  Willie LynchJul 28, 2025
  There are several reasons why your Cuisinart cooker might not be turning on. First, ensure the unit is properly plugged into a working power outlet and that the power cord is fully inserted at both ends, as it's removable. Check if there has been a power failure in your area. Also, make sure the cooking pot is in place with ingredients, as the unit may have overheated. If none of these steps work, the unit may have malfunctioned and needs repair.

  If your rice is dry, ensure the steam release vent is in place before cooking. Avoid keeping rice on Keep Warm for more than 12 hours. If reheating, add additional liquid to the cooking pot. Ensure the lid is completely closed during cooking.

  Laura SweeneyAug 6, 2025
  To prevent liquid from boiling over, ensure you're using the correct liquid/rice amounts. Certain rices need to be washed thoroughly prior to cooking. Make sure the steam release vent is properly assembled and in place before cooking. If the rice/grains starch content is high, add a pinch of salt or a drop of oil to your recipe; soaking overnight and rinsing can also help.
