Another small kitchen appliance that'll make cooking easier is the Hamilton Beach Rice Cooker that also doubles as a food steamer. Unlike some advanced models, this one only has five preset buttons that make it super user-friendly. It can hold up to 8 cups of food and comes with a steamer basket that allows you to steam vegetables and prepare rice at the same time. Another perk is all removable parts are dishwasher-safe, so it's a breeze to clean.

A satisfied shopper loves that this device is easy to use and added that "rice is perfect every time."
