She loved it and been using it everyday. We have only been cooking jasmine rice and it hasn’t failed us. The design also looks like a robot space helmet.

Although ceramic material itself is inert and non toxic, ceramic glaze can contain lead or cadmium. We wouldn’t know if the inner pot has the lead or cadmium until we test it. I would only buy ceramic material cookware from a reputable company who has tested their products for lead or cadmium. You can read about ceramic material at below links.

This type of cooker automatically detects how done the rice is and is able to calculate the time that will be required for the rice to be properly done. Both of these types are beneficial in their own ways.
