The Hamilton Beach rice or hot cereal cooker lets you cook a variety of foods effortlessly. Cook grains, hot cereals or even your favorite packaged rice mix without having to boil water or set a timer. All you have to do is place the ingredients in the nonstick pot, turn it on, select the setting and let everything cook to perfection. Use the included 2-in-1 basket to rinse rice or grains ahead of cooking or use it to steam everything from salmon to zucchini. The delay start lets you plan ahead and have your meal ready when you want it. The cooker automatically shifts to warm once the cooking cycle is complete. Rinsing rice before cooking helps prevent clumping and creates a fresh taste. Now it’s simple to do with the included steam basket that doubles as a rice rinser. Wake up to a warm pot of hearty oatmeal or come home after work to a simmering soup. The delay start feature lets you program cooking up to 11 hr in advance. Use the keep warm setting to ensure your dish stays at the right temperature until you’re ready to serve it. Six different settings take the guesswork out of cooking. Choose from white rice, whole grain, heat or simmer, steam cook and hot cereals. Make dinner in one cooking cycle. Steam seafood, poultry or vegetables in the steam basket while the rice cooks. Or use the heat or simmer setting to make your own soups, beans or flavored pasta mixes.
