Take the guesswork out of making restaurant-quality rice at home with this easy-to-use rice cooker and steamer. The handy appliance offers a 3-cup rice capacity--great for one or two people or when making a side dish. Simply add dry rice, measure in the water, and turn the unit on with a press of the lever. At the end of the cooking process, it will turn itself off automatically or, by turning the "warm" switch to "on", will automatically switch over to "keep-warm" mode to maintain an ideal serving temperature without over-cooking. The multi-function cooker can also be used to prepare dishes such as breakfast porridge, chicken soup, beef stew, steamed vegetables, and more. At least 1 cup of water needs to be added before starting the cooking cycle, more for longer cooking times. Other highlights include "cook" and "keep warm" indicator lights, stay-cool side handles for safe transport, a generous knob for removing the lid, and 100-percent stainless-steel components, including its exterior housing, interior cooking pot, and lid. A sleek-looking addition to any modern kitchen, the ETL-approved stainless-steel rice cooker measures 9-3/4 by 7-8/9 by 8-8/9 inches and carries a one-year limited warranty.
