Does the top have its own controls? Could you stream rice on top?

No the top does not have controls. It's more to just keep something warm/hot. You might be able to steam some Uncle Ben's Ready Rice though. I found the unit to be a good buy.

This is the low down. The top burner is heated by the units inside the oven. Meaning the broiler thingies that heat food from the top also heat the top steamer tray from the bottom. It does not get all that hot and also, since it is kind in a way, open, it generates a lot of heat so heats up the room younare in. I do not think it would steam rice adequately. I would rate this unit about 65 out of 100.

We have the older model of this oven, which doesn't look all that different. We used the top area to keep small plates warm while cooking food in the oven, which is about all it's good for. I'd still buy it again. We've had our old one for at least 5 years, and we used it more than we used our large convection oven (which really heats up the house). We're only replacing it because the top elements have finally died, so it only heats from the bottom.

No, the top doesn't have its own controls. I don't think you could steam rice on it. Maybe broccoli, squash or green beans, something like that. The tray isn't very deep. I have only used it once.

Yes it does have a top, but a sneaky cat could probably knock it off. In my opinion this tank is only good enough for 1 betta, that's it. Most fish swim horizontally and this tank is taller than it is wide. You could get away with maybe 2 guppies but even then they wouldn't have a healthy swimming space. Glow fish would not do well in this tank, it's too small. Also, they would not glow because the light is not a black light fixture. The smallest tank I would recommend for glow fish is 5 gallons, and 3 fish max inside it.

Yes and it will also automatically keep your rice warm if you set it up that way. We really like ours.

I routinely do 1 cup of rice but it looks like it's programmed to do as little as half a cup. It absolutely doesn't boil or bubble to the top because the lid snaps shut. The only moisture that escapes is steam from the back. When you open it a bit of steam comes out and a little moisture trickles around a kind of gutter under the lid. I loooove this appliance. I've never been able to cook rice before and now I cook it all the time. I need to experiment with other grains, soon.

No, you will have to season the top yourself. Its a great unit in my opinion.

You probably can, but you actually won't be steaming the rice as the water and rice needs to boil together first. Use just the base and lid, but unless you're cooking a lot of rice, the base might be too wide (unless you have the personal size steamer set). I use a rice cooker (so easy) and they come in different sizes.

Yes. There are two steaming sections and the lid which goes on top. I used mine to steam broccoli but I am planning to get ambitious and make dumplings.

Sorry, it does not have that. All it has is a input, on & off, Amazon, Netflix, and M - Go buttons on top.

Yes, but I adjust by placing towel over cooker.No problem with 2 cups of rice.

No it does not, and it seems to be pretty common these days for all top end rice cookers to not include that feature.

Yes you can, just make sure that you stir the rice well as soon as you see the water gone otherwise the rice will stick to the bottom and you will end up with very little or hardly any rice.

There aren't any settings on this unit, either on or off. It automatically turns itself off when done. It has a weight sensor under the container. The top has gaps for steam release. The container loses weight as it steams off water which trips the sensor and turns it off when cooking is complete. It has a limit of 2 cups of rice. This is one appliance I will always have, makes rice cooking so simple.

The top unit easily connects/disconnects from the bottom. The top would be better with smaller and lighter items so as to not tip the unit backwards. The top unit simply gives you the ability to view more items at the same time. Hope that helps.

The toilet top rises via a motion sensor when you enter the bathroom. Therefore the connection between it and the controller is specific and you likely (I have not tried it) cannot change the toilet top.Why would you even want to? This unit, while expensive, is incredible. For anyone wanting a guilty pleasure I would recommend.

I've done this as I am cooking the rice, use streamer basket over the rice, can also do meat this way for a whole meal. Judge from times listed in book...
