Instant pots come with many functions and can substitute a slew of other kitchen appliances. Instant cookers are basically pressure cookers that give you the option to use high or low pressure. But that’s not all they can do. Depending on the model you choose, your instant pot might double as a slow-cooker, rice-porridge cooker, cake maker, yogurt maker, steamer, warmer, sterilizer, air fryer, attitude adjuster, and an electric skillet that allows you to saute your food.  When you want to get a rice cooker, the first thing you should make sure of is the cooker’s capacity. Its size should be suitable for your family’s needs. Second, a good rice cooker would have a non-stick inner pot which makes it easier to clean. Some of the most sought-after features in a rice cooker are the keep warm/delay features, digital controls and fuzzy logic, reheat cycle, texture settings to adjust for different kinds of rice, and the ability to cook other grains. You should also look for rice cookers with dishwasher-safe parts to make the cleaning process more convenient.
