Rice cookers · Choose by your needs
If a separate Steam menu is the requirement, the Cuckoo CR-0655F and CMC-QSB501S both document one. The CR-0655F does not list an included steam basket, while the CMC-QSB501S includes a steam plate; neither accessory fact proves that steaming food can share a rice cycle.
Comparison updated 29 October 2026.
The examples contrast menu presence with included accessory and same-cycle evidence; all exact Steam-menu matches remain available.
| Model | Separate Steam menu | Included accessory evidence | What remains separate |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cuckoo CR-0655F | Steam menu documented | No steam basket listed in the reviewed package | Do not infer an included plate or rice-under-steam plan |
| Cuckoo CMC-QSB501S 5-Quart Premium Pressure Multicooker | Steam Cook menu documented | Included steam plate | Concurrent Jasmine cooking on that plate is not established |
Choose it when: The exact CR-0655F manual identifies a separate Steam menu, while its package facts do not list an included steam basket.
The limit: Menu presence does not establish that a steam plate comes in the box or that rice cooks beneath food on the same cycle.
Choose it when: The exact CMC-QSB501S manual documents a Steam Cook menu and lists a supplied steam plate, making the accessory distinction explicit.
The limit: The source does not establish that the steam-plate recipe can run together with its Jasmine rice routine; choose a separate same-cycle method if that is essential.
Both featured models have maker-documented Steam menus. Their package evidence differs: the CR-0655F does not list an included steam basket, while the CMC-QSB501S lists a steam plate. Confirm the accessory and its intended use separately.
The CR-0655F same-cycle rice-and-steaming arrangement is not established; the CMC-QSB501S steam-plate method is also not established as concurrent with Jasmine rice. If you want rice below steaming food, use the dedicated same-cycle answer and its exact grain, batch, and height limits.
If a named Steam control is required for another cooking task, these are two documented examples. The evidence does not compare steaming speed, capacity, or results, and the menu label cannot substitute for a specific food clearance or combined rice recipe.
No. The CR-0655F has a documented Steam menu but no included steam basket is listed. The CMC-QSB501S separately lists a steam plate.
Not based on menu presence alone. The cited evidence does not establish a concurrent rice-and-steam recipe for either featured configuration; use the separate combined-cooking answer when that is required.
