We had a Steamer some time ago we loved and just wore it out. I bought the 5 cup Rice Steamer for my husband's Father's Day gift inhopes it would be the replacement we were looking for -- and it is! from Cooking.com I bought this rice cooker about a 1 1/2 years ago, and the nonstick coating has been peeling ever since the warranty expired. I contacted Sanyo because I thought they made replacement bowls for the cooker, but they don't. Buy a more expensive rice cooker because they usually make replacement bowls, or go with the Panasonic SR-G10G which has an aluminum pot. from Amazon.com This unit looks great when clean, but start using it and it makes a really big mess upon itself and a 2 foot radius around the exhaust hole. My old "National" had a very light aluminum lid without a hole which used to lift up to let the steam out, but the Sanyo EC-505's lid is quite heavy and the little exhaust hole isnt good enough to control the steam. The result - a very messy kitchen. from Amazon.com he is thrilled with it and has used it for cabbage, beans, and corn so far as well as rice. from Cooking.com as it turns out, there is a little stainless steel vegetable steamer basket that fits inside the rice cooker to steam vegetables. from Cooking.com i've overcooked veggies every time so far. from Cooking.com following directions for softer rice, i soaked long grain white rice for 30 minutes before cooking, and the rice was scorched too.. from Cooking.com twice i steamed green beans in the steamer making sure the exact amout of water was used and twice they became scorched. from Cooking.com i cooked brown rice - 2 of the little measuring cups it comes with, and followed directions exactly, even soaking for an hour first. from Amazon.com i cooked 2 cups of brown rice without washing it first (my preference). from Amazon.com
