looking to make rice, will it work?

It does get hotter then the nylon handles, but as long as it is not left on the head for excessive amounts of time, it's not problem. I normally have a pot holder next to my oven anduse it on anything that isn't nylon (including lids, and glass out of the microwave) So that may be why I haven't noticed any extreme heat. There are silicone sleeves that can be placed on any pot handle available, but I have never had to use them.

This saucepan is really nice. It will work for anything that you would use a saucepan for. I would not be afraid to make rice in it. I like the even heat and the glass lid.

I believe it would be fine for rice. When the lid is turned so that the straining holes are blocked, very little steam is released ( less, in fact, then my actual rice cooker) The solid bottom creates a good even heat.

Yes, but be sure to turn down to lowest setting...it my be done before the time on your rice package directions, as these pans hold the heat well. For minute rice, take the pan off the burner completely. I hadto learn to cook on low heat with these pans.

These pots are easy to use and cook vegetables, pastas, rice or meats equally well. Just follow your favorite recipes and enjoy.

Absolutely! We've done so several times and loved the results. Important note: although this is a quality rice, it still has some sort of harmless dusty stuff, probably to keep it from sticking. It helps a lot if you rinse the uncooked grains until the water runs clear, before cooking as usual for sushi. ;)

I have only used my silicon rice cooker once with less than stellar results. However, I think that with a few tries it might work well. The silicon steamers are the ultimate for veggies, potatoes, or an occasional chicken breast. I couldn't live without it, but the jury is still out on the rice cooker. Ann mcD

I have not tried it with rice, but small grains would probably fall through until they have cooked.

I've used this for rice. But some grains would get stuck in the holes. It was long grain white rice. Not as much as the metal ones I've used though.

You would have to experiment but I'm sure you could. I've only cooked rice in mine. Really it's just a really good Bon stick plus it retains the moisture really well. It's really well made and easy to clean.

Yes, you can cook as much or as little rice as you want . Just make sure you cook with the right amount of water

I have not done it myself, but you should be able to. The manual says it is fine. I have no trouble with wheat berries or dent corn, so rice should be no problem.

I'm sure it would work just fine. If the rice has microwave directions then just follow them and use this bowl. These are amazing bowls. I have one and ordered more. The outer part does not get hot at all. Now they even come with lids. My first one didn't.

I HIGHLY recommend a rice cooker for rice. I've not used this particular appliance, but own a rice cooker and it is so much easier, better, and more consistent than cooking it on the stove. Set it and forget it!

I have never used mine for rice. It does a great job steaming fish, poultry, and vegatables.

Yes, it will work fine. I have used Pam or coconut oil then dusted with rice flour.

Yes, this one can make brown rice. It takes more water than white rice and double the cooking time but it comes out nicely.

Yes! It is very easy to make with this rice cooker and it comes out great! There are lines on the inside that show you how much water to put for 0.5 or 1.0 cups of rice for porridge.

Yes, all kinds of rice, white or brown, it does a pretty good job. Just follow the instructions.

Hi,Haven't tried - just use it for rice. I make mostly brown rice and the instructions don't allow sufficient cook time so I cook mine longer - fyi. Give beans a try!!

Even tho I usually use rice cookers for rice...I cooked this rice the old fashioned way, on the stove. :) Good luck.
