This review is from: VitaClay 2-in-1 Rice N\' Slow CookersI was very excited to receive this in the mail after only two days, thanks go to Amazon. My Fiance and I had been looking for a non-cancerous rice cooker as the teflon coated one we had was chipping outrageously. I was looking for something that would not burn the rice onto the bottom as I had read the stainless steel rice cookers had the tendency to do. I found this along with a few mixed reviews and decided to call the company themselves for answers to my questions. The woman on the phone was very nice and reassured me that the cooker had no teflon (multiple copies of the same review with that accusation were all over while researching) and although it would take about 10 min longer than our old cooker AND was a slow cooker combo, I decided to go for it.It's ok. It cooks rice well, but if you leave the rice in there for more than 20 minutes on warm expect rice to burn onto the bottom. Brown Rice burns more easily. We tried cooking it with more water, adding water to it after it was cooked to resolve the burning issue, but to no avail. We now cook the rice, trun the cooker off, and then remove it from the cooker and place it in the refrigerator. This is very disappointing because the main reason we loved rice cookers in the first place was that you could leave rice in the cooker for lunch and dinner and have fresh tasting steamed rice. Now we have to microwave whatever is left over. Also, there is a warning about leaving liquid in the cooker for too long. "If liquids have been soaking in the clay pot for a long time, a leak could occure. Use a dry towel to dry the outside surface of the inner clay pot." A little iffy when trying to make a stew, right?Overall it does the job of cooking the rice adequately and is teflon/cancer free, but for all of the other advantages of having a rice cooker, i.e. leaving it on "warm" for a few hours, easy clean up, etc, it is not worth the money. I would suggest a ceramic rice cooker if you can find one at a comparable price. Good Luck!...This review is from: VitaClay 2-in-1 Rice N\' Slow CookersI received this product as a gift and I love it! Stews are effortless. Just cut up some veggies and meat, add stock and press "stew". In four hours it's perfect. This machine turns really tough inexpensive cuts of meat into tender stews and soups. The rice cooks much better than in the cheaper rice cooker I have. No "crunchy" rice at the bottom of the pot.There's something about the clay cooking which cooks the food more evenly. It is also very easy to clean. There are many other features this cooker has which I haven't explored yet (the product comes with a recipe book), but even if it just made rice and stew I'd say it was an excellent buy!...This review is from: VitaClay 2-in-1 Rice N\' Slow CookersWorks well with white or brown rice. My favorite use is for oatmeal,1/2 cup steel cut oats1/2 cup mixed grains(flax seed, quinoa, millet, barley, wheatberries, rye, lentils, split peas)2 1/4 cups water1/4 teaspoon spice, cinammon, ginger, turmeric, etccook on brown rice settingtop w/ frozen blue berries when done cooking, or raisins, or dried apricotsmix w/ 1 tablespoon extra virgin coconut oil, 1 tablespoon mollasses 2 whopping servings of flavor,texture,fiber, iron.
