Question from Carol
My rice cooker does a great job of cooking brown rice. However, the rice is cooked in a hard plastic container. While I think it’s a lot safer than Teflon, I’ve become concerned about the plastic leaching into the rice. (However, I’ve used it for about 16 years, so maybe anything that’s going to leach has already leached.)
Ideally, I’d like to buy a 2 to 4 cup rice cooker with a glass or stainless steel inner liner where the rice is cooked. Unfortunately, most of them have a non-stick inner liner.
Miracle has one that’s all stainless, but I read a review that it has to be worst rice cooker they’ve ever used because it spews sticky stuff all over the counter and on the floor, the rice burns on the bottom, and brown rice doesn’t cook completely no matter how much water you add. The Vitaclay cooker is made from clay, but after reading reviews about mold growing in the clay, electronic problems, clean-up difficulty, etc., not to mention its cost, I’m hesitant to buy one.
Does anyone have a rice cooker they can recommend?
Thanks a lot!
Carol
Debra’s Answer
I cook my rice in my old Visions pot. That way I can see when the rice has absorbed all the water without opening the lid. It also doesn’t require having another appliance.
Readers, any suggestions on rice cookers?
