From breakfast to dinner, the Hamilton Beach Rice/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 bucket 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 Keep Warm once the cooking cycle is complete.
