Nontoxic Rice Cooker

Nontoxic Rice Cooker

If you eat a lot of rice, then chances are pretty good that you own an appliance called a rice cooker.  Rice cookers are considered to be a Godsend by many people.  They allow you to have your rice come out perfectly nice and fluffy every single time.  Plus rice cookers make it possible for you to have your rice cooked unattended.  Furthermore, they allow you to keep your rice warm all day long.

Unfortunately, there is a downside to most of the rice cookers sold in stores.  They have a nonstick coating that is made of toxic materials like Teflon.  So if you have made the switch to stainless steel with your pots and pans, then you are going to want to change out your rice cooker as well.

When opting for a rice cooker without a nonstick coating, you can choose to buy either one with an inner pot made of stainless steel or clay.  Both will be able to cook up good rice with just a press of a button.  However, you do need to realize that a clay or stainless steel rice cooker will be somewhat different from a nonstick one.

Since neither a stainless steel or clay rice cooker has a nonstick coating, there is a high probability that the bottom layer of rice will stick to the pot.  To help lessen the chances of this happening, make sure you cook your rice with a sufficient amount of water.  Also, try applying a thin layer of oil or butter to your rice cooker before adding the water and rice.
