Shopping For A Rice Cooker
Rice cookers
are usually designed to cook plain rice. Some models have particular
settings for steaming dishes, baking cakes, cooking with seasoning
or meat, etc. Some models offer fuzzy control for precise
cooking for one person to eight persons. Other features include warm
keeping, timer, moisture control, etc.
It is practical
and advisable to choose one with a non-stick pan. Some cookers have
measuring lines in the pan and these can be quite helpful, so look
out for one that has this feature.
Although a clear glass lid
is not necessary, it enables you to see at what stage the rice is
when being cooked. Overall, a plastic lid is preferable because it
is light and safe. If a rice cooker has an inner lid, make sure it's
easy to remove it to clean.
Most rice cookers have a warm
setting which is useful as you can cook it in advance and it will
remain warm till meal time.
Furthermore, a timer is a helpful
feature to have as you can control the cooking time and also know
when it is completely ready.
Rice cookers can be purchased in
major departmental stores in Bahrain and shops selling electrical
home
appliances. | |
