I gave away my electric rice cooker after purchasing this pot. The inner stone lid is great to prevent overflowing. Because of its size and depth, I use it to fry small batches of food as well.The metal knob doesn’t burn my hand like Staub’s. I love this a lot.

I have limited space and don't tend to buy single-purpose items for the kitchen but this little thing is brilliant! It is compact and makes a lot of perfect bouncy rice every time. Very happy with this.

I'd gotten rid of my rice cooker a couple of years ago. It took up too much space for its function. I'd been cooking rice in a sauce pan and getting good results, but the sauce pan always required a soak and a scrub to get the residue out. I didn't mind, but then I found out about the LeCreuset rice cooker--indirectly when I saw an Émile Henry ad for theirs. I love EH, but know stoneware on my heavy duty gas rangetop would be in peril and get banged around too much. I get sweaty palms at the prospect of a new piece of LeCreuset because I love all my pieces so much. I read about this cute little two-lidded pot, watched some videos, and was sold. Not only does it not get sticky and require a lot of scrubbing, but the inner lid prevents boil overs. You bring the rice to a boil, put the lids on, and turn lower the flame for 15 min. Then another 10 min with the flame off, and you have a lovely pot of perfectly fluffy rice. I've also made couscous and steel cut oats with great success. I probably could live without it, but it is so cute, I just couldn't not add one to my batterie de cuisine.

Normally I mess up rice in a pot and in a rice maker. So I was expecting this to also fail, but alas perfect rice on the first try!!! I used 2 cups dry rice washed + 4 cups of water, and result is full pot of perfect rice as pictured!!

Not all induction ready pots are created equal. Some are too small, some too big, some with a tiny induction heat disk that may not spread heat evenly. This pot fits and works on all four burners of my GE Profile Induction Stovetop. It heats quickly and evenly and has that lovely cast iron heat retention that allows greater control of the cooking time and product finish. First pot of rice was perfect.
