6 Cups Multi-functional Rice Cooker

The Sunpentown 6-cup multi-functional rice cooker prepares white, brown, or quick rice and also offers eight cooking functions, including porridge, steaming, slow cooking, and sauté-then-simmer. It suits home cooks who want one countertop appliance for rice and a range of everyday dishes.

Recommended For

• Households making rice in batches of up to 6 supplied measuring cups can use the RC-1206 for white rice, brown rice, or quick-cook rice, with automatic keep-warm after cooking.
• Weeknight meal planners who want rice ready around mealtime can set the delay timer in advance; the cooker also has an automatic keep-warm function.
• Cooks making rice with a steamed side can use the steam tray while rice cooks, reducing the need to prepare those foods in separate appliances.
• One-pot cooks making dishes such as pilaf, chili, or stew can use Sauté-Then-Simmer, slow cook, soup, or stew settings in addition to the rice programs.

Real-World Use Scenarios

• For a regular family meal, select white or brown rice and let the cooker handle the cycle; it switches to keep-warm mode afterward so the rice is ready when serving begins.
• When coordinating dinner, set the delay timer so rice cooking is scheduled ahead; the preset lets users plan around a meal rather than start the cycle at serving time.
• For a simple one-appliance meal, cook rice while steaming vegetables or other suitable foods in the tray; this can reduce the need to prepare each part in a separate pot.
• For breakfast or a softer grain-based meal, use the oatmeal or porridge setting; the cooker runs a dedicated cycle instead of requiring constant stovetop attention.
• For a one-pot soup or stew with sautéed ingredients, use Sauté-Then-Simmer to brown ingredients first, then add liquid; the cooker automatically changes to simmering.
