| Non-Stick Rice Cooker |
 |
|
I know about the dangers of Teflon for birds. I've been told that occurs if you burn the Teflon. When I use my Teflon George Foreman Grill Starr is not in the room and the grill is never unattended. I make certain I don't burn anything.
Recently I've become in love with brown rice and would like to get a rice cooker. Almost all of them come with non-stick coating which I assume means Teflon. The rice takes a couple of hours to cook in it, meaning unattended sometimes. I have a Crockpot and leave that on unattended but it's made of ceramic. The only rice cooker I found that's not non-stick is one made of aluminum, looks very cheap and the rice will probably stick.
Any suggestions? Please HELP! |

Hmmm do you have a kitchen that is closed of from the living room? If so you could put the window open in your kitchen?? |

The bird's cage in the daytime is kept in the dining room which is off the kitchen. I could open the kitchen window this time of year but once winter sets in a doubt it. |

I use a rice cooker which has non stick coating. I know I shouldn't use it, but like you said there's not that many out there that aren't and I eat a lot of rice!!
Anyway, my rice cooker usually only takes about half an hour to cook the rice, and Teflon is generally only a problem if they are over heated in a pan/pot that hasn't got anything in it to cook. When you're cooking rice this prevents the cooker from overheating. And when it's done cooking, it goes on the 'warm' setting which isn't hot at all, hence why the 'warm' setting. I personally feel comfortable with that as I know with a rice cooker I can never overheat it unless it is faulty. Just make sure that only turn your rice cooker on when you're actually cooking and turn it off immediately after you've served the rice. But in saying that, it's up to you what you'd want to do. |

Thanks, Cheeta. I just ordered the rice cooker. Will make sure I'm around while it's on. I thought it took longer to cook. |
