I have owned several rice cookers as we love rice in our family. I had planned to by a Zojirushi but was disappointed when I found that they did not have any with a stainless steel pot on the inside. I have stopped using any cookware products with non stick interiors. So I kept searching for a quality rice cooker but only found aluminum interiors, and I didn't want that. The odd thing is, you can find many rice cookers with beautiful stainless steel EXTERIORS but not stainless inside, where you need it!
I happened onto a rice discussion amongst some Asians and they were saying they love their Zojirushi and they love their Tayama. I had never heard of Tayama, did a search and found this. And I was very excited to see it had a stanless steel interior version available....wahoo!
I was skeptical, but bought it anyway. This rice cooker ROCKS! It is fantastic. I have cooked long, short, white, brown, sushi, sticky and every time it has been perfect...each little grain fluffing perfectly.
A big plus is it cooks my steel cut Irish Oatmeal beautifully, giving it a nice firm crunch....I hate soggy, lumpy oatmeal.
I have a kitchen full of stainless steel so I was a bit unsure of the flowers on the outside, but I just don't care, this little cooker is great. I have used it daily for 3 weeks now and it is perfect.
The directions could be better, they loose something in translation, for instance it tells you not to clean pot with sandpaper. I'm sure they meant a hard abrasive, but it is kind of funny. They also refer to the rice cooker as "An Electric Jar".
If you are looking for a high quality rice cooker with a stainless interior pot, this is your cooker! |
We like it

After doing some research on a rice cooker with a stainless steel pot, we found this one. There are so many rice cookers with stainless steel outside but not the pot. Most of rice cookers on the market have nonstick pot. Despite its lower ratings, I decided to give Tayama a shot.
The seller packaged it carefully and shippped it quickly. The rice cooker is big enough to cook for several people. It is very easy to use. Use the cup it comes with to measure rice. Add water to reach the corresponding water level marked on the pot. For example, if you add 4 cups of rice, add water to reach water level 4 on the pot. Push the cook button down. The rice will be ready in around 20 minutes.
We have been using the rice cooker for around 3 weeks. Compared with nonstick pot, stainless steel pot is relatively difficult to clean. I always soak the pot with water. Then it becomes very easy to wash. To avoid TEFLON and aluminum, it is the way to go. Now we replaced most of utensils by stainless steel ones. We only keep one hard anodized nonstick stir-fry pan for cooking. Aluminum may cause Alzheimer's Disease. Avoid aluminum whenever possible.
