Joie Microwave Rice Cooker (18x18x5cm)

Some kitchen tasks are simply easier when a powered tool is ready to lend a hand.

Use it when its useful function suits what you are preparing. Set it up according to the manufacturer instructions, keep the working area clear and allow the appliance to handle the powered part of the job.

The appeal is easy to understand when the same task comes around again. Instead of starting from scratch or improvising with unsuitable equipment, you can reach for a machine made for that purpose, follow the controls and focus on the food or drink you are preparing.

Whether you are buying for yourself or choosing a present, it helps to pick something that will actually be used. This has the kind of practical appeal that can make it a welcome addition from the first use rather than a gift that is admired once and forgotten.

Used according to the supplied directions, it can become a welcome helper for meals, drinks and busy days at home.

• Size or capacity details: 18x18x5cm.
• Powered operation reduces manual effort during preparation.
• Useful when the same kitchen job comes around regularly.
