Vegan Tools: Sanyo Rice Cooker

Yes, you can make rice on your stovetop with a pan, but rice cookers take the guess work out of rice cooking. With a rice cooker, your rice will be perfect every time and you don't have to watch it.

The Sanyo Micom Rice Cooker & Warmer is micro-computerized with multi-menu selections that allow you to make various kinds of rice. With it (and its fuzzy-logic controls and temperature settings) you can make any type of rice and porridge. Use it for steaming or slow-cooking soups and stews.

The Sanyo Micom Rice Cooker & Warmer has a Titanium-coated, extra-thick, nonstick inner pot with a rounded bottom for maximum heat distribution. The inner pot also features a water fill line for rinse-free rice and sprouted brown rice. After cooking is complete, a Keep Warm function automatically kicks in to keep your dish warm until you're ready to serve.

On the front of the Sanyo Micom Rice Cooker & Warmer is a clock and timer. The LCD clock and 24-hour, preset timer let you set it and go. The Cook/Reheat button keeps your rice in a keep-warm mode; it can be reheated in about five minutes and served as if it were freshly cooked.

Included with your Sanyo Micom Rice Cooker & Warmer is a steaming tray for vegetables, a measuring cup, nonstick spatula and a multi-language instructional manual with recipes. And the best part of the machine is a retractable cord feature that keeps counters neat and the cord out of the way.

Sanyo Micom Rice Cooker & Warmer comes in three sizes: 3.5 cup, 5.5 cup and 10 cup. If you do a lot of entertaining and rice making, I suggest the 10 cup. This serves several capacities in my kitchen... warms leftovers up, travels well for potluck meals, great for sushi rice.
