Does anyone have this and like/dislike it? The Amazon reviews are good, and my Zojirushi rice cooker just died. I've had Zojirushi rice cookers the last 10 years and both died at the five year mark. :(

This interesting 3 Squares TIM3 rice cooker (multi cooker) is at my local Costco for $29.99, so it seems worth a try.

Thanks for any input on this product!

Haven't tried that one but I love making rice in the instant pot (and other things of course) - so fast and comes out great

We have an Instant Pot too, but I have never made rice in it b/c I had a dedicated rice cooker. Does the rice stick or is it pretty non stick for rice? Thx!

No issues with sticking - I've done it both straight in the pot and also using bowl in pot techniques

I just saw this today! I'm going to buy it. My rice cooker is totally dead and I want one. I figure if it isn't any good I can return it, because Costco!

It works just fine for rice! DH wants to use it for the yogurt function. A review said the Tim3 is easier for yogurt than the Instant Pot for some reason. I just bought the Oyama 10 cup rice cooker and really like it so far, as it has the stainless bowl. The Oyama makes good rice and is very, very quick compared to my prior Zojirushis. The Oyama does not have any delay timer--just cook and warm. Very basic, but I really like it so far. The Tim3 works nicely too and is a great price for a Multicooker.

My coworker has it and is happy with it. She was raving about all of the foods she could cook in it in no time at all.
