What Cheap Pressure Rice Cooking Options Are There?
If you want to find a low cost pressure rice cooker then a good choice is to buy a Sanyo ECJ-PX50S. The reason for this is that it costs about half the price of other pressure rice cookers such as the Zojirushi NP-HTC10 and Sanyo ECJ-JG10W. This is because although the Sanyo ECJ-PX50S has a pressure cooking function it does not have an Induction Heating system like the other machines mentioned. In fact, it is the Induction Heating that accounts for more of the cost of a rice cooker than one with a pressure cooking feature.
To be honest, it is not just the pressure cooking function that makes the Sanyo ECJ-PX50S a good choice. It is a 5 1/2 cup rice cooker. This makes it suitable for family use. It also comes with a thick inner cooking bowl. This is necessary because the machine operates at pressure. But do not worry, there is a special locking mechanism that should prevent any accidents.
You can make a huge range of different rices in this machine. In fact it seems to be able to make more styles of rice than much more expensive Zojirushi rice cookers. On top of this, it can also be used as a slow cooker which means you can easily use it to make soups and stews. In addition it comes with a special steamer tray which allows you to make healthy steamed meats and vegetables.
As with all high quality rice cookers today, the ECJ-PX50S is very easy to clean up after use. The steam vent comes off and all you have to do with this part is give it a quick rinse. Also the inner lid comes out. This is one of the best developments in rice cooker technology in recent years as far as I am concerned. It means you can get it completely clean very easily.
