Would this pot be good for cooking rice?

I wish I were able to help you. My son in law wanted this for Christmas. He never has mentioned to me what he uses it for. All I know is my daughter said he really liked it .. so sorry

It fits the pot better than the insert. It's not a tight fit as such but sits well. I would have thought it would be fine for cooking rice although I haven't done that myself yet. Hope this helps

Yes , this pot would be excellent for stews and pot roasts. I use mine to make spaghetti sauce. I never have to worry about the sauce scorching on the bottom due to the high quality of this pot.

I would think so. I use mine to make beer witch get the pot about 215F and this pot works well. I have never cooked any food or sauce in it tho.

I never have tried to cook rice in it, nor would I. I use a rice cooker. This product steams delicious dumplings, and that is what it was meant to do. I recommend you buy this for steamed dumplings and get an inexpensive rice cooker for your rice.

I've only used it for deep frying so far but I don't see why not. It's your average bottom-heated non-stick pot.

About cooking rice - I would assume so but have not tried it. The cooking insert is very large so you would need to cook a lot of rice and probably use the regular heat - not the slow cooking setting.

We have only used ours to cook rice. I would not try to use it as a pressure cooker for anything other than rice. Have you tried to find an owners manual online for this or a similar rice cooker? That may provide better information on what you can and cant use this for.

The lid fits the pot without the insert but it is not a tight fit. I haven't used this pot for rice so I can't provide a complete answer to your question.

Yes definitely. I have a gas stove that I have been using it on. It is a very beautiful pot, I am very happy that I bought this after a lot of researching of competitors products.

I believe the most it will handle is 3 cups uncooked rice at one time. That is the highest mark embossed on the inside of the cook pot indicating the amount water which must be added to the cooker. Another consideration is that there are times when the rice is cooking, that some water will "bubble up" and make its' way outside the lid. Too much more water would only exacerbate this problem.

If you can boil water, it will work. This product is driven by steam. You put appropriate amount of water and rice in the pot, put it in a larger pot (I use a stock pot) add water to the larger pot and get to a boil, reduce the heat to a simmer and then let it steam for the recommended amount of time. If you can control the heat of the stovetop, it works.

I have used it for almost everything including several types of rice. The water boils and than steams. perfect for rice. Nice in that nothing sticks to te bottom.

I don't see a problem, but you will need a 4-inch Lodge lid. Place rice and water in pot, cover, bring to a boil, then reduce heat to simmer.

You should never do anything with the outside pot except plug it in and turn the cooker on when you are going to use it. The dish for cooking the rice sets inside it and removes easily. The water goes in the same pot as the rice.

It would work fine, I probably would only bring the pot and a lid for all cooking needs....if concerned about weight.
