PARS Automatic Persian Rice Cooker (7 cup) by Pars

The product quality and performance were exactly as described in the online store. Although basmati rice was not available today, I used Japanese rice and followed the manufacturer's instructions: adding the required amount of water (and a little salt) and liquid oil, and it delivered a delicious roasted "pot bottom" at the bottom of the pot, which is called "tah-dig"in Persian and 御焦げ (おこげ/okoge) in Japanese. I definitely recommend it to those who like to have a delicious "pot bottom" together with a soft and delicious ご飯.

Great Persian rice cooker. Perfect size and perfect tahdig!!!

Love this Persian rice cooker, makes the perfect tahdig rice every time. Definitely recommend to buy.

I wish I could give 0 stars, the package just came today and I opened the box and they sent me used instead of a new one, and it is not working

Outstanding! Made perfect rice with wonderful tahdig. I've made Persian rice since the '70s and never satisfied with crunch in the oven or on the stove, this works exactly as you would want. I read many of the comments and all were helpful, some suggested trial and error, but I had guests for dinner, so I used 5 of the "cups" per the one provided( I bought the 7 cup), washed the rice throughly, soaked it one hour then added the chopped dried apricots and chopped dried sour cherries, 2 tsp salt. Into the pot I put 1/2C ghee, and the suggested amount of water. Turned the dial to 60 minutes and waited until it just came to a boil, added all the rice and fruit, used a coffee mug to compress the rice, turned the dial back to 60, the keep warm 45 minutes. Came out of the pot perfectly, no sticking at all, and perfect dark gold crunchy tahdig. I'm thrilled with this no hassle and dependable cooker for Persian rice. Also happy that it cooked the jeweled rice so that now I know I can't any version I like. The 5 "cups" made plenty for a party of 6 big eaters, so I see no problem with the cup measure that is included with the cooker-a lot of people complained, but, I don't get why, just add one extra of their cups and you'll be fine.BTW- I saw a lot of folks wanting to know about brown Basmati rice, so here's a tip: Wash the brown rice well and soak in plenty of water over night, drain and continue as for white rice, the timing will work for the soaked brown rice with the same timing as white rice, this goes for brown Jasmine rice too, I have no idea if it would work for regular brown rice, never tried it, rarely use it.

It's not like that pot we had in Iran (Pars Khazar).
