Tatung Rice Cooker and Steamer

Unlike standard rice cookers that heat the inner pot directly, this Tatung model uses a water-bath heating method. You add water to the outer pot, which then heats the inner pot indirectly, preventing burning and allowing for more gentle, even cooking that is ideal for stews and delicate steaming.

The inner pot is made of 18-8 stainless steel, not a non-stick coating. While rice may stick slightly more than it would to a Teflon surface, the stainless steel is durable, non-reactive, and much easier to scrub clean without worrying about scratching or flaking chemicals.

Absolutely. This is a versatile multi-cooker designed for steaming, braising, and reheating. You can use the included steaming insert to cook vegetables, dumplings, or fish, or use the main pot for soups, stews, and congee.

Yes, once the cooking cycle is complete, the unit automatically switches to a keep-warm mode. It will maintain a safe temperature for your food until you are ready to serve.

The 6-cup capacity refers to the volume of uncooked rice. When cooked, this will yield approximately 12 cups of fluffy rice, which is generally sufficient for a household of 2 to 4 people.
