The Panasonic Japanese Rice Cooker takes the stirring, hovering, checking and temperature adjusting out of dinner preparations for delicious home-cooked meals. With a capacity of up to 5 cups of uncooked rice, the rice cooker works well for healthy meals for one or two people, as well as large feasts when cooking for family or friends. Easily choose a pre-programmed setting to cook anything from brown rice, white rice, glutinous rice, mixed rice, short or long-grained rice – cooked to restaurant-quality perfection. For a quick and healthy addition, fill the rice cooker's steamer basket with fresh vegetables. Press the quick cook/steam function for quick appetizing side dishes. The rice cooker's automatic shut-off function prevents overcooking, while its keep-warm setting activates automatically when cooking is complete, holding contents at ideal serving temperature for up to 12 hours.
