Does the rice smell spoil after one or two days in the "keep warm" mode?

I don't know because I've never tried to keep the rice warm for that long. I have a feeling that the rice begins to dry out after about 3-4 hours in the warm mode. I'm not sure how the steamed rice would smell after 1-2 days but I'd guess it does not smell as good as it does when it's freshly steamed.

The rice is still good after a day. I wouldnt eat the rice on day 2 because you can see that the rice has change texture

Rice cookers are not made to keep rice fresh for that length of time. We always make just enough so we don't have left over for more than one day.

I wouldn't say the rice smelled but I did notice after like 3-4 days the rice isn't good anymore. It turns yellow.

I have cooked I cup of rice and it came out fine- I would NOT let it sit on warm tho or you'd probably get "rice leather".

This product in a sealed bag is as good as the day it was packed .When I open a bag of rice I put it in a mason jar to keep it fresh .Rice kept this way will be good for years .So, my friend ,I wouldn't worry .

I really don't know as we put the leftover rice in the refrigerator. I know it's good for at least 3 hours, however.

I purchased two. The first one the smell left quickly. the 2nd one, the smell lingered a bit longer. I recommend airing out a good week before using. It's not as bad a smell as other brands with worse ingredients, but it is a smell. I opened windows and left sheets off for a while as it was in our guest room.

Mine had a mild odor that went away in a couple of days...yes, it does air out after a few days!!

I used some febreeze at first. The smell didn't persist beyond a couple weeks.

to be honest. after first cleaning it somewhat strong, but aired it out for bout 15-20 mins and to me no problem light smell which lasted a day or two and then all gone.

The first time I turned it on there was a smell. But in a few hours the smell went away. But it doesn't heat worth a darn.

I have had mines for 3 months. not sure how after it is on per day. as i have 2 cats and it is on cat mode and it is always clean when i walk past it and have not smelt any smells from the unit.

I agree with Jeff, George, and Sandra. My Fagor emits minimal steam, and I believe that even if I can smell what's cooking, the nutrient loss is insignificant. To answer your question, sharan, it is NOT TRUE.

No. It just cools better and longer if you take it out of the fridge, but it also feels cool at room temp. It certainly doesn't "spoil" or anything.

Hi, I opened mine and set it aside to use the next day and it was fine when I started using it. Mine came with plastic wrap so that might be part of it. Anyway it stays in my car and I don't notice any smell.

In my opinon, extended warmer should not be used more than an hour or two. My experience is the rice gets too dry if you use extended warmer for more than 2 hours or so. What I try and do is just turn it off using the reset button. Then, it stays somewhat warm, but does not dry out. Then, we use the microwave to reheat. The beauty of this machine is that when it first finishes, the rice is awesome. So, I would rather keep the moisture in by turning it off, and then reheating it, then to use the extended heating for a longer period of time and have dry rice. -Paul

If stored in a cool, dry place (i.e. pantry or cabinet) it shouldn't spoil. While this powder has a slight odor (not a good odor or bad odor, per se....just a specific smell), there should not be a "burnt" smell to it. I buy the economy size and it keeps for well over 12 months. If you're concerned about bacteria or fungus, don't risk it and toss it out. (Perhaps it somehow got moisture in the container? Perhaps you store it in a cabinet that's close to your vent-a-hood??)

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.

I don't recall mine having any kind of smell, however, I have read that you may have that smell during the first two or three weeks. If it continues after that then you may have a problem. My guess is that smell will gradually subside over a period of three weeks. Especially if it is continually running 24/7 - which mine is.
