Electric rice cooker with a stainless steel inner pot

Jennie

Is anybody using this kind of rice cooker? Do you like it? Does it worth the extra money as compared to those with a non-sticking inner pot?

Stainless? I think you will spend a lot of time cleaning it.

Depends on what functions you want to get from the rice cooker. Simple ones costs less than $50 at places like Superstore/Walmart.

If you want the full function Asian style, it will cost over $200 depends on size.

I watched the video demo at an electrical appliances shop last weekend and realize that those electric cookers with a stainless steel inner pot need to be washed after use. It will take some time but shouldn't be difficulat because the rice is not burnt.
I assume that they are better than the ones with a non-stick coating because the coating will come off eventually.
I am using an electric rice cooker with a coated inner pot and I had already replaced the inner pot once for about $70  a few years ago.
I'm afraid that those coating debris are not good for health and so I'm considering buying a new cooker with a stainless steel inner pot.
I use my rice cooker just to cook rice and nothing else.   You're right. It costs about $250 +tax for a small one and $280+tax for a large one. That's why I was wondering if it worths it.

I use the same brand.  as long as I use ONLY the plastic ware on it then it's ok.

Wife is considering to switch to stainless steel for health reasons too.  

For stainless steel, you just need to soak the thing in water daily.  We used to do that with our good old National rice cooker back in HK anyway.

用不銹鋼，如果拿嚟煲粥／有料嘅飯，唔知會唔會癡底呢。。。？

我淨係知道，買電飯煲真係唔好慳。。。
平個D，過一段時間，內裡嘅配件／膠邊，好容易爛～ 我未試過，不過聽過囉～～

My National from HK has been running strong for over 10 years. I use it to make congee, heat bread and cook rice. I changed the inner pot like 3 times already, each one is about HKD$250. Since last year the inner pot is discontinued so I need to look at new ones soon.

well so far the best rice cooker I've seen is the one my sister has in Japan. It's not electric, it's gas! The rice is done fast (half an hour) with good texture and very fragrant.

And we are not just talking about a replacement of the inner pot as stainless steel. (those are cheap like $45US on amazon) But a new style made by a Taiwan company to claim even cooking of rice. Frankly I am trying to avoid using non-stick cookware.

I will do some research tonight and post.
