When dal or mutton curry is ready and lovingly looking at you to relish it, waiting for the rice to cook to perfection seems like a challenge. Washing the rice, soaking it, boiling water, adding oil and salt, adding the soaked rice, the process feels too long. What if you are not a pro at cooking rice, and now and then what you get is mushy and sticky rice – not the ‘khila-khila’ rice your mum used to make!?
Kitchen appliances save time and effort and also give you consistent results. Similarly, a rice cooker prepares perfectly cooked rice in no time, every time. In addition to this, a rice cooker also keeps the rice warm for relatively longer due to the way it is built. While testing popular rice cookers available in the markets, both online and offline, we kept functionality, sturdiness, price, and capacity as the parameters for judging.
We purchased 6 rice cookers that offer similar capacities and are in the same price range. After Team Mishry’s tests and reviews, our Top Pick was Bajaj RCX Rice Cooker. It cooked perfectly fluffy rice in less than 15 minutes. Additionally, the rice was evenly cooked.
TOP PICK
Bajaj RCX Rice Cooker is a light-weight appliance that is portable and equally easy to carry and store. It took the appliance a little over 13 minutes to cook 1 cup of rice.

The most efficient rice cooker is…
Testing a rice cooker doesn’t just involve tasting the rice it cooked. It also includes testing other relevant features like the ratio of size to capacity, the cooking time, the cord, the materials used, etc.
We chose 6 rice cookers that offered similar capacities and were in the same price range. Team Mishry put these rice cookers to a four-week test to find the most efficient rice cooker for Indian homes. For a fair and standardized review, we took a cup of Daawat Rozaana Rice for each of the rice cookers.
Least cooking time, identically cooked rice, and a multi-purpose tray, no wonder Bajaj RCX Rice Cooker is our Top Pick. If you are away from home and need the perfect kitchen appliance for cooking complete meals, this rice cooker is something you should consider investing in.
