• Sanyo ECJ-S35S 3-1/2 Cup Rice Cooker
  I love this rice cooker. It's easy to use, and rice stays fresh and warm for hours. Now, I can eat freshly cooked rice any time I want to. Since I purchased it a month ago, I have been practically eating rice 3 times a day (I am an Aisan)without gaining weight (like I would do with American food). Yes, I am very happy with this rice cooker. ...more info
• Perfect Rice
  I own two other rice cookers and this is the best and my favorite. I can not wait to make bread in it! It is a small rice cooker that is perfect for a small family. ...more info
• Fantastic Rice!
  I never even heard of Rice Cookers until a couple of months ago.....
  Then I came across the Sanyo ECJ-S35S 3.5 cup Rice Cooker.
  Now it's like: how did I ever live without one?
  
  The 3.5 (Japanese) cup capacity is perfect for singles or couples. It's cute, easy to clean, has a convenient handle and retractable cord, has settings for brown rice and bread baking and most importantly of all.....
  It makes Perfect Rice! Every time. As good as or better than a Sushi Bar or Chinese Restaurant.
  
  Brown Rice from the health food store or white Sushi Rice from Jewel comes out perfectly cooked every single time. It has a "keep warm" function that keeps the rice at a perfect serving temperature for hours. I let it sit for 10 hours once and the rice was still near perfect.
  
  Cleaning is a breeze as rice does not stick to the titanium coated pot and the inner lid pops off in an instant for easy cleaning. The included accessories are just a 1 Japanese Cup measuring cup (about 7/8 USA cup), a specially designed Spatula for scooping out the rice and a small cookbook.
  
  The only things that aren't absolutely perfect about this Rice Cooker is that the solid plastic feet allow it to slide backwards when you push the buttons on the front and the "End of Cooking" chime is on the quiet side.
  
  Otherwise this is about the best kitchen appliance ever. If you like rice, you just gotta get one right now! (unless you need a bigger model)...more info

  Adding a bit more detail as of May 25, 2009 - I really can not say enough about this rice cooker. I use it on a daily basis to make jasmine rice. My jasmine rice comes out perfect on the quick cycle. Try adding a little bit of olive oil in with the rice before it begins boiling. Not too much. I have found just a little bit of olive oils gives it a nice sheen and keeps it from gumming up and getting too sticky. Of course, sometimes sticky is good. Especially when making Korean BBQ. Yum!...more info
• Rice is nice, but Bread is Best!!
  I bought this because I thought it would look pretty on our black granite counter. We eat rice all the time with all sorts of dishes from stir-fry and teriyaki to Chicken & Broccoli casserole and Beef Stroganoff and the ricee cooker ends up getting left out on the counter *all* the time. I got tired of looking at that ugly old rice cooker we had that clashed with our recently remodeled, sleek, new kitchen. (I know, I am so kitchen-vain!)
  
  Woo baby!! Now I am making bread, from scratch- every single night before I go to bed(or setting my alarm really early) because my family *loves* the bread this thing makes!! It's amazing really!
  
  I make a loaf and it is gone before the day is over, guaranteed- it is so yummy and chewy. The crust is just crusty-perfect on the outside and the inside is soft and chewy. The kids love it for breakfast instead of toast- just straight out of the rice cooker with a little butter and homemade strawberry jam. My husband makes himself ham and cheese panini sandwiches which are the best ever with slices of the stuff.
  
  So, the recipe book came with one recipe and I have played around and modified it slightly and ended up with the following which seems to be a hit with the whole family:
  In my food processor I mix together
  *2 cups of white flour and
  *a package of quick-acting yeast- (I prefer quick-acting but have also used red star yeast that I get in a big package from a large club store but if you use regular yeast you should mix with a little of the scalded milk below that has been cooled to 90-110 degrees before adding at the end.)
  
  Meanwhile scald 1 Cup of Milk (do this in a large pan because milk will bubble up really quickly and you'll have a mess on your stove if you aren't super vigilant)
  
  Remove the milk from heat once it starts bubbling.
  
  Add 1 Tbs vegetable oil and 1/2 C Honey and a tsp of Salt, whisk it up well and let cool to 120-130 degrees for quick-acting yeast(again, if you use regular yeast here is where you would mix with scalded milk mixture cooled to 90-110 degrees which you can proof-- let sit for 5-10 minutes or so and watch for the bubbles. Remember with yeast bubbles=no trouble, no bubbles=trouble.)
  
  Throw it all in the food processor and process until it turns into a ball (use the dough blade attachment-- its the plastic thing-a-ma-bob without a real cutting blade). If it doesn't ball up right away, continue to process and slowly add a little flour until it does. It should eventually be easy to pick up out of the food processor and play with.
  
  Play with the dough for a while. This is technically called kneading. I like to make dinosaurs and then squash them together like they are fighting. When you've had enough play time, pat it into a ball and throw that baby in your rice cooker. Select bread mode. It will beep after 40 minutes at which point you can/should punch it down if you did it right and they yeast thing worked properly. It will beep again after another 40 minutes and then you flip the lo9af over to brown on the other side for the remaining 10 minutes.
  
  The awesome thing about this is even if the yeast doesn't do it's thing, the bread is dense but still yummy as can be because it is nice and steamy in there. Yum!
  
  Try it, you'll love it!!
  
  Oh, and it makes great rice... AND you can make bread pudding... but that's all in the manual...so, uh, read the manual after you buy this.
  
  Oh, and one last thing... it looks great sitting out on my counter!...more info

• I liked it so much, I bought the company
  I bought an earlier version of this rice cooker a couple of years ago and have been delighted with it. Based on my recommendation, two friends have bought them. And I myself just bought a third one (the new version) as a present for another friend. Nothing to add to the positive comments from others in this forum. We haven't checked out the bread-making capability yet, but the new one makes rice and steel-cut oatmeal just as well as the old one. My one small complaint is that it is difficult to clean next to the hinge. But that's minor, compared to the cooker's overall quality and convenience.
  
  For what it's worth, my favorite everyday rice by far is Kokuho Rose rice, which cooks perfectly in the Sanyo. You can buy the rice at any Asian food store, and at many supermarkets that have a large "international food" section....more info
