CUCKOO: Korean pressure rice cookers, coffee makers and kitchen kit

Shopping at CUCKOO? See all current CUCKOO promo codes and deals, checked regularly.

CUCKOO started in South Korea in 1978 as Sungkwang Electronics, making rice cookers for other brands. It launched its own pressure rice cooker under the CUCKOO name and took the new name for the whole company around the turn of the millennium. Today it calls itself Korea's number one rice cooker brand. CUCKOO opened its American arm in Los Angeles in 2016, and the US shop sells the full range direct.

Rice cookers are still the heart of it, from simple one-touch models to IH (induction heating) twin-pressure machines that cook white, brown, jasmine and mixed grains. But the range has grown well beyond rice. You'll find coffee makers, a bread maker, cookware, hot water dispensers, water and air purifiers, bidets and certified refurbished appliances. It suits anyone who eats rice often and wants it right every time, and Korean-food fans setting up a kitchen.

What's worth a look

These six were on the homepage at their regular prices when we checked.

The 6-Cup IH Twin Pressure Rice Cooker (CRP-LHTAR0609F) is the showpiece at $599.99. It has a built-in, coating-free stainless steel inner pot, for anyone who would rather not cook in a non-stick coating. It's a serious investment, so it makes most sense in a home that cooks rice several times a week.

Away from rice, the Bread Maker (CBM-AAB101S) costs $179.99 and has 17 menu options, three crust colours and room for loaves up to 2lb. For coffee, there's the 3-in-1 K-Cup Single Serve Coffee Maker at $99.99 and the Classic Drip Coffee Maker at $69.99. The Hot Water Dispenser & Warmer ($139.99) is handy for tea drinkers, and the 11-inch 8-Layer Titanium Diamond & Ceramic Nonstick Wok Pan ($69.99) rounds things off.

Current offers

We list several offers for CUCKOO:

How to save more

• Use the $30 on a big order. The sign-up saving is a flat amount, so it goes furthest on a bigger purchase. Check at checkout whether it can be combined with a code.
• Look at refurbished first. If you're after a pressure rice cooker, a certified refurbished one can cost far less than new. Check the grade and warranty on the product page.
• Clear $80 for free shipping. The drip coffee maker and the wok are both $69.99, just under the line, so adding another small item can save the delivery charge.
