If you regularly cook for four or more, or serve guests, step up to the 2.8-litre SF1196RC rather than cooking twice. Keep-warm is the function that makes any rice cooker worthwhile, holding rice at serving temperature without drying it for a reasonable period. Use the steamer tray — vegetables above the rice on the same electricity is genuinely economical. Protect the non-stick pot by using wooden or plastic spoons only and hand-washing it. Rinse the rice first and follow the marked water lines rather than guessing, and do not leave cooked rice on keep-warm for many hours.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow it compares\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAgainst the 2.8L SF1196RC, that is the family size at 1000W while this suits two to three people, heats faster and stores more easily. Compared with a pot on the hob, this needs no watching and cannot burn the base. 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\u003eIs 1.8 litres enough?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor two to three people, yes, and it heats faster and stores more easily than a bigger cooker.
