Review: No PFAS, great size! - This rice cooker is exactly what I hoped it would be. There are no bells or whistles, no overly complicated (and hard to clean) design elements. It is simply a stainless pot, press-marked with water level recommendations on one side, and a glass lid, both of which are dishwasher safe. The whole thing goes from the electric heating part to a cooling rack, and from there into the refrigerator, and eventually into the dishwasher. Two key reasons for using stainless: 1) No PFAS or other forever chemicals, which come with most of the "nonstick" coated rice cookers out there. No plastic touching the food as it heats up, to leech anything into your meal. The metal will last far longer than a coating, too, so this cooker ought to have a much longer 'lifespan' than the 'nonstick' types out there. My previous rice cooker, an expensive Tiger brand nonstick version, started showing wear and scratches on the lining after just 2 years of use--and that was in spite of hand-washing and carefully using only the plastic rice paddle provided with the cooker. Once the nonstick coating begins to scratch, you know that you're ingesting PFAS. This stainless rice cooker will never have that problem. 2) So much more durable. You can use other implements than the plastic paddle, it can go in the dishwasher, you can really scrub the pot if you've cooked something other than rice (like oat porridge) and it stuck on... I can't stress enough how much I like that the pot and lid both lift out of the electric element, and are fully washable. I loathe, absolutely despise, the type of rice cooker that has a hinged lid incorporated into the heating part of the frame, which cannot be easily removed and cleaned. Those lids become disgusting after a few years, even if you're careful to wipe them and leave them open to dry. Also, the pots in those versions do not come with their own lids, for moving them into the fridge for leftovers; what a poor design! I'm never buying a hinged rice cooker again. This stainless rice cooker comes with a lid that is both easy to clean, and moves with it into the fridge. Simpler, cleaner, and just better. There's only one thing I don't necessarily love about this rice cooker: the amount of rice measured in the provided cup (a standard "rice measuring cup" is about 3/4 cup in regular measurements) doesn't fully correspond to the water lines provided in the pot. This may have to do with the types of rice I prefer: basmati, jasmine, and regular 'long grain' white rice. They all seem to need a bit more water than the indicated line for the number of cups. If I add water up to the next line (ex: water line 8 for 7 rice measuring cups of rice), it cooks up nicely; neither too hard nor too squishy, no excess water. However, if I do this with 10 measuring cups, the rice inflates right out of the pot and lifts the lid way off the rim! In reality, this pot can only fit 8 rice measuring cups of a long grain white rice. That's still a lot of rice, completely filling the pot up to the lid. Maybe with a less fluffy type of rice, their measurements would be accurate. Still my favorite rice cooker (out of many cookers, over the years), after two months of constant use. Highly recommend.
Review: Highly recommended for daily use. - Very good quality rice cooker. The stainless steel inner-pot is durable and easy to clean. Cooks rice evenly and the keep warm function works perfectly. I bought it from desertcart. So far very satisfied.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Nonstick or not?**
A: It does not have non-stick coating.  It is easy to clean.  Just soak leftover rice in pot for a few minutes and it would easily come off.

**Q: Is there a steamer tray available to use on this cooker? If not, what’s the diameter for the 20 cup inner pot? I’ll see whether I can find one.**
A: The inner diameter of the inner-pot itself is about 8.5" or 1/32" bigger maybe and the inner diameter 
of the expanded flange (where your steamer pot would slide into) is just about 9" plus maybe 1/32".
Thus if your steamer pot you find and buy (which often would 
have a corresponding "stepped shape" at their bottom where they rest or fit 
into the "flange" like expansion at the top perimeter of the innerpot of the rice cooker)
has that stepped smaller bottom perimeter of 8" and the regular perimeter of the bottom
of it is exactly 9", then it would fit.   sorry if that's too many words.
MAYBE SIMPLER WORDS: the bottom-most tapered diameter of the hoped-for steamer 
pot would be 8 1/2" and the regular diameter of the hoped-for steamer tray is 9"
right before it has the stepped-taper, then it would work.

since i'm hopelessly long winded, and for other reasons, contacting the manufacter might be good,
or maybe they'll also answer your question.

p.s. graded on a curve, since all such appliances are imperfect, i reallllllly like mine, also the 20 cup unit,
after having it for a couple months.  i've had much more expensive stainless steel inner pot units for the last
decade or so (Miracle) and this Maxi-Matic ERC-2020 is doing great so far.      People talk of the pots "spitting" out
boiling rice water in stages of the cooking and that also happens in the more expensive and also excellent to my 
liking Miracle line of stainless steel innerpot models.   Not sure if cooking smaller batches of rice, yet in the largest
available cooker, might give you less spattering. I've wondered if a good rheostat for lowering the temperature a bit
might work.

**Q: Inner pot is made of 304 stainless steel 100% or is it steel plated aluminum?**
A: I believe it is steel plated aluminum.  
Personally I do not like this item.  Sorry that I bought it!

**Q: Why does it say 10 cup when in the video it says 5 cup max on the inside of the pot?**
A: I believe it means that the max is 5 cups raw rice. When it's done, it should equal 10 cups of cooked rice.
