What is inside it? Is it washable? (Rice gives off steam inside a sock, but you can't wash the sock.)

I don't know what's inside, but you can only clean the outside with a cloth and some soap. You can't put the laundry.

It is washable. I did mine by hand. The color may get dingy but it functions just as well.

The package that Thermal Dry Eye mask indicates it is Hyrdro-Pearls inside that collect moisture from the surroundings. You can wash the mask in mild soap, I used Johnson Baby Shampoo, then let it air dry. But be aware the first time you heat in microwave after washing it will be much hotter the first time after washing, I believe it is because the hydro-pearls collected more moisture than after the washing, but in second heating/use the 20 seconds is good. Package the mask came in gives information on cleaning the mask also.

I would guess that it is filled with some type of styrofoam beads. I have washed mine successfully. I use Woolite and cold water to be on the safe side and do a vinegar rinse to remove all traces of the detergent and then rinse in clear water again. For the vinegar rinse I add about two or three tablespoons of plain white vinegar to about two to three quarts of cold water. I just guess. Hang and let air dry for 24 hours. I always order a few spares so I have a clean one while the other one dries.

Yes, there is rice inside it. And yes, you can hand wash it. I just run it under the faucet and use a little dish detergent on the inside part of the mask that touches your eyes. I then place it on a towel to dry. It takes a day or so to dry so I have a spare one. Make sure it's completely dry before you use it because it heats up too much if it's damp.

Hi, I do make white, basmati and brown rice. My basmati rice is coming out as expected (not soggy at all) - I've been cooking it exactly like the measurement instructions for white rice. Are you remembering to rinse out the rice well first? Are you cooking it straight away or soaking first? I think cooking straight away would be best. As a last resort perhaps try switching brands of basmati rice... I am loving mine (comes from Costco).

I'm not sure. We always wash it by hand. As others have said, if you cook rice, its very easy to wash.

Not real well. Is soft boils ok in the shell but cup provided stills leaves some uncooked but I've found it m akes a very good rice and small amount of vegatable steamer. Maybe if you punched some small holes in cup tolet it drain it would do better? But small enopuhg so egg won't leak through?

It's basically a very snug, toeless sock... can be machine washed and dried. I wash in cold and dry in low heat. Also, I wear it over other socks so, I can wash it less often.

The rice that I purchased was black all through. I even washed it by rubbing it together in water. Although the water became dark, the rice was black when cooked.

No, it is not washable. Also be very careful with the clay lid, I broke the lid and how my rice cooker is useless. Lid replacements are also very expensive (with shipping its half the cost of a new cooker)

I didn't cook rice in it as far, but in the grocery I saw that some of the rice possible to cook particular in the steam cooker. Technically you should be able to do so.

You will not only deform the bowl, but you will make your rice soggy. Never wash something that is already cooked. The point of the bowl is to pre wash uncooked rice to remove any flour or dirt particles left over from the processing plant.

No, it's a rice cooker and it keeps the rice after it's done cooking. It doesn't steam at all.

The inside part of the sock is a mixture of nylon, polyester and spandex. It's covered in a gel coating. These socks don't breathe, if that's your concern. They are only meant to be worn for a few hours here and there, and not during athletic activity.

Inside the lid or cover is a disk of stainless steel. The steam won't heat the plastic because of this disk. from my experience, cleaning the rice cooker's container, disk and outside compartment regularly allows the cooker to perform better.

There is a glaze of sorts, but it's still porous. You need to finish or season the interiour by boiling some rice porridge in it for at least an hour. The starches from the rice will bond with the pores and seal the inside of the pot. After you do that you just rinse and wipe out the excess starch then let it completely dry. Then it will be ready for cooking.

The lid is fixed. I've had mine for over 4 years and removing the water catcher in the back and the steam plug inside the lid lets the unit be cleaned good enough. I wipe the inside of the lid after every use. I let the lid stay open over night and store it with the water catcher and steam plug off the unit. My rice cooker gets used 5-6 times a week (asian family) and we have never had a problem with it working correctly or a bad odor. Hope this helps...

The bowl that you put the rice into is stainless steel. The outside white shell is metal. Not that happy with the performance, as it does not cut out early enough, and therefore the rice gets to hot and dry and sticks hard to the bowl. I have to keep an eye out to switch it off, so now it really is no different than using a pot on the stove. I don't know what brand or type would work better. If you ever find one, let me know.

When I have finished with the rice in the pot, I unplug the cooker and let it cool before removing the inner pot and lid and washing them with soap and water and drying both thoroughly before putting them back into the cooker. I also wash and dry the little container on the outside of the cooker that captures steam. Since I always wash the parts of my cooker, I have had no problem with mold.
