Can anyone refer me to a good rice cooker that is bird safe and does not contain teflon? I reeeeally need a rice cooker. I hate waiting for rice to boil on the stove.

Thanks!

rice can be cooked in a few hours in a plastic container. In the morning you put boiling water over rice and seal the lid. When you open it later the rice is cooked. I know tupperware had on that had a sieve on the bottom to separate the rice from excess water. Rice can also b cooked on the stove in a stainless pot with a lid that seals by bringing to the boil and turning the stove off. I hate cooking rice because I often burn it trying to cook it on the stove.

Missi, this one looks good.

Tired of toxic aluminum and teflon cooking? You should be!

Introducing the first truly Stainless Steel Grain Cooker.

Cooks brown or white rice, or any other grain, automatically.

A growing number of people are realizing the toxic effects that can occur from cooking with appliances that use not only aluminum as the contact surface, but the cheapest aluminum made. Look at any other automatic rice cooker. No, not the pretty outside. The inside ,where your food and rice are contacting a surface. Chances are they are all made with either bare aluminum or teflon. We do not want to be processing our meals, at high temperature, with these substances slowly leaching into our food.

The Miracle Stainless Steel Rice Cooker is the only stainless steel grain cooker on the market. Cooks rice, barley, quinoa, oats and other whole grains without burning. Automatically knows when the grain is done, and then switches to a stay warm mode when rice is fully cooked, keeping your grain and porridge warm for hours.

Highlights:
STAINLESS STEEL: Inner cooking bowl is beautiful 100% polished stainless steel. No more toxins!

NO TEFLON or ALUMINUM COOK SURFACE— read up on their toxicity to learn more!

The price I have seen on these is about $85.00. After reading about them, I'd like to get one. I am forever burning the birds cook and simmer foods.

PERFECT!! Thank you!!! That is expensive, but well worth it I'm sure!! I'm going to have to order one of these on pay day next Friday. Being that my boyfriend is Vietnamese, we eat a lot of rice *giggle* and I'm so sick of burning it on the bottom! I HATE instant rice! And don't get me started on that Uncle Ben's 90 second rice crap!! This'll also be handy when I'm fixing Jazz her wild rice! YAY! Again, THANK YOU!

Those are some great tips though!

I microwave rice. I put it in for 10 minutes on high and then let it sit for 10-15 minutes. Not the best but better than burning it as usual!
