What it can do
A rice cooker controls heating so rice can cook with less stovetop supervision. Many models switch to keep-warm automatically after the cooking cycle, while steamer-equipped versions can prepare suitable foods above the cooking bowl.

Rice texture and water ratio
Rice type, rinsing, age and water ratio all influence texture. Long-grain, basmati, brown rice and other varieties do not necessarily use the same ratio or programme. Use the supplied measuring method and model guidance as the starting point, then adjust only within safe recipe limits.
Everyday uses
- Preparing suitable white and other rice varieties.
- Keeping cooked rice warm where the model supports automatic keep-warm.
- Steaming suitable vegetables or other foods with the supplied steaming arrangement.
- Reducing the need to watch a saucepan continuously.
Do's
- Do measure rice and water consistently.

Don'ts

Cleaning and care
Disconnect and cool before cleaning. Wash the removable inner pot and compatible accessories with non-abrasive tools, dry the outside of the pot before returning it to the base, and keep heating/contact surfaces free of grains and residue.
Rice cooker vs saucepan
A rice cooker automates the heating cycle and can switch to keep-warm, reducing supervision. A saucepan gives more direct manual control but requires closer attention to heat and timing.
