Brand new and unused, highly recommended. How it works: You add rice and water, press the start button, and go relax. The device automatically shuts off when the rice is cooked. Features: - Keep Warm: A key feature that maintains the perfect rice temperature for hours (up to 24 hours in some models) without drying out. - Pre-programmed Timer: You can set the rice and water and program the device to start cooking at a specific time, so you find your meal ready when you return home. - Easy to Clean: The inner pot usually comes with a non-stick coating to prevent food from sticking and make washing easier. Note: It is not limited to just white rice; it also includes settings for brown rice, quinoa, oats, and even cake baking or preparing soup.
