Elite Gourmet ERC006SS 6-Cup Electric Rice Cooker with 304 Surgical Grade Stainless Steel Inner Pot, Makes Soups, Stews, Porridges, Grains and Cereals, 6 cup (3 cups uncooked), Black

The Elite Gourmet ERC006SS is a versatile 6-cup electric rice cooker that comes with a 304 surgical grade stainless steel inner pot. The non-coated pot is great for those who worry about chemicals leaching into their food. The unit can make soups, stews, porridges, grains and cereals. It has a keep-warm function that allows the cooked food to remain warm for hours. According to the FAQ, the inner pot doesn't have a non-stick coating, but it's easy to clean. Leftover rice can be soaked in the pot for a few minutes, and the rice would come off easily. The lid fits perfectly into the pot, and the users find it easy to clean. The rice cooker can cook up to 6 cups of cooked rice, which should equal 3 cups of uncooked rice. The maximum yield of steamed rice is 20 cups, for which you need to begin with 10 cups of uncooked rice. Although the unit is large, it is portable and lightweight compared to the InstantPot. Users appreciate that they can use the pot to make soup, porridge, noodles, boil vegetables, and reheat food, and that cleaning is easy. They also like the fact that the non-coated stainless pot is healthy and clean. The rice cooker burns some smell when you use it for the first time, but it goes away after a few uses. The electric wire is somewhat thin, and when making porridge, it tends to overflow if no one is attending. So users need to watch it when cooking something other than rice.
