Do you remember our tussle with the brand new electric cooker?  Well turns out that it actually did work. The only issue was that we didn’t know what to do with the piece of equipment shown below. It is called the Trivet and when we purchased the cooker, it was found below the main vessel. We kept it there in our first attempt and never realized that it was a mistake. Our neighbours who have a Panasonic electric cooker told us that this trivet has to be placed inside the main vessel.

We did that and then the cooker worked pretty well.

The cooking time was around 30 minutes. The rice was well made. We used 1:2 proportion for rice and water. We didn’t try the keep warm feature though. Remember to pre-soak the rice as it really has a good effect on the end product.

• Elgi Ultra Grind+ | User Review & Cost

Sunday morning and we try to use the new electric cooker which we just purchased. And to our surprise, it just didn’t work. Goes on to show what Indian companies lack - Quality and commitment towards the customers.

We followed all the instructions as given in the user manual:

1. Soak the rice after pre-washing for about 30 minutes
2. Transfer the rice and appropriate quantity of water into the cooking vessel
3. Place the vessel inside the cooker and turn it on
4. As soon as the cooker is switched on, press the cook switch
5. After cooking the cook switch woud automatically goto warm mode. The rice can be served 15 minutes later

The only issue was that the switch never stayed put in the “cook” mode and kept flipping to the “warm” mode. After all the tries which lasted more than 90 minutes we gave up.

You can see the video of the switch operation below:
