does rice stick on the bottom? thanks

Nope, been using it for nearly a year now and the non-stick properties are very good if you cook the rice according to the directions.

We have not had any issues with rice sticking to the removable insert. It is truly non-stick.

I have not seen that in last few months... the trick is to put the right ratio of water per the type of the rice

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.

Yes, the bottom comes off for easy cleaning. They are a little tight when brand new .

Yes, but not the very bottom. It has a clothlike material where the legs are attached.

yes a magnet does stick to the bottom and that makes it good for induction stove

No. This is a stainless steel pan. I have not had any problems with food sticking. If foods stick when finished cooking, cool pan and fill with water. Let soak for a while or overnight. Sticky foods remove quickly. Try using no-stick spray when frying eggs. They slip out effortlessly. I, too, love the high sides.

Just put a bit of oil in the bottom of the inside (spread it around so it covers the bottom and up the sides a bit where it normally sticks). Make sure you rinse the rice a good amount of times. I bought a "rice rinser" for 6 bucks on here so that will make it easier too.

No, it didn't. And I don't think I even used parchment paper on the bottom. I just greased and flowered well. I much prefer the shiny over the "nonstick" surface. In my experience, these cook far more evenly and are less likely to stick.

Yes, so far it has. My ratio of water to rice has been 2-1. Also, I spread a little canola oil onto the bottom of the pot before adding rice and water in order to help prevent rice from sticking.

No, it doesn't. Sometimes food does stay at the very bottom where there are no holes but my eight month old usually squeezes it up or I give him a hand.

Hi...I own two of these and love them. The Calphalon 5 qt tri-ply stainless steel dutch oven heats very fast. I've used it to cook curry chicken, brown stew chicken and even rice and I've never had food stick to the bottom. Here's the trick with stainless steel pots....if cooking meats, add about a tablespoon of oil to the pot before you add the meat, allow the oil to get very hot. Because the pot has a very thick bottom, it does take about 4-5 minutes to get very hot on medium heat. It is a wonderful pot....use the same utensils that you would have used in your nonstick to protect the interior from scratches. Give it a try!

No, but I rub the bottom with a little oil, and it helps things not to stick.....I didn't want the coating that is used in non-stick for health reasons......cooking at a lower temp and stirring often also helps with the "sticking" problem.

No, not sticky. There are several kinds/brands of black rice. This one is my favorite! I love his rice!

It doesn't stick, but it lays very flat and if you cut it to fit the shelf it doesn't move unless you slide something heavy on it. I like it a lot. It's very easy to clean, too.

Good question I tested mine and a kitchen magnet did stick. Hope this helps

My rice sticks a little bit so I just have to give it a few taps into the rice cooker bowl. Although, they are not actually stuck in the holes. You may have to switch to a larger grain of rice.

I have yet to use mine, but maybe if you lined the bottom with cabbage your rice would stay moist.
