Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Nordic Ware Microwave Tender Cooker 2.5 Quart
Customer Review: Nordic Ware Tender Cooker
Summary: 4 Stars
Nice bullet-proof design. I have a medium sized microwave and this just barely fits (I have to put the pressure cap on after the unit is inside to get sufficient clearance). It makes great rice in about 8 minutes but if you overfill it (more than 1-1.5 cups dry rice max), it will bubble out and make some mess. Cleans up easy.Customer Review: great item, bad condition
Summary: 3 Stars
I purchased this item as a Christmas present to replace an old one that had seen better days. It was delivered directly to the recipient and opened on Christmas morning. The product is a good one, but this particular cooker looked like it had been used as a demonstrator. The edges were covered with a silicone product that had to be scraped off with a knife. It was like that clear silicone you use in your bathroom around your tub. There were drip marks on the inside and outside of the cooker like something starchy inside spilled over and was not cleaned off. In short, it didn't look new, even though it was supposed to be.
I asked the recipient if he wanted to return it and he opted to keep it to save the hassle of repacking it, going to the Post Office to mail it and waiting for a replacement.
Customer Review: Nordic Ware Microwave Tender Cooker 2.5 Q
Summary: 3 Stars
Overall initial impression: good quality, good appearance, fits nicely into my Microwave. Just a little small for items as whole chickens, ribs. First used to cook bonless short ribs. It is necessary to brown meat first before pressure cooking. So, not sure this is a great time saver. Took some adjusting to get the time correct. Fifteen minutes was good. Food tends to "shrink" under pressure so my big meaty ribs came out much smaller. I don't see my using this on a daily basis. Will be usefull now and again. Most necessary to have a book or manual to follow as timing is everything. I bought Miss Vickie's Pressure Cooker Recipies as an aid. Book was very helpful.Customer Review: Handy cooker
Summary: 3 Stars
I purchased one of these years ago and loved it. The book was full of great recipes. I recently moved and my cooker and it's book were lost. So, I purchased another one. This one arrived with some discolored areas and a few dings but otherwise in good shape. I'm not too fussy so I figured it would be fine. The book is no where near the quality of the previous one and none of my favorite recipes are in there. I now have to figure out how to convert recipes so I can use the cooker again. This makes it far less convenient than it was. I wouldn't have purchased it again if I'd known the book was so anemic.Customer Review: NICE THE SHORT TIME IT LASTED
Summary: 2 Stars
Bought this cooker approximately one year ago. Have used it less than ten times. Washed only by hand--never in the dishwasher. Tonight while hand washing it, the lid fell out of the black rim. The silicone seal was partially detached and starting to tear. Could only rate two stars as it did not last very long considering how few times it was used.
