Vision Rice Cooker 1.8 L 40-06 SS Blue Double Pot

VISION Rice Cooker 1.8 L 40-06 SS Blue Double Pot suits a small family, a bachelor mess or an office pantry, where 1.8 litres is about the right daily batch. Inside the blue full stainless steel body sit two inner pots: one stainless steel and one aluminium pot finished with a 1.2 mm actual non-stick coating.

Power draw is modest at 700 watts, which keeps running cost down for a cooker of this size. Vision states that even at 700 watts a batch of rice is normally ready in 15–20 minutes. As a 700 Watt Rice Cooker it also puts less strain on a shared household line than the larger models in the range.

The heating element carries an anti-dirty coating so starch spills wipe away instead of baking on, and the base board is finished in silver. A magnetic switch and built-in thermostat keep heat at a precise and uniform level and drop this Vision 1.8 Litre Rice Cooker into keep-warm once the rice is done; the manufacturer additionally claims an antibacterial action while in warm mode.

The two-hole (6–6.5 mm) glass lid with plastic handle lets you check progress without lifting it, and the Al/stainless steel steamer with plastic handle adds vegetables, eggs or pitha to what the cooker can handle. This Vision 40-06 unit — the Vision Blue Rice Cooker of the 1.8 litre line — runs on 220V, 50Hz and carries a 1 year brand warranty.

Important Usage Instructions

• Dry the outside of the inner pot before placing it in the cooker, and never switch on without a pot inside.
• Measure rice and water together; for a 1.8 litre pot keep the total well below the rim so it does not boil over.
• Close the glass lid before pressing cook and let the 15–20 minute cycle finish instead of lifting the lid repeatedly.
• Serve and stir with a wooden or plastic spoon to protect the 1.2 mm non-stick coating.
• Unplug and cool the cooker before washing; clean the pots separately and only wipe the heating plate and body with a damp cloth.
