Elite Gourmet ERC006SS 6-Cup Electric Rice Cooker with Stainless Steel Inner Pot, Makes Soups, Stews, Porridges, Grains and Cereals, 6 cup (3 cups uncooked), Black

I purchased this rice cooker after having a much bigger, expensive digital cooker for almost 10 years but the inner pot became so scratched overtime that it needed to be replaced. After shopping around I realize that almost all rice cookers come with a coated, nonstick bowl. I began searching for a more durable and healthy stainless steel bowl and this is what I found. Its much smaller and simpler than my previous model and Id like to compare the two. This cooker with the stainless steel bowl only has two settings, once you plug it in the unit is set to warm, when the bowl is placed inside you can switch on the cook option. It cooks two cups of uncooked rice in max, about 20 min- which is WAY faster than my last rice cooker. The bowls in regards to stuck on food is exactly the same, not less or more, which I thought the steel bowl would be worse but its not at all. The key is to scrape the bowl and fluff the rice once its done cooking, the longer it sits the more it sticks. The lack of bells and whistles is actually pretty great, as the last cooker had 8 settings, (I actually baked a few cakes in it), but its just not necessary at all, all I want is rice. The simplicity makes it very easy to clean; theres just two parts, the lid and the bowl. The digital cooker had an attached lid that had to be wiped clean with a cloth but also had a silicone lip around it and a steam vent that wasn't removable, so to be thorough it had to sit open for hours to allow any hidden moisture to dry up. An open rice cooker was always sitting out on my counter waiting to be put away once it was finally dry. The older cooker also had an excess water collector on the side of the machine that began to leak. But that old cooker did keep rice warm for the entire day. I assume that because of the steam valve on the lid of newer cooker that it will eventually dry out if left on warm all day. Its so small that it can be stored almost anywhere, and theres no plastic, which I love. The only issue is the flimsy and cheap scoop and measuring cup that actually came broken but I would've thrown them out anyway due to the poor quality. Overall I love the new rice cooker with the stainless steel bowl, its easy to clean and does a great job. I wouldn't make more than 2 cups of rice in it but its perfect for what I need.

Impressed with this rice cooker! Good value for the money. Especially like the stainless steel bowl. Cleans up very easy. No concerns with Teflon type bowls where Teflon coating could peel off overtime.

Good quality, works great n nice

Bought two of these to escape Teflon and ceramic in food.. The pot is nice metal easy to clean and so far not damaged from metal forks.. Nice Looking too... Actually cooks faster than aluminum pots...

Does a wonderful job cooking oatmeal. Just add ingredients according to recipe on the rice, and it cooks automatically. No need to watch carefully for over boiling and it cooks quicker than my range as well. Also cooked brown rice nicely. Both stick slightly even if removed from heat immediately when the high setting shuts off, but no burning and I just scrape it into the cereal or rice and it mixes in fine.

Perfect size it’s not too large and not too small. Easy cleaning and very affordable. I cook 2 cups easily and it’s easy to use the instructions are simple to follow. I cooked stick my rice and the texture turned out perfect.

Don't expect a full zorijushi level experience for the price, but it does what it claims. No scratches or marks and nice quality seal on the parts, some rice may stick to the bottom as it will with any stainless steel rice cooker. Function is the same as any other rice cooker, simply throw it in, add your water, press the lever down and wait. It has a warm function which will hold your rice at temp after cooking, though I have had issues with rice burning to the bottom after using the warm function for too long.
