I think it does the same job as the others.

Hi b2b3m4, regarding using thermal pot to cook rice, if I cook my rice at around 2 pm and eat dinner at around 7 pm, do I need to reheat the rice when I come back? For hygiene purpose, is it safe to just eat rice without reheating? Also will the rice be warm at around 7 pm? Also, do I need to buy the expensive brands like Tiger or will the cheaper brands will just as well? Thanks very much in advance for sharing.

Well well, I see this thread too late. Just bought a Philips one yesterday. Cost > 200. It has a very heavy pot inside and can do 11 different menus.


I would have considered the Stainless steel type if I had known there was such. I think stainless steel material are safer and better for health.

Anyway, I got my cooker at half price because of Birthday month so it’s a good deal, no complains.

Used it to cook old melon soup yesterday. Was good. Tomorrow will try congee and then rice. Hope I can use it to cook congee for dd for breakfast in futures as it has a preset start timer.

That should not be a problem. But the rice won't be piping hot if that is ok.
Otherwise for me, i will just throw the rice into the microwave oven and heat up for a minute.
I have only used Tiger and Thermos brand so far, so i can't comment on the cheaper brands.

I tried using my mid sized Endo thermal to cook rice for my family once. I started cooking around 1pm, and by 6pm, the rice was warm (not piping hot). I probably added too much water as hub and kids said the grain was softer than usual. I also had to stop myself from opening the pot to check the rice; worried that the heat will escape and upset the cooking procedure. Anyway, that was one-off experiment. In the end, I sticked back to rice cooker.

When my youngest started off with solid and soft food, I used the small thermal pot to prepare his porridge/oatmeal/mixed rice grain. I added the meat and veg towards the last, just before feeding. Sometimes I will use the accompanied small pot to steam egg/fish. It was a great helper then. I could run errand or do other stuff without spending too much time checking on his porridge.

This rice cooker has a stainless steel body with plastic molding, plus an all-polished stainless steel cooking bowl, steamer tray and inner lid. The triple layered cooking bowl bottom ensures no sticking or burning of rice during cooking and warming. 3-dimensional heating from the lid side and bottom ensures perfectly cooked rice, and the cooker has an automatic 'keep warm' mode. The cooker can also be used to steam vegetables, meats and other foods using the stainless steel steamer tray.

Hi, I know what you are talking about. My mom gave me a single level one which I love it so much that I bought one three levels online at less that $50. No more over-priced Buffalo ss pot. These lunch box cooker is better than any rice cooker, stainless steel, easy to wash, come with air-tight covers and its cheap! Lucky I didn't spend a bomb on the Buffalo pot.

It's so easy & convenient to use, just add water to the outer & inner pot, very small in size so can save space. You can also use it like a thermal lunch boxes carrying it around. The only minus point is that you can only cook one meal for 3-4pax.
