Do I Need A New Rice Cooker?

Yeah I feel really dubious about non-stick surfaces. Then again we just use one of those cheapie beige plastic microwave cookers for our rice. The plastic is probably not much better than teflon! Are there such thing as ceramic ones? I think ceramic things are quite safe.... it shouldn't stick much more than if you stove-top cook using the absorption method... *thinking out loud*

^ yeah I think I will.
I feel a bit guilty about throwing away something that still works IYKWIM.
I guess I can give it to the op shop....

oh yeah, I agree, ditch it Dach!

ETA: a lot of Op Shops don't accept electricals these days. I'd do humanity a favour and put it out for hard rubbish... LOL

The boys will love to play with it, I bet it gets lots more wear in the backyard!

You cant cook in it anymore, so thats the next best thing - or a potplant holder....or use it to hold scraps for the compost.....or cover it will pictures cut out of maga- ok now Im being stupid!
