VEVOR offers a wide range of microwave rice cookers with every possible cooking feature. There is no need to watch over and clean up after using a stovetop when cooking with a microwave rice cooker. Microwave rice cookers cook white and brown rice, while the steamer containers steam vegetables, proteins, and dumplings. The microwave splatter covers keep food from splashing around in the microwave. Each microwave rice cooker is made from safe, food-grade materials that can withstand high temperatures. If the microwave rice cooker you need is in stock, you can order it right away and receive it quickly.
Are you making it easier to make meals during the week by cooking rice and steamed foods faster and with less effort? Because VEVOR microwave rice cookers are well-designed, they do not have the problems that come with poorly made microwave cooking equipment. If you choose the wrong microwave rice maker, you will get uneven cooking results or longer cooking times than with a stove. The right materials, ample space for family portions, and well-thought-out steam vents make VEVOR microwave rice cookers a reliable, time-saving addition to any home kitchen.
The most important things to consider when choosing a microwave rice cooker are the type of cooker and the amount of rice it can cook. The type of cooker determines its cooking function, steam management system, and the range of foods it can cook, besides just rice. The capacity, on the other hand, tells you how many servings the cooker makes per cycle and whether it meets your family's normal mealtime portion needs.
With a microwave rice maker, you can cook white rice, brown rice, and other grains evenly in the microwave. You don’t have to watch over the stove, measure out the water, or clean up afterward, as you do when you cook rice in a saucepan. The cooker body's sealed container has a steam-venting lid that safely vents excess pressure during the microwave cooking cycle. It keeps enough steam in the container to cook the rice evenly through absorption. Cooking rice in a saucepan over high heat creates a risk of boiling over. Microwave rice cookers eliminate this risk, and the enclosed cooking environment prevents starchy water residue from coating the stovetop or microwave cavity during cooking.
There are different sizes of microwave rice cookers. We have small ones that can cook one or two servings of rice for a single person or a couple. You can get larger ones that can cook enough rice for four to six servings in a single microwave run. Cooking time in a microwave rice cooker depends on the amount of rice, the amount of water, and the microwave's wattage. However, the hands-off method (just add rice and water, put the lid on, set the timer, and leave it alone until it is done) is much more convenient. Unlike cooking on the stove, where you have to keep an eye on the heat and the pot the whole time.
Additionally, microwave steamer containers allow cooking all steamed foods that a regular stovetop steamer basket can handle. That includes vegetables, fish fillets, shellfish, dumplings, bao, and other foods that retain moisture, remain crunchy, and retain nutrients when steamed rather than boiled or microwaved. The base of a microwave steamer container holds water; an open steamer tray above it holds the food, and on top is a lid with vents. They keep the steam from the hot water below inside while letting any excess pressure escape safely.
The perforated tray design lets steam flow around and through the food from below, instead of just heating it from the microwave's electromagnetic field. It gives proteins, veggies, and dough-based foods the moist, evenly cooked texture of steam cooking. Multi-tier microwave steamer containers let different foods cook simultaneously on separate tiers above a single water reservoir. It cuts down on the time it takes to make a meal because the protein, veggies, and other components can all be cooked in a single microwave cycle instead of one after the other. Each microwave steamer container is the right size for making everyday meals at home. The tray surface areas and tier heights are based on normal serving sizes for the food types that the steamer can handle.
Microwave splatter covers prevent food splatter from cooking or reheating in open containers or dishes with loose lids. When the microwave is heating, the steam pressure and boiling food send droplets and particles flying onto the ceiling, walls, and turntable. A microwave splatter cover goes over the plate, bowl, or container that is being cooked. The food splatter stays inside the cover's dome, and steam can escape through holes or gaps along the edges. It prevents pressure from building up under the cover during the heating cycle. The splatter cover eliminates the need to clean food splatter out of the microwave after each use.
Microwave splatter covers come in sizes that fit standard dinner plates and large bowls. They have handles or grips that make it safe to lift the cover after the heating cycle without touching the hot cover surface or the steam that comes out when the cover is removed. When you heat foods that are high in moisture, sealed microwave lids can build up pressure. A splatter cover's vented design lets steam escape slowly as it heats. Hence, it is safe to use for all kinds of cooking tasks, including reheating and cooking in an open container.
The materials used and how they work determine the right type and size of cooker for the family's cooking habits and portion sizes. These features also determine the microwave rice cooker's safety, sturdiness, and ease of use over the years of regular kitchen use.
When it comes to microwave cooking equipment, the material structure is the most important factor for safety and durability. It tells you whether the cooker can withstand the heat stress of repeated microwave heating cycles without warping, discoloring, or leaching chemicals into the food during cooking. Plastics used to make microwave rice cookers and microwave steamer containers are BPA-free and approved for microwave use. That means the heat from the cooking cycle will not release bisphenol A or other plasticizers into the rice, water, or food.
The most common material used to make microwave rice cookers and steamer containers is heat-resistant polypropylene. The material is stable at microwave cooking temperatures and does not break easily when handled. It keeps its shape after multiple heating cycles, and can be cleaned in a dishwasher, all of which are important for everyday kitchen use. How evenly the microwave energy heats the container and its contents depends on how consistent the wall thickness is across the cooker body. Walls that are too thin or too thick can create hot spots that cook rice unevenly. The walls of the right thickness throughout the cooker body spread heat more evenly during the cooking cycle. Material food-safety approval and a microwave-safe rating are the bare minimums you should look for in a rice cooker, steamer container, or splatter cover.
The most important safety feature of any sealed microwave rice cooker is the steam-venting lid design. The vent system must slowly release excess steam pressure during the cooking cycle to avoid pressure buildup that could push the lid off. Excess steam can also deform the container under the steam pressure at microwave cooking temperatures. Microwave rice cookers have locking lid mechanisms that keep the lid attached to the cooker body. It becomes safer to move from the microwave to the table while the food is cooking. It keeps the lid from accidentally moving, which would let steam out.
Dishwasher-safe parts on the cooker body, lid, and steamer tray mean you do not have to wash them by hand after each use. That saves time and makes sure that the steam venting channels and perforated tray surfaces, where food residue builds up during the cooking process, are very clean. One-function microwave rice cookers take up more space in the kitchen than multi-function cookers that can cook rice and steam vegetables in the same container. Multi-function cookers can prepare rice, steam vegetables, and cook proteins all with the same small piece of equipment.

The microwave rice cookers range includes microwave rice cookers, microwave steamer containers, and microwave splatter covers. All of these products are made from food- and microwave-safe materials, and feature steam venting systems. They are dishwasher-safe and come in sizes ranging from single-serve to family-size. Look through all our microwave rice cookers to find the type and size that work best for your home and your cooking routine.
There is a lid on a microwave rice maker that vents steam into the cooking area. It keeps steam inside during the microwave cycle, cooking the rice through absorption rather than open microwave heating. The vented lid keeps food from boiling over in the microwave.
Multi-tier microwave steamer containers include a method for stacking trays on a single water-reservoir base. It lets you cook different foods at the same time in the microwave by putting them on different tiers. You can steam the protein, vegetables, and other parts of the meal together instead of one after the other.
The materials used to make microwave rice cookers and steamer cases are heat-resistant and dishwasher-safe. They can handle normal dishwasher temperatures without warping, discoloring, or breaking down after many cleaning cycles. It is best to use a dishwasher to clean the lid's steam venting channels.
