I've used stainless steel rice cookers and now I've switched to ceramic.

My sister had a Cuisinart electric pressure cooker that she bought at Costco (nonstick liner), but when it died she replaced it with an Instant Pot, and now I and another sister have one too. We love it! Regarding Ketchup, I found this: http://www.nytimes.com/2015/03/24/science/with-new-nonstick-coating-the-wait-and-waste-is-over.html?_r=0<br />Not surprisingly, little mention of what this new technology is made of. Let's hope there is some disclosure and testing before it becomes a packaging material for food, but I won't be holding my breath on that.Betsy Escandonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13598482569526345086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-264294700715447531.post-9836095068304195522015-10-05T13:03:26.467-07:002015-10-05T13:03:26.467-07:00There was a talk about using Teflon inside a ketch...There was a talk about using Teflon inside a ketchup bottle so every drop can slide out. Do you know if that's been done? <br /><br />On a related note, don't use a rice cooker or pressure that has a inside pot lined Teflon. I recently switched to Instant Pot that has a Stainless Steel pot and I absolutely can't say enough about it. I wrote a post on why I switched and about how to reduce arsenic in rice and ironically, using a pressure cooker actually helps reduce arsenice level but it's important to use a stainless less and not non-stick inside pot.
