I bought this cooker after extensively searching for a non-aluminum, non-teflon programmable rice cooker. It doesn’t seem to cook brown rice properly unless I leave it on “warming” for an extended time, but otherwise, it’s pretty cool. The only thing is that I worry about any product made in China and of Chinese “clay.” And since I don’t know how to verify that it’s lead free, it’s been in a cabinet for months and I’m back to cooking brown rice in a pressure cooker. I’d be thrilled to know of a way to verify that the pot is safe.

We’ve had ours going on 3 years, and has not let us down..and we use it at least 4 times a week. I do want to get an extra pot since it is clay and could break! But more so that we have a separate pot for non-rice items like stew etc.
But using it for both hasn’t and seem to be a problem. it also does a great job and slow braise stews etc…Easy to do classic Chinese Claypot meals..one pot convenience. I highly recommend it!
If you are worried about teflon-type coatings that most rice cookers have, then this is definitely the way to go. I also feel the clay retains heat and yields a better finished rice in the end. We’ve done everything from Thai sticky rice to Mexican rice..sushi rice is very moist but not wet. Even rice pudding.
There seemed to be a little tweeking to get the water just right…but this is a small thing. Of course it is clay so the lid gets hot..so remember be careful! Also water tends to condensate during cooking so towel off the lid and just behind the clay pot. Other than this the programming features are great and the cooker hasn’t disappointed!

I got this for my girlfriend last Christmas (2008). We use it at least once a week! We mostly cook brown rice in it but have done a few slow cooked meals including some garlic potatoes. Everything turns out perfect and it’s super easy. Just throw it in there, press “Go” and walk away! Awesome!
