Overview
The Elite Gourmet ERC006SS is a 6-cup (cooked) rice cooker with a stainless steel inner pot, cooking up to 3 cups of uncooked rice per batch. It has a single cook/warm switch, a tempered glass lid, and includes a measuring cup and spatula.
The 6-cup figure refers to cooked rice, not uncooked, so real batch size tops out at 3 cups dry, worth knowing before assuming it feeds a large family. It is a simple two-setting cooker with no timer or presets, appealing mainly to buyers who specifically wanted to avoid a nonstick coated pot.
- Stainless steel inner pot, cooks up to 3 cups uncooked (6 cups cooked)
- Automatic cook to keep-warm switch
- Tempered glass lid with cool-touch handles
- Includes measuring cup and serving spatula
Who it's for
Suits one or two people who want a straightforward rice cooker with a stainless steel pot instead of a nonstick coating, or anyone replacing a scratched nonstick unit. It is not built for households needing a large batch or programmable settings.
What buyers say
From Amazon customer reviews.
Reviewers consistently name the stainless steel pot as the reason they chose it over nonstick alternatives, especially after nonstick coatings scratched on previous cookers. The main adjustment buyers mention is tuning water ratios for brown rice and rinsing thoroughly, since the basic model has no presets to compensate.
