Frequently Asked Questions:

A: It’s best to follow the water-to-grain ratios provided with the purchased products. All Lotus Foods rices provide cooking directions.

excellent no frills rice cooker I own a few rice cookers, a fuzzy Zo with porridge etc settings, a couple Aromas of various sizes and models, and this Lotus. The others all have no-stick bowls.

The Zo also hasn’t browned the bottom of rice but the Aromas do so nearly every time, which is a demerit on otherwise very good rice cookers. So, if you want stainless…
Keeping it simple The stainless steel cooking pot is what got me interested in this rice cooker. Has a stainless steel steaming tray as well. Does exactly what I need it to do.
