   I didn’t think I needed to add yet another rice cooker to my kitchen. Then an interesting article about Persian Tahdig in the L.A. Times Food Section peaked my interest.The article mentioned use of the Pars Rice Cooker as an alternate way to make the recipe. (I should add that I already have both big and small Zojirushi neuro fuzzy rice cookers, plus a microwave-style rice cooker. In a pinch I can make rice the old-fashion way– Asian and Persian style–using a covered saucepan.)The idea of an ‘automatic’ tahdig cooker was something I just HAD to try. I learned to make tahdig from Cooks Illustrated, tips from Persian friends, and now from the L.A. Times Food Section. The Pars website was out of stock. I lucked out when I was able to buy a 3 cup cooker on Amazon at a great Warehouse price to try it out.Caveat: Looking at the instructions, it was obvious upfront that it would be necessary to make tahdig several times (3 tries in my case) before finally achieving a golden crusty delicious result. I used its standard rice measurer, the SAME measuring size that comes with Asian rice cookers (1 raw rice cooker cup expands to 1 regular cup of cooked rice). I also used the rice, oil, and salt measurements for the 1 cup preparation since at first I was just testing the quality of the tahdig surface. The measurements for oil are in metric (mm) measurements, but fortunately its rice cup included mm measurements.Skip the instructions that come with the rice cooker, which includes perplexing instructions for first adjusting the dial clockwise, looking for a yellow light to then turn the dial counterclockwise while cooking. (I took off 1 star from the Product Review ONLY for this issue regarding the instructions. It takes a few tries to get it right. Do NOT give up after only 1 or 2 tries!)Instead, adjust the dial ONE time, clockwise to the color desired to the shade shown on the dial. (Ex: the black section WILL produce black-scorched rice), so I dialed up to the most yellow color section of the dial–with pleasing golden cooked results. I NEVER saw the light change from red to yellow, then realized it wasn’t necessary to look for a color change of the light. Simply look for the light to turnoff, which signals that the rice is done. To prevent soggy-ness, remove the rice pot once done. Otherwise, the rice will continue to steam, ruining the crispiness of the golden crust.Later I tried making the 2 cup size–which made the tahdig plus a portion of regular rice. The tahdig had same desired results. The regular rice section was acceptable. I would NOT advise trying the 3 cup method. The 3 cup method didn’t allow for enough expansion of the ‘upper’ rice to keep the grains fluffy and separate.Still, if you’re more interested in the tahdig, then all you need to use is the 1 cup method.(In later use, if I did make 2 cups of rice, then after separating the regular rice from the tahdig rice, I transferred the remaining regular cooked rice into my smaller-size Asian rice cooker—using the quick-cooking rice selection to reheat and add fluffiness to the cooked rice that was in the upper section of the tahdig. Hey…I have a thing for Asian rice, and I have the Asian rice cookers, so that works well for me if I need to reheat the regular rice.)Whether to add rice up front – or – wait to add rice once it comes to a rolling boil: The instructions indicate to add the rice once the water comes to a boil. If I’m standing by the cooker doing other things, I’ll add the rice once it’s boiling. However, if multi-tasking away from the kitchen, then I’ll add the rice upfront so I don’t forget it. I did not find any discernable difference between the two methods.I’m glad I got it. So glad, that I bought another to send to my tahdig-loving sister! She hasn’t received it yet, but I’m confident she will enjoy using it and presenting nice and easy tahdigs for her future parties.

   I used the measuring cup it came with, cooked 2 (dry) cups and the pot was full to the rim after cooking. So not a “3” cup as advertised.

   I’m not one to write many reviews but as I love this Tahdig cooker, I had to sing its praises. I’ve been wanting to make Tahdig for a while and watched a lot of videos on YouTube. I found them fairly intimidating but had found references to the Pars cooker. I bought the 4 cup one as there are 2 of us and I don’t entertain big crowds any more. It did sit in its box for a while but once I started using it, it didn’t even go back into the appliance cabinet. I have made only the one cup servings which is more than enough for the 2 of us. Their cup measure is less than a regular measuring cup and it gives a lot of crunch surface area. I’m still experimenting with “darkness” settings and different kinds of oils. I’ve used olive oil, canola oil and ghee and it comes out slightly differently but perfectly and crunchy every time. I do add saffron and have added Greek yogurt to sone batches. I’ve done it with cold water as well as waiting for the water to boil ( when I add the saffron strands and mash them). It’s great every time. The Tahdig comes out of the bowl easily and it’s very easy to clean.

   I have the larger Pars cooker which cooks much better. This one burns the bottom if on the farthest (highest) setting. Good size for two people, though.
