Rice cooker which switches to OFF

 

Most r.c.'s seem to switch to WARM after the rice gets cooked.

I need one which shuts off.

Any suggestions?

 


Rice is pH-neutral and is among the more dangerous
foods to hold between 40 and 140 F.  You probably
won't find one that shuts off.

Why do you want this feature?

keep rice refrigerated?

   I ask that because I have been thinking of eating more rice and the
cookers all make more rice than I would eat at a meal.

   For the OP. These devices are dead simple. You can take them apart
easily and disconnect the warming. There ain't much in there.

Below 40 and above 140 :)

You can refrigerate it. Just make sure you don't shove it in the
fridge in one huge lump, or the center won't cool down fast enough. If
you have a fairly full rice cooker bowl, then dish part of it out so
that it isn't too deep. Or give it a really good stir after an hour.

I usually make a full rice cooker amount and then refrigerate the
leftovers for casseroles or whatever. I also let it warm for a lot
longer as I prefer less sticky rice. I don't like it when it first
says it is ready.

 



Is there something wrong with a pot on the stovetop?
