Our Place, known for its aesthetically pleasing, multifunctional countertop appliances, added a Rice Cooker to its product portfolio—and it was designed with chef and expert Kenji López-Alt. Created as "the grains cooker he always wanted, but couldn’t find," Our Place's Rice Cooker boasts six unique modes (dedicated for white rice, brown rice, oatmeal and more,) a non-toxic inner cooking pot and dual-sensor fuzzy logic that continuously reads steam and heat and adjusts for fluffy, never-mushy results.
Unlike a standard cooker, this one provides multiple modes, total confidence when it comes to cooking without forever chemicals, plus a 24-hour delay timer.
Perfectly sized for individuals, couples and small families, the six-cup Rice Cooker launched in four core colorways, plus a fun and limited-edition Pistachio shade.
