Sunpentown SC-886 3-Cup Stainless-Steel Rice Cooker and Steamer

We enjoy white rice each and every day for as long as I can remember and we have waited a long time for an 3-4 cup rice cooker that utilized a non-coated stainless inner steam pot. For the past two years Sunpentown's competitor's 8 cup stainless cooker has been our mainstay and though it has been a nice unit it was always an effort to clean the stainless pot and learned that soaking it with soapy water for 30 minutes was very helpful, but still two of us didn't require such a large cooker.

The Mr. Rice 3 Cups Stainless Steel Rice Cooker and Steamer - Model SC-886 Rice Cooker by Sunpentown is a well designed and quality product. I have cooked rice fast and effortlessly twice a day now for more than a month. The cooker's small
footprint works well on my boat where I have little counter space. It also matches and looks great along with all my other stainless steal pots, pans and kettle.
The inner pot cleans up easily with no sticking. There is only one caution. And that is the outer surface like any pot or pan can become extremely hot during the cooking process. I am very happy with this product.
