Does this keep rice warm once it's ready? If so, for how long?

I think it is about 8 hours, my daughter loves it, she goes to work and cooks dinner in it, when she gets home it is ready.

It does, and indefinitely as far as I know, as long as it's plugged it. I've kept rice sitting for a couple hours, past that I'm not sure!

Yes, no more than 12 hours according to the manual. Usually though I use the delay timer to delay when it starts so it is done closer to when I want it ready. Delay timer is up to 15 hours.

Only for keeping food hot after being cooked - put HOT water in dish to warm it up, then put cooked, hot food into it. I use it to take casseroles, veg., meat and gravy, etc. to church functions, shut-ins, people who have had surgery, etc. Very good to have. keeps food very hot for a couple hours; warm for 3-4 hours.

Please just follow their guidance by using their cup to measure the rice. If you add two cups of rice and add the water up to level 2 or a little over, you generally get the well-done rice up to level 2 or a little over. Just unplug the rice cooker quickly after the warm-light on and keep the lid covered for another 10 minutes before serving the rice.

I think the programmable features and sensors and logic that turns it to warming mode when the rice is done. The downside with the expensive machines is that the cooking is slower and longer. 90 minutes or more for brown rice, so you need to be someone who plans ahead/is organized.

Hi I normally prep my Zojirushi for my son at 7am. At 7am, the food is very very hot and by noon, the food is warm/hot.. so I would say that if properly prepped, food is warm for at least 5 hours.

Worth it? That's up to you. Will it last....had mine 8 years, it is like new!My cuckoo does a great job of keeping warm. Worth a look! This rice cooker does the rice pudding breakfast thing. And that is fabulous. I use two rice cookers. Takes a bit of space but I do rice so often so many ways that I need both. My Zojirushi is a work horse and it is good today as it was some many years ago. To answer your rice warm question....rice is nice for just so long! I like mine right out of the cooker when it is just done. Gosh, you can warm rice in a microwave with a semi sealed container! Worth it? That's up to you.

The extended warmer feature keeps the rice warm for as long as you have it in there. I have left rice in the cooker for 4-5 days before. It never burns or gets mushy, but it will dry out unless you put a couple tablespoons of water in every day.

I usually put on one cup of uncooked white rice and it is ready within 15-20 minutes. Oftentimes I do this over my lunch hour and add my rice to a can of soup. Enjoy!

I have not made rice in it, however, there is a control panel function for rice. Rice "one touch setting for cooking rice. Defaults to 12 mins. at high pressure." There is also a recipe for "Perfect Asian Rice."

I HIGHLY recommend a rice cooker for rice. I've not used this particular appliance, but own a rice cooker and it is so much easier, better, and more consistent than cooking it on the stove. Set it and forget it!

yes, it will keep it warm for a certain time but it won't be hot. Overall, we really like this lunchbox. My son used it all school year and now for summer camps.

Usually we do not leave the rice on the warm setting for over 24 hours. Our climate is very humid here so cooked rice does not last longer than 24 hours unrefrigerated.

I find it stays warm for about 10 minutes. I microwave it for 1min and 15 sec.

I don't know because I've never tried to keep the rice warm for that long. I have a feeling that the rice begins to dry out after about 3-4 hours in the warm mode. I'm not sure how the steamed rice would smell after 1-2 days but I'd guess it does not smell as good as it does when it's freshly steamed.

White rice will take less than an hour, but it depends on how long you want to keep it on warm before eating. After it's cooked, I let it sit for another 10-15 min.

I don't use it yet, But I know most of the rice cook they have steam release, and some still stay on the lip. If you want the rice still good for next day, after you cook and serve. unplus and keep it open unstill cold, and then close.But not tie.
