The Hamilton Beach 4.5qt Digital Multicooker is an excellent tool in the kitchen! The 4.5qt  nonstick pot is the perfect size for family meals, or cooking for one. It can cook up to 10 cups of uncooked rice and even includes an accurate rice measuring cup, a rice paddle and a steaming basket. I've used mine for everything from cooking rice to making homemade vegetable soup and pot roasts. The glass lid makes it easy to check on food while it's cooking without losing heat. Then when you're done, put the removable,  dishwasher safe nonstick pot into the dishwasher for easy clean-up!
