i'll make you a bet they will..... I have never tried it, because all I have to do is spray the teflon pan with olive oil. . . easy to clean

I haven't used them in a rice cooker, but a slow cooker heats for 4-10 hours and if you do not poke a hole in the bag they work very well. I've taken the food and bag out all in one for storage and put the entire deal back in the slow cooker days later to reheat.

I have never done so, but I don't think the holes would be too large. You might lose a tiny amount rice, but not much, I wouldn't think. I would put the steamer in the pot first, then when the water comes to a boil, add the rice to the steamer. I don't know how long the process will take, however. The best rice I've ever had was made in a rice cooker. It wasn't mine, so I don't have a brand recommendation. Hope this helps. Jay

I do not have a rice cooker, but would assume so. It may change the texture depending on how long they cook for.

I read all of the content that was on the box of bags that I received and did not see it say that you could or could not reuse these bags. These are to be used with the sealing machine: Food Saver which uses heat to create a seal - not a zip type bag. You have to cut the bag open to get to your food after it has been steamed...... I suppose you could try it, but your bag will get smaller with each use, and the company probably cannot give you advise on reuse because they don't want to be responsible in case of bacteria left over from the previous use....

Can't say for all sealers but they do work well with Food Saver. I've had NO problems with these bags sealing even with reuse over & over.

What I've done is filled 5 large ZipLoc's with about 5lbs each to maintain freshness, and gave a couple of the bags to my sister to help speed up consumption. We didn't notice any degradation in quality after a few months. (And you can easily re-use those ZipLoc's for the same thing or anything else since rice doesn't really make them dirty.)

Thank you for taking interest in our set of strainers. I am sorry to hear you had a miss purchase before, but have no fear All Times Finest is here! :P.. Haha but back on topic, these are very sturdy and during. When comparing our quality to the ones of Cuisinart for example, the quality of both are actually quite the same. All our sets should come in perfect condition, and shouldn't be bent or have squished mesh. However, during transport somethings can always get messed up, so if this happens, just contact me straight away and I will sort it out for you in a flash! They will work for almost any seeds or grains as long as they are not grinded/crushed. Quinoa, rice, and other grains which remain in the form how they occur in nature will work. But maybe this isn't the answer to your question. What do you mean exactly with will the strainers work for those grains? Will you be able to clean them in a proper way, than the answer is yes without a doubt. If, you mean something else, please let me know.

Haven't tried them yet... I would suspect so because it works great for brown rice ;) R

I ordered the 6-cup steamer with the 6-cup SS rice cooker. They definitely fit together properly, but I have not used the steamer for cooking yet.

No John, they are very troublesome. I think our machine just stopped working and we got rid of it. The bag fits, it didn't expand and fill up. It seriouslt may have been our cleaner and there is not a thing wrong with the bags. like I said, they fit well

Hello Bob, you can put 25 lbs of rice or beans into each bag. It seals great with an iron, don't forget the oxygen absorbers, they usually come with the purchase of the bags. If they don't you will have to buy them separately. But you definitely need them to get the air out of the bags. Also you can find the 5 gallon food grade buckets and lids at Lowes. They are great for storing the bags. Hope this helps.

Be careful of the bags you use some leach chemicals into food with cooking tempatures. I think the food saver brand bags are OK. The ones that come with the sous vid e are the ones to use. So the short answer is yes u can.

I'm not sure if you are expecting the rice grains to be separate like instant rice but that rice has been parboiled and preprocessed for that result. Rice from the cooker will be a little sticky. I use the pot for rinsing the rice since the black interior helps contrast the milky white of the starchy water. Keep rinsing the rice until the water looks clear. As for following the directions, they are correct for short and medium grain rice. Any other variety will require more water.

i looked up the seal a meal machine and if the food saver or ziploc bags from the store work on this machine then these bags should be able to work fine without a problem. Ive learned that any bag that has the channnels on one side for the air will work for most sealers

I use these bags 5 or 6 times before recycling them. It's a little more difficult to seal the bag after the first use, but it will reseal. I've only steamed veggies and potatoes in them. I wash them in hot water and some dish soap after each use. I am going to try steaming some cod, salmon or albacore as well. I don't see why they can't be reused after steaming fish or seafood. Just rinse and wash out right after you take the food out of the bag.

Yes, it works great. I have used both sizes. I had a 10# bag of rice, so I sealed it in pint jars, so far they are still sealed.

I've got two of these I use. They work great. They can withstand high temperatures on the stove. That is not the issue. You must always remember to turn the stove on low and then slowly bring it up to desired temperature. Can't place these on a very hot burner. Will damage. Must start low and slow and then bring up. If you do that - they are great cooking vessels.
