A Note on Using Stainless Steel
Unlike non-stick pots, rice may stick to stainless steel initially. For best results, allow rice to rest in the cooker on 'Keep Warm' for 10-15 minutes after cooking. This allows the moisture to distribute evenly and makes the rice fluffier and less likely to stick. For more detailed tips, please refer to the user guide.
Care Instructions
- The stainless steel inner pot is highly durable and dishwasher safe.
- Unlike non-stick pans, metal utensils can be used, but silicone or wooden utensils are still recommended to preserve the finish.
- Wipe the cooker body with a damp cloth. Do not submerge.
