At 1.5 litres this suits one or two people, a bedsit, a hostel room or an office; cooking for three or more means the 1.8-litre or 2.8-litre models, and a cooker filled beyond its comfortable capacity boils over. Equally, a large cooker used for one portion cooks unevenly, so smaller is genuinely better if you cook small. The automatic switch to keep-warm is the core feature of any rice cooker and the reason it beats a pot — no timing, no burnt base. Use the steamer tray, since cooking vegetables above the rice saves a burner. Protect the non-stick pot: wooden or plastic spoons only, hand wash, and do not stack heavy items inside it. Rinse rice first and follow the marked water lines rather than guessing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow it compares\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAgainst the 1.8L SF2501RC and 2.8L SF1196RC, those suit larger households while this is the compact option that heats fastest and stores most easily. Compared with a pot on the hob, no watching, no burnt base and automatic keep-warm. Against a pressure cooker, simpler and safer for rice, though slower for beans. Against a microwave rice container, considerably better texture and a proper keep-warm function.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow many people does 1.5 litres serve?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOne or two.
