Helen Chen's Asian Kitchen Porcelain 2-1/2-Quart Rice Cooker, White

A convenient and fool-proof way to cook, serve, store and even re-heat rice and other grains -- all in the same vessel! If you can boil water, you can make perfect rice every time! Simply measure rice and water and add to the 2.5 Quart Perfect Rice Cooker--a non-electric, non-reactive heat-proof high fired porcelain. Put the cooker in a stock-pot partially filled with water. Cover the stock-pot and steam 20 - 30 minutes, until done. Rice will be cooked perfectly ¿ light, fluffy and ready-to-serve right at the table. Re-heating is easy too ¿ just repeat the steaming instructions and cook until the rice is heated through. It's quick, simple and the rice stays fluffy without drying out. The porcelain rice cooker is excellent for making rice, couscous, barley, millet, quinoa, steamed soups and more. The stainless steel stand prevents hot spots and uneven cooking, while the unique handle allows for easy removal from pot and safe and convenient transport to table.

Designed for use with a stockpot, this rice cooker from Helen Chen's Asian Kitchen cookware line offers a welcome alternative to bulky electric rice cookers. Crafted from porcelain, the cooker sits inside a pot of steaming water on the stove, resulting in fluffy, light, gently steamed rice. This construction also allows for effective reheating of rice without drying it out. Fitted with a stainless steel stand, the unit is also suited to cooking up other grains, including quinoa, millet, and barley. In another welcome departure from plug-in cookers, the piece is attractive enough to come right to the table and double as a serving vessel. Designed with an arced handle, snug lid, and integrated steam vent, it holds 2-1/2 quarts and should be washed by hand for best results. --Emily Bedard
