  • Baby bear porridge!

    Oh the convenience of being able to make perfect porridge with zero effort!!
    Thank you grain master!
    Now the weather is cooler I am really appreciating your ability on the porridge front. There is nothing like enough porridge for every family member easily made (with simple dishes to wash) and it cooking while you shower, get dressed and pack lunches!
    Make your family some porridge tomorrow – you won’t regret it!

  • Lentils Salad

    Another great recipe tried today. It was very easy to make. Just put the lentils and water to cook in the Philips Grain Master Rice Cooker and left to the playroom to have fun with my beautiful daughters. When it was ready, put on the side to cool it down. In the meantime chopped onions, green olives, fresh chives, parsley and oregano with a drizzle of olive oil, white wine vinegar, salt and pepper. Mixed all together. Fried some halloumi cheese and that was it, lunch was done! Quickly, easy and delicious, thanks to my amazing Grain Master Rice Cooker!

  • Great flavour perfect cooking

    I have now owned the Philips grain master for about two months. Very simple to use as it does the thinking for you by the weight of your food it adjusts the time. Following the recipes in the booklet and changing to your tastes is so easy. If food goes up between the lid and the lid plate it is easy to remove the inner lid for cleaning and it just pushes back in. Same with the steam hole plastic part.

    Risotto is so simple as you use the quick cook function to cook off your onion, mushrooms and garlic if wanted. You then change the setting to standard function and add rice and stock. It states to add cut up chicken or prawns and soft vegetables when it has five minutes left to cook. I have found that I add these ingredients (not prawns) from about half way through cooking with excellent results. Keep you eye of the moisture content and add more stock if needed. I love this appliance and use it often. I recommend you to make the porridge. It will be the best you have ever eaten.

  • Very happy

    I would like to share with you all how happy I am. Every time I use my Philips Grain Master Rice Cooker is a new great achievement. I am using it heaps and it is very easy to use and even more to clean. It saves me a lot of time as I don’t have to be watching while it is on. If you need a great Grain/Rice Cooker I really recommend the Philips Grain Master Rice Cooker.

  • Deliciciois quinoa salad

    We tried quinoa in the Grain Master for the first time and it cooked perfectly.

    We made the Asian quinoa taboulleh from the recipe book and it was super easy and really delicious. I’m pretty sure this will become a regular dish in our household! It’s great to have something you can make in advance as well (I cooked the quinoa and prepared the other ingredients then just mixed it all together when we were ready to serve.)

    I’m pleased with the warming function on the Grain Master as well. My old rice cooker would rapidly dry out the rice on the warm setting, and it would burn and stick to the bottom. The Grain Master doesn’t do this and everything I’ve left on warm so far has kept really well.

  • Recipes

    The recipes that came with the user manual were very varied! I liked how it gave me a broad overview of ideas of how to use the rice cooker! However, I felt the recipes could be organised a bit better with ingredients listed according to the sequence they fit in the recipe. I always find that much easier to follow.

  • Easy vegetable risotto (served with pan fried chicken)

    We made a really easy vegetable risotto for dinner that we were very pleased with. We just fried some onion and garlic in olive oil in the Grain Master on the quick cook function and then added the aborio rice. We chucked in some frozen veggies and stock (just guessed the amount of liquid!) and then cooked on the standard function.

    After it was finished we stirred through a little butter and left it on warm for a bit then served topped with Parmesan cheese and some pan fried chicken. It was so easy, and would have been a lovely meal without the chicken too.

    We’re finding the Grain Master easy to use, easy to clean, and great for producing delicious, well-cooked meals for the family.

  • Reheating magic!

    I’ve never had a rice cooker with a reheat function before and I had precooked cous cous that I needed to reheat (which also had chicken and vegetables in it). Although the instructions don’t mention cous cous I thought I’d just try the reheat function anyway.
    I followed the instructions which say to add a little water to the food to prevent it from becoming too dry and used the reheat function from the menu. 25 minutes later I had a perfectly cooked and very fresh dinner that didn’t seem like it had been reheated, but cooked fresh! Much better than in a normal microwave.

  • 6 months on and we couldn't imagine life without it!

    About 6 months ago we were sent the grainmaster to put through its paces and see if it lived up to the hype. I can honestly say that the Philips Grainmaster is now an integral part of our kitchen. We use it to create a quick rice side dish, or to make risotto as a main (which the kids love) and this winter I have been using the fabulous delay start to ensure everyone wakes on these cold winter mornings to piping hot, delicious porridge! My husband is a chef and even he says he doesn’t know what he ever did without it. My 9 and 7 year olds have been able to contribute to dinnertime as it’s easy enough for them to use! They’re currently on clearance through TVSN so grab one while they’re cheap!!

  • Fabulous

    Rice cookers are a great invention aren’t they? I love how you can cook it and walk away. I love how you know it’s going to cook right the first time and you won’t need to re do or put up with uncooked or over cooked rice and grains. I would recommend this to my family and friends and others because it’s just so darn good and affordable and all of the above. Thanks Philips you have done it again. Cheers!

  • Awesome

    Ok so I really dis like when you go to cook rice on the stove or in the microwave and the texture becomes off or you over cook or under cook or the rice sticks to the side of you pans and containers, so annoying. Using this rice cooker it simply does not do it, it cooks the rice perfectly every time without exception. I would recommend this to anyone and all family and friends. It is a good price too . Thank you Philips

  • Great Rice

    My little boys love cooked rice to eat, but I was getting so sick of every time I cook it, it would flow over the container or the stove too. Then you have to get the right consistency and cook it so it’s not under or over. So I got fed up and bought this rice cooker. What a life saver. The rice obviously never spills over any more and then the rice is always cooked perfectly. I love not having to clean up a mess in the kitchen any more.

  • What a great product

    I love the Philips Grain Master Rice Cooker it cooks the rice quick and easy. Its fluffy and smooth. It is a lot easier than doing the old way on the stove top and having to constantly stir it and plus you don’t have all the starch. The rice cooker is easy to use and easy to clean so it makes my job a lot easier.

  • Love the Master Rice Cooker but no off switch?

    I’ve been using the Philips Grain Master Rice Cooker for a few months now and use it at least 2-3 times a week with different grains. However, I’m not sure if i’ve missed something but I can’t find the off switch for it? There is the keep warm function which is amazing, but when i’m done, i always switch it off at the power point rather than an ‘on/off’ switch that i thought would be located on the cooker itself. It’s not an issue and doesn’t affect the usage of the cooker but just something i thought i would raise.

  • Easy to use and versatile too

    The Philips grain cooker is very easy to use. I’ve used it to cook brown rice and white rice. It was much easier to cook brown rice than on the stove and the cooking was even all the way through and times really well. I just press the required button and done. Also the recipe book was great to inspire me to use it for cooking other grains. I made porridge this morning and it was very easy to follow and make though it did take 1 and a half hours so you have to time it better, but happy with the results of the porridge. My bub enjoyed it too. The only thing I can say is that it is quite big so you need to make sure you have space for it and also the measuring cup they give you is pretty small and only 160mls. Should be just a standard cup I think so you will actually use it. I ended up just using my own measuring cup.

  • It's useful for every meal!!

    So in my ignorance I have only ever thought of using this for tea and lunch…. well, looking in the recipe book I discovered this awesome recipe for breakfast – hooray for Saturday morning cooked brekky! I love being able to try something different to the usual bacon and eggs.
    It is very easy to use and make however I have learned that to get such awesome results, you have to be organised and not leave it to the last minute to prep it otherwise you will be waiting 95 minutes till you eat!

  • It is Sooo super easy to clean it almost cleans itself!

    After cooking any grain in this appliance, it doesn’t matter how much mess there is although normally little to none, it is so easy to clean… Warm water and small amount of dishwashing liquid on your brush or sponge and it practically wipes clean… In fact you could probably use a piece of paper towel to clean the insert. Use, wash put away… Less dishes, less mess and more time to enjoy with your family. What more could you ask for?!

  • Quickly cooked fluffy soft rice with none of the mess!

    Easy peasy… I am always busy running around after my young children so majority of the time I don’t have very long to fuss around in the kitchen. My family and I love to eat pasta, rice and other grains and many times I have burnt the water out of the saucepan cooking these because I got side tracked with the kids which is not only messy but dangerous. I am loving how easy the grain master cooks the elements and also that I can safely leave it without any worry while I attend to my children and other household duties. Highly recommend!

  • Really Enjoying using it... Highly recommend to any grain lover!

    I have used the grain master a few times now and it gets easier every time and less mess too. Not only is this appliance great for set and forget cooking but it is very easy to clean and maintain too. I love cooking all sorts of grains in it especially plain old white rice as the mess this usually makes using a saucepan is not pretty and once baked onto your stovetop is hard to remove. You don’t have to worry about any of that with the grain master… What a great invention!

  • Risotto - Quick and so easy, even my 9 year old could do it!

    We’ve had some trouble with the porridge side of things – too sloppy. We are yet to try the recipe from the book with less liquids, but I know once we figure it out, it will be perfect.
    Tonight, we decided to allow Miss 9 to try her hand at using the Grain Master. Since receiving the Grain Master, Risotto has been a favourite in the household. The kids say they would eat it every night of the week, and I have to say it stands up to even the best risotto I’ve eaten at a fancy restaurant.
    I cut up bacon and chicken for her and showed her the ‘quick cook’ button so that she could use the pan like she would a frypan. She used the good old tupperware chopper to do the onions and threw the lot in. Once they had cooked nicely, she put in two cups of aborio rice, then chicken stock to cover the rice, about 2cm over the top. She put it on the Brown Rice function and we went outside to play cricket! It didn’t even take half an hour, and the house smelled so good. I forgot to take a photo of her with her masterpiece, and when I went to take a photo afterwards, it had all disappeared. The kids all had seconds, and my husband had thirds! There was even enough for my dad who popped in on his way home from work – my daughter was so proud to be able to dish it up for him.
    The Philips Grain Master Rice Cooker has fast become the most used kitchen appliance we own. Everything I have used (apart from the porridge – which was still delicious, just a bit runnier than we like it!) has worked beautifully and tasted amazing. I seriously can’t recommend it highly enough.

  • Perfect rice

    This is the second time that I have used the Philips Grain Master Rice Cooker and I can say that I am so impressed. The Grain Master is the first rice cooker I have ever used and I can’t believe how perfect the rice comes out. The rice even stayed perfect on the keep warm setting for over an hour! I will never go back to cooking my rice in a saucepan on the stove.

  • These are so cute! Although, I am not overly sure where I would be able to buy slider buns. Ones I have seen at the supermarket all seem to be larger size. Anything with lamb though and I’m in! I love that it uses a nice yoghurt instead of tzatiki, which I hate!

  • This recipe looks delicious however I am not a huge fan of lamb. I wonder if I replaced it with another type of meat it would taste as good. It also has a lot of ingredients so wouldn’t be something I could just whip up, I would need to shop first.

  • Delish recipe! I made something with similar flavours tonight, Arayas in Lebanese bread. And I had my trusty Ansell gloves, allspice and lamb is lovely but not when the smell is stuck on your hands! I’ll have to give this a go, it’s definitely something I’d love and sounds like a perfect family meal
