How to choose
Match capacity to your batch size
Uncooked capacity sets how much rice one batch makes. The MAGiC COM holds 10 cups uncooked and the TOSHIBA holds 5.5 cups uncooked. Compare that figure with the batch size you need, and remember that cooked rice fills more volume than the uncooked measure.
Timers and keep warm explained
A delay timer starts cooking later, so rice is ready at a set time. The TOSHIBA and the MAGiC COM have a 24-hour delay timer, and the AROMA timer sets up to 15 hours ahead. Keep warm holds cooked rice at serving temperature after cooking ends, and the MAGiC COM holds it for up to 72 hours.
Cleaning and upkeep after cooking
A nonstick inner pot wipes clean more easily than a bare metal pot, and all three picks here have nonstick or ceramic-coated pots. The TOSHIBA pot washes by hand with mild soap and a soft cloth, and its steam valve removes for cleaning. The MAGiC COM pot washes in a dishwasher and has an auto clean function. Removable parts, like a steam cap, make rinsing simpler after each batch.
