Product Description
A convenient and fool-proof way to cook, serve, store and even re-heat rice and other grains, all in the same vessel! If you can boil water, you can make perfect rice every time. Simply measure rice and water and add to the 8-cup Perfect Rice Cooker, a non-electric, non-reactive heat-proof high fired porcelain. Put the cooker in a stock-pot partially filled with water. Cover the stock-pot and steam 20-30 minutes, until done. Rice will be cooked perfectly light, fluffy and ready-to-serve right at the table. Re-heating is easy too just repeat the steaming instructions and cook until the rice is heated through. It's quick, simple and the rice stays fluffy without drying out. The porcelain rice cooker is excellent for making rice, couscous, barley, millet, quinoa, steamed soups and more. The stainless steel stand prevents hot spots and uneven cooking, while the unique handle allows for easy removal from pot and safe and convenient transport to table.
Amazon.com Review
Designed for use with a stockpot, this rice cooker from Helen Chen's Asian Kitchen cookware line offers a welcome alternative to bulky electric rice cookers. Crafted from porcelain, the cooker sits inside a pot of steaming water on the stove, resulting in fluffy, light, gently steamed rice. This construction also allows for effective reheating of rice without drying it out. Fitted with a stainless steel stand, the unit is also suited to cooking up other grains, including quinoa, millet, and barley. In another welcome departure from plug-in cookers, the piece is attractive enough to come right to the table and double as a serving vessel. Designed with an arced handle, snug lid, and integrated steam vent, it holds 2-1/2 quarts and should be washed by hand for best results. --Emily Bedard

 Works well, looks good December 26, 2008
William Hoke (Seattle, Washington)
My wife was quite frustrated with the results from automatic rice cookers, and she has found this one to work much better. Also, it makes serving simple - no need to move the rice to something more presentable.
The only drawback is that it is a little bit heavy, and the removable handle occasionally comes off when you don't want it to. Ours bit the dust on one such occasion, but we like it enough that I'm here to buy a replacement.
 Excellent tool May 1, 2008

This product cooks rice inside a large pot, the way my Thai teacher taught me years ago (using a metal bowl). This is much more attractive, and is very good for serving the rice (or any other grain; it's great for barley, couscous, etc.) for storing it and reheating it. Yes, it does take a fairly large pot (with lid) to provide the steam. I use my stockpot, the one I use for pasta. If you follow the directions you get perfect results every time. The only time I don't use it is when I want Japanese-style rice, with the crisp layer (Koge) on the bottom.

After I received this IMPERFECT NAMELY COOKER I discovered it is nothing but a stupid imperfect low quality usless crab. This is hevy big thing and it made me wast more money to buy a big stock pot. But even in a good stock pot, rice doesn't cooked well. I tried to find just one way to use this crab, but still I couldn't find one.
