This induction cooker won’t toast the rice at the bottom of the pot but cooks very uniformly. This uniform cooker excels at small portions and porridges (like steel cut oats). I kinda miss having the toasty bottom of the white rice but brown rice comes out perfect easier. The induction cooker has couple silicone seals (non removable) and a vent which needs to be cleaned. The bowl has a Teflon like coating.
