I have a Pensonic rice cooker I've been using for 3 years. It was gifted to a family member around 10 years ago, they never had a use so they passed it on to me when I needed one.

I use it 3 to 4 times a week. The non stick at the base has almost completely peeled off despite never using rough sponge or metal utensil.

I'm looking for a replacement rice cooker. What to get? I just need a basic rice cooker to cook rice. There are non stick, aluminium, ceramic, stainless steel pot. What's the pros and con of each?

I'm considering this Panasonic model: https://www.panasonic.com/my/consumer/kitch...r/sr-jn105.html

It should be max 1.0L, but at least 0.6L

Tefal one not bad, any models with spherical bowl. Lots of settings too for different kinds of food.

Buy stainless steel pot.

Still using old microcomputer Panasonic rice cooker already 7 year still no sign of coating tearing off, aluminum usually the rice is easier stick and become wasted , no experience on ceramic and stainless, but stainless material for cooking purpose very easy stick to pan if no experience on cooking

After use the pot i just fill water covered half after meal then soft sponge wipe and wash without extra tedious care is needed

I don't have any particular brand can recommend but all i can advice rice cooker with timer make your life easier especially for early morning, the given menu and function use or not depends on you for me i never use except timer

I'm still waiting my rice cooker rosak but still sangat degil i also plan to change new rice cooker 😂

Get any reputable brand with IH (Induction Heating). Tefal, Panasonic, Toshiba, Buffalo etc.

The non-stick/Teflon inner pot needs to be handled with care to avoid scratching off the coating.
The stainless-steel inner pot gives you peace of mind because it has no 'harmful' coating, but it comes at a higher price point.
The stainless-steel inner filter that claims to filter out extra starch and reduce sugar is just a gimmick.

This. I really rather not have forever chemicals mixed with my rice, thanks.

Stainless steel is fine. No need non stick for rice cooker.

1. Try buy inner pot first. They do sell replacement

2. I recommend Zojirushi if buy new rice cooker

Zojirushi is made in Japan yeah? Probably safer to buy those authentically made in Nippon ones.

Yes made in Japan. Cost me S$2xx getting one more than 10 years ago but still working fine til today

For the safety and peace of mind of the family and loved ones ... worth every dollar spent.

Zoji, Toshiba for thick pot
Khind for stainless steel
Tatung for steam rice

I don't cook, but just recently bought one for my family and was told that the new stainless steel pot is better than aluminum in terms of durability.

Hitachi, more than 13 year and still refuse to die.

ayam use buffalo stainless steel one

all non stick is crap n cancerous

other than pensonic, all other brand should be find LOL

Khind Anshin. SS inner pot. More than 5 years and still going strong.

National brand. Almost 30 years strong in my parents house.

Get anyone with sales pitch on Thick inner pot.
Avoid Tefal, the service center i went to showed me many waiting to be repaired.

invest a bit on a good rice cooker. it goes a long way and you enjoy nice rice.
