Do rice stick on the bottom? anyone had that experience? thanks

Yes a little rice does sticks but this is not a problem. It comes right off if you soak the pot in a little water for a few minutes. The stainless is better than the non-stick because you wont get stuff into your food like the non-stick does after many use.

Hey man sorry it took a couple of days to respond. Mine didn't mount flat, but I grinded out the to hole to make it longer and it flattened right out. for the rice it is well worth the little work!

No, they have a non-slip coating on both top & bottom. I've experienced the design to be very stable.

yes it most certainly does, this is NOT a non-stick surface. but that's the point. non-stick cooking surfaces are actually toxic, and folks who want to eat healthy, organic, holistically, etc avoid those surfaces. After cooking with this stainless cooker, just soak the SS pot in the sink for a while, and the left over rice wipes right off with a soft sponge.

No it is a steel bottom like the exterior. We chose this model because it wasn't aluminum like other models. There is no problem with sticking because it is only water in the bottom of the pot.

You are in luck, a magnet will stick to the bottom of this pot. Good cooking.

Like everyone else says - yes it will stick to the bottom if there is not enough litter. BUT I've found that if you put a very thin layer of cat litter deodorizer power (like fresh step or arm & hammer) on the very bottom, before putting the litter in, it helps immensely with that issue.

No, a magnet does not stick to the bottom of this pan. I tried a heavy magnet and it does not adhere. Love this pot, it is a nice size and weight. Clean up is not to difficult.

Yes. I haven't had any issues with sticking. I use this pot every other day at least.

Yes, a magnet does stick to the bottom. I haven't had any of the problems other people are mentioning, but the handles do get hot and you need pot holders.

Not sure, mine hasn't hit that point yet but wondering if raw rice will work. I'm guessing clumping due to moisture & here when someone cell phone goes into water accidently they throw it into a bag of rice. We also throw rice into our saltshakers to keep it from clumping. Maybe wrapping some rice in a cheescloth or something else that breathes will help?

I couldn't tell you one way or another for sure. Generally I don't eat my rice the second it's done cooking so it's in the being heated longer. That could help with the under cooking if that's what you're doing. Sorry I can't be of more help.

I have never had anything stick to the bottom of this pan. I use it for making jelly and spaghetti sauce and I love this pan.

you have to season the pan before the first use-directions came with the pan.I;ve never had a problem w/rice sticking.

The machines do tend to "spit" somewhat out the top. I find that if I rinse the rice in the basket and leave it a little wet, then add 1/2 cup more water than recommended, the brown, black, or other specialty rice comes out moist and there is no dryness at the bottom. If you leave it on the warm setting too long before serving, then you can also get the dryness (crust) from that as well.

I don't use it yet, But I know most of the rice cook they have steam release, and some still stay on the lip. If you want the rice still good for next day, after you cook and serve. unplus and keep it open unstill cold, and then close.But not tie.

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.
