    Works great if you pay attention to instructions. czcams.com/users/postUgkxviiltW7NlHbp_VL_bLbIkbLAvILVhnia For those that complain about "mushy" or "wet" rice I suspect they are using the included cup to measure rice (which is really only 3/4 cup) and then putting in water using a separate measuring cup that is a full cup. This results in too much water and you will get mushy or wet rice and think it is not done. Just use the included cup for both rice and water, or your own measuring cup for rice and water according to your package directions. It will come out fine. I've used mine for years for brown and white rice. If your machine is bubbling white froth out of the steam vent then it means you should have rinsed your brand of rice first to remove some of the starch. Sheesh. Makes me wonder how people can cook well enough to feed themselves.

    First use you need to wash well with soap and water, then rinse well with fresh water, I used mine for the first time today and it didn't have that plastic smell... I'm impressed 😊

      Same here.
      Bought on January 02. in Lidl (Croatia) for 9,99€.
      Washed well before use.
      Absolutely no plastic odor.
      Used a few times since then.
      Microwave 1000W.
      250g rice
      500ml water
      9 min (1000W)
      5-10 min rest (lid on).
      Fluffy.

    It says on Sistema web site to remove all labels and wash before use and it says you can wash with warm soapy water, which would help remove odours.

    So how much rice did you ACTUALLY use?
    How much water did you ACTUALLY use?
    Did you guess how long to cook it?
    To be fair, if you’re doing a product test, ya gotta have all the variables right to determine if the product works.
    The kind of plastic makes a big difference as to whether or not it smells and for how long. If a plastic item smells the second time I use it, I won’t trust it and I chuck it…food and all.

      Judging from the whole video he didn't wash it before using it. Something I always do before using new plastic goods is wash them and then microwave them for 3-5minutes before actually using them with food as that can get rid of the plastic smell.

    Just a perspective, not trying to shame anyone. But, dude, if you want to be credible..... Don't shoot videos with a sink full of dirty dishes. Additionally, wash the vessel, remove the labels, wash the vessel again.
    😊Washing rice... Pour in desired amount of rice. The cover with clean water. Then, using your hand, in a circular motion, about 30 times, scrub the rice. Then drain. Repeat 2 more times then drain completely.
    NOW your rice is ready to accept cooking water. Use the ratio that works best for you. I follow the directions on the rice I use from Japan. Once water is added, cover and let stand on counter for 30 minutes. Then place in your microwave, again, this differs, but for at least 10 minutes. Remove from microwave, carefully open the Systema, and use the paddle that comes with it to stir (from bottom to top).
    Then, you're done!!
    *just because it's made for the microwave, doesn't mean that it's quick rice. It does take time. *😊

    • @amydavis4945
      @amydavis4945 Před 3 lety +10

      I agreed with everything except letting it sit on the counter for 30 min PRIOR to cooking. That's just not necessary. I learned to make rice properly from my Japanese mother in law (not Japanese American either). She does everything you do, except the letting it sit BEFORE cooking. However, we ALWAYS let it sit AFTER cooking for at least 10-15 min before serving. Then fluff with rice paddle and serve. This dude didn't even bother to remove the label, and from the condition of the label he didn't even wash the vessel first. That's just gross!!! Who does that these days?

    Never rinse rice and never stir rice while cooking it. If you need to check if the water has absorbed completely, take a spoon and gently move some of the rice aside. Also, try not to check until the cooking time is up. Opening the lid too often will interfere with the cooking process.
