild, blended, Basmati and Jasmine rice - which it does to perfection.

I haven’t tried the other functions yet but this little rice cooker makes awesome rice. Best part is it is pretty small so can easily be stored away in smaller apartments. 5 star!

Awesome rice cooker and rice is cooked well

Reviewed in Canada on December 25, 2022

Style: 5-Cup/18 Auto MenuVerified Purchase

I have always loved this brand. I have owned numerous rice cookers in my life and learned from experience that a rice cooker can make a difference in the taste and texture of the rice. Some of my previous rice cookers cooked fast but the rice didn't come out as tasty. This rice cooker doesn't take an excessively long time and the rice is cooked beautifully. One feature I wish it had is to show the countdown time for the whole process. It only shows the remaining time when it's almost done so it's not easy to plan the cooking time for the dishes that go with the rice. But overall I am happy with this purchase.
