While rice is a priority in Asian cuisine, the time and labor that goes into making it shouldn't be; with a commercial rice cooker, rice comes out consistent every time. With their built-in thermostats, automatic shut-offs, and optional warming unit, cooking rice has never been so convenient. Designed to increase production and reduce waste from improperly cooked rice, Japanese, Chinese and Thai restaurants can prepare large-volumes of rice, without constant monitoring. Even better, rice cookers are extremely easy to clean and can be used to cook a wide-variety of starches, like quinoa, couscous, and oats.
