My Observation: What Makes a Great Rice Cooker?
People who have never used an electric rice cooker before should know about some “must-have " features of it, so whenever you are going to purchase, you will compare different models based on their specifications. Here are some of them:
Capacity: Whether you are living alone or with the family, you should check the portion capacity of the model. This is an important factor to notice; if you are living in a joint family, then 2.5 litres of capacity can be a great choice.
Cook and keep warm functionality: Sometimes, when you just made rice in the cooker for the guests and found that they are coming after 2 hours. Then making other dishes warm is easy, but the problem arises with rice. That is why an electric pressure cooker must have keep-warm functionality so that it keeps the rice hotter for longer automatically.
Safety features: Most of the traditional models still have metal handles, which can cause hand burns, especially when you just have to get the pressure cooker down from the stove. That is why most of the ideal electric rice cookers are designed with cool-touch handles. This prevents burns when handling the cooker during or after cooking.
