A rice cooker with an uncoated stainless steel inner pot is useful if you prefer a durable cooking surface without a nonstick coating. Stainless steel is easy to clean, but rice can stick to it. Follow the cooker’s water ratios and cleaning instructions rather than assuming that the material itself prevents sticking.
But how do you choose the best rice cooker? What about the pros and cons of such appliances? Find all the answers in this buyer’s guide.
Instant Pot DUO60 – Versatile 7-In-1 Cooker
What we like: The Instant Pot DUO60 combines pressure cooking, slow cooking, rice cooking, steaming, sautéing, yogurt making, and keeping food warm in one appliance. Its stainless steel inner pot offers an uncoated cooking surface. Use the instructions for the exact model and recipe, including the pressure-cooking fill limits.
All you need to know: The stainless steel inner pot has no nonstick coating, so rice may stick and need soaking before washing. Select the size that suits your household and check the accessories included with the exact model. The total pot volume is not its usable capacity for rice during pressure cooking.
