Fujitronic FR-803 4-Cup Rice Cooker Review

Be advised that this review is for the 2005 model of the Fujitronic FR-803.Since then, they have manufactured a cheaper version.The current version is all plastic and flimsy.The 2005 version featured in this review is much sturdier and made of polymers like a Sanyo or Zorjirushi.I cannot guarantee the value or performance of the newer model.

I just received my Fujitronic FR-803 4 cup rice cooker.This is the second rice cooker that I have owned.The first one that I bought was a Salton 3 cup rice cooker.It was horrible.I used it once, and then never again.As I start to lead a healthier life style, I incorporated brown rice into my diet.I would always cook it in a pot, and often times, I would end up burning it, or not putting in enough water, or something.Needless to say, I did not have a consistent batch of rice.

In comes the Fujitronic FR-803.Now, I did quite a bit of research before bying this rice cookers.I went to several websites as well as speaking to people that I know that have rice cookers.Zojirushi is by far the most well known rice cooker manufacturer in the "Asian" world.But, after pricing several of their models, I was a little reluctant to spend upwards of $100 for a rice cooker.So, we have Fujitronic.As you see with this survey, there is not a lot of reviews of it.However, from reading the product description, I see that it appears ot have all of the necessary features that Zojirushi has, at half of the price.So I bought it.

Now I have only used it a couple of times, and I have only used it to make brown rice (basmati), but let me tell you that this machine is AWESOME!!!A consistent and perfect batch each time.And clean up is a snap (rinsing 4 pieces).I have read many reviews of other rice cookers where people are talking about the rice liquids overflowing, and rice coming out burned.Not with this machine.This is due to a strategically placed steam vent, and a splater overflow recepticle.After my first batch, I finally knew how rice is supposed to be.If you are in the market for a rice cooker, I URGE you to consider the Fujitronic models.If all of the other producsts are as good as the FR-803, then it is by far the best under appreciated manufacturer out there.
