I use this thing every day. Cooks rice perfectly and no Teflon! Couldnt be happier.

I spent a long time trying to find a rice cooker that did not use Teflon. This one has performed admirably over the last 9 months, fitting 3 cups of rice easily. (1 cup = 180mL, or 3/4c imperial.). We have cooked between 1 and 3 cups at a time, and each time the rice has been of a consistent texture. 1:1 ratio, Thai jasmine rice. We'll switch to short grain for winter soon enough, that has been good as well. Haven't tried congee yet, but given the dead-simplicity of the unit I'm sure it's just a question of small adjustments of the ratios.It's a little double-boiler workhorse that can be cleaned easily. Once I get the bulk off, I just put the cooking bowl in the dishwasher. Wipe out the boiler bowl with a paper towel if there is water remaining.It needs about 1/4 cup more water in the boiler base than the instructions call for, otherwise the steam runs out early. We also put a weight on the lid to keep it down, a 200g stone. Small concessions to achieve great benefits: enabling the elimination of Teflon and silicone in our household.
