The Cuisinart CRC-400C is a basic 4-cup rice cooker with a brushed stainless steel body and a stainless steel cooking pot. A single lever sets Cook or Warm, and the unit flips to Warm on its own when the rice is done. It is a simple, small-batch machine for singles, couples and side dishes, and it skips the timers, presets and nonstick bowls that pricier cookers add. Owners like the stainless pot and easy cleanup; the common complaints are rice sticking and browning at the bottom.

Owners describe a compact, easy-to-clean cooker that does plain rice well for one or two people. Many note sticking and a browned layer at the bottom, and some find the warm function limited.
This Cuisinart rice cooker cooks up to 4 cups of rice. It has a brushed stainless steel housing and a stainless steel pot, with a tempered glass lid and a chrome-plated knob.
A lever switches between "cook" and "warm" settings. When the rice is cooked, the cooker switches to "warm" automatically. A stainless steel steaming pot is also included.
Every part is easy to clean, and the cooker is easy to carry.
