Rating: - No Toxins!
After an exhaustive search for a rice cooker without a non-stick coating I was pretty much left with the ME81 from Miracle. On this basis alone, I would have given it 5 stars. It's very basic; when you plug it in, it goes to a warming mode (the directions state brown rice should be warmed for 15 minutes prior to cooking). When ready to cook, you simply depress the cook button. It then heats the contents to boiling and when ready, automatically switches back to the warming mode. The rice can continue warming for a couple of hours. Whenever ready to stop, simply unplug the unit and fluff the rice. ... Read More
Rating: - Stainless steel pot!! Not toxic nonstick or aluminum!
I searched and searched, and found this company directly and paid around 80 bucks for it.
Let me say that I have NO nonstick, or aluminum in my kitchen. I store my food in stainless or glass. I absolutely LOVE this thing. I lived in a tiny 8x10 dorm room at Columbia U last year, and the miracle rice cooker, and a toaster oven were the ONLY things I had to cook with.
I got very good at making one pot meals in this thing, the steamer basket is amazing and with just this one rice cooker, you can make a decent dinner.
Now, I'm back at home, and with a full kitchen, ... Read More
Rating: - A little overpriced, but nothing else like it: works great.
I didn't want to pay 80$ for a rice cooker, but frankly this is one of the FEW aluminum-teflon free rice cookers to be had. I was afraid it would be hard to clean, burn the rice, not cook the rice, etc. because of what I read on the other reviews. I generously sprayed cooking oil on the pan with a pump aerosol sprayer and after the rice was finished I let the rice cool unplugged (not on the "warm" setting). The rice came out beautifully warm with absolutely no sticking: amazing, considering that it is stainless steel. I would buy this over again and as a gift for a friend. Also, it seemed sturdier ...

Rating: - It is the stainless steel cooking surface that counts
We cook rice and grains frequently, as do many Asian-Americans. We have used plastic-bowl microwave vessels, aluminum & teflon pots, steam pressure cookers and several others over the past five plus decades. They all work, but each has a down side. For instance wait till your visitors or grand kids hear the hissing monster of a pressure cooker.
We feared aluminum toxicity, teflon ingestion, plastic leaching and plain uncertainty of what new epidemiologic research will unleash on us tomorrow. My wife and I have conveniently labeled our failing intellects as chronic "rice-in" toxicity. ... Read More
Rating: - So far, so good
In answer to another reviewer's question, the stainless steel pot is solid steel EXCEPT for the bottom part which is coated to cover an aluminum heating core/element. When I spoke to Miracle Exclusives, the rep was very honest about how the bottom is coated but the rest is solid. He explained that stainless steel doesn't conduct heat very well or evenly, so that is why the aluminum core is necessary. He assured me that the food is never in contact with the aluminum as it is covered by a thick coat of stainless steel. I appreciated the rep's honesty, and I feel I can trust this product. I am going to buy ... Read More
