does the rice stick to the bottom of the pan? or does it burn?

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

I use the pan on my gas stovetop over the griddle burner. When I brown rice I make sure to use plenty of olive oil or chicken/pork/beef fat. I stir almost constantly, leaving the rice in one place just long enough to give it a little crunch.

I have not had a problem with rice burning in this pan. There does seem to be a couple of hot spots but as long as the pan is turned during cooking no burning occurs.

The rice mostly doesn't stick to the bottom. Just remember to stir it from time to time and use low/mid heat.

It does stick, but, I have not had it burn. My family loves that crunchy bottom rice, so I make sure not to let it burn

Can't say because I stopped using it soon after I purchased it. The enamel on the handles starting falling off. I would not recommend buying this item.

Very. I find I have to cook low and slow. Without a not stick coating it heats up so quickly food will burn. So low and slow is the way to go.

Food will stick to the pan if the heat is too high, just like any other pan. I burned some food and just put baking soda and water in the pan, let it set for awhile, and it washed right out. It washes clean very easy therefore I would say it is reasonably non stick.

Nothing stuck to my pot! As soon as it goes to warm setting, I stirred/unfolded rice from bottom to top, close lid, unplug cord and let it sit for 5 to 10 minutes.

it's a non-stick metal... it's coated, which is helpful when you leave the rice cooking too long and it gets sticky... it doesn't stick to the pan and even if it dries up, it still doesn't stick.

Mr. Behr, a magnet does NOT stick to the bottom of this pan. One of the main reasons I love this pan is for its even heat distribution, which is superior to any other I have used, such as Analon brand skillet. I can fill it from edge to edge and cooking is near perfect throughout. I only use medium heat setting, or lower. I hope this was helpful. Thank you.

After I add water to the rice, I stir it before turning it on. That seems to help with any sticking problems. I don't get scorching unless I leave it on the warming cycle too long unattended.

It's coated, but I'm not sure if it's Teflon. Rice doesn't stick to the pot.

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.

I too have prepared 1/2 cup of rice without any problems. Just remember to let it sit, unplugged, for a while after cooking otherwise a lot of rice will stick to the bottom.

In a normal oven the lower you place the pan on the rack the hotter the bottom will get and it will brown. It worked for me!

Yes. Everything I've baked on it has turned out wonderful! No burned edges or bottom. I highly recommend this pan.

The bottom does not get hot. I have mine on a hardwood floor also. We are very happy with this stove. It heats our living quickly and we have 18 foot ceilings.

Nothing I have ever cooked has stuck to the pan but I always use a dash of cooking spray. I use it only with my induction burner and I have to say I really like this pan.

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.

Yes: non-stick inner pan. (Not sure if it's PTFE - seems like it - but rice doesn't stick to it.)

yes and no, yes sure if you dont mind the pan getting burned, its not made for hot pans or stoves. its dry non treated bamboo that can and will catch fire if left unattended and on or near a hot surface. but you can set a hot pan on it if your putting a pan glove or hot pad between the board, best used in a cool area with cool litems,
