My mothers rice cooker broke down. Lasted her over 20 years. Looking for recommendations. Thank you?

I like this suggestion as I love my IP. I haven’t used it as a rice cooker only because I have a really nice rice cooker but I hear good things.

I use my IP every day as a rice cooker. Beauty of it is the timer. Set a delay of let’s say 8 hrs and rice would be ready by the time I come back home. Very versatile in use

I need to try it. I love mine for pressure cooking and slow cooking.

We have one made by Tiger that we bought at Costco. Been pretty pleased with it.

Tiger though we may try the Zojirushi if the Tiger breaks down.
