Is it necessary to wash rice before cooking?

It's not necessary depends on how you like your rice rinsing helps with starch. I let it soak for at least 15 min then rinse.

Not sure, my wife has cooked rice the night before and let it warm until the next day and never no smell. But not sure for any amount of time over that.

After I add water to the rice, I stir it before turning it on. That seems to help with any sticking problems. I don't get scorching unless I leave it on the warming cycle too long unattended.

No- but the liner/pot that holds and cooks the rice is removable so it is not necessary to immerse the outside pot in water. You would simply wipe it clean with a damp cloth.

You wash it, and it is also recommended you cook rice in it the first time to make sure it is sealed properly, otherwise it could possibly leak.

I've never washed it in the dishwasher, just by hand. If you only cook rice in it, it's really easy to clean. I've had this for two years now and love it.

yes but you need to soak the rice grains in water for a couple of hours and then make sure you have enough water because brown rice requires a little more water

Yes, the pot gets taken out and put in the dishwasher, it is stainless steel, much easier than trying to clean the built in pot kind of rice cooker. You can also cook without the inner pot by just putting water in it and a rack in the water for steaming

Yes..the rice cooker makes the rice a bit sticky, and I like it that way. Just add a little more water then recommended, and make the rice a little moister. Hope this helps!

After dumping what rice will fall out, I add a small amt of water, swirl, and, and quickly pour into the cooker. I use filtered water for all my cooking, but I don't think the small amount of unfiltered used to get the last rice out of the washer hurts.

Oh yes. Rice washing just got better! It's all I use. Holes too tiny for rice to go through.

You can cook rice in the steamer. You need to soak the rice a few hours first. I don't have the exact recipe measurement but you probably need 3 parts water to 1 part rice. Steam for half an hour first. If it is not thoroughly cooked, steamed a little longer. As for brown rice be prepared to double the cooking time. Hope that helps.

If you wash the rice before cooking, that amount of water will be fine otherwise 2 cups of water will do. It all depends how you want the rice to be mushy or dry.

There is no need to season prior to using. Simply wash in mild detergent, rinse, and ready to cook. Clean up is easy too!

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.
