Rice cookers

Rice cookers use a simple yet effective principle. You add rice and water, and the cooker heats the mixture. Once the water boils and the steam begins to cook the rice, the temperature starts to rise. The cooker senses this change and reduces the heat to avoid overcooking.

This smart cooking process ensures perfectly cooked rice every time, which makes it ideal for anyone who enjoys rice but prefers a hassle-free cooking experience.

Now that you’re convinced a rice cooker is a worthy addition to your kitchen, it’s important to know what features set the best ones apart. Here are the must-haves to keep an eye out for:

• Capacity: From small, 1-cup rice cookers to larger models, choose one that fits your household's needs.
• Versatility: Look for multicookers that can handle different types of rice, stews, and even risotto. Brands like Panasonic and Breville excel here.
• Non-Stick Inner Pot: Essential for easy cleaning and perfect rice every time.
• Automatic Keep Warm Function: Keeps your rice at the perfect temperature without overcooking.
• Programmable Settings: For cooking various rice types - think sushi rice, brown rice, and more.
