Weekly Giveaway #3
Yesterday I gave you a choice of giveaway items to vote for on my Facebook Page. It was a close one this time! I will announce the giveaway winner on Friday. This is the third weekly giveaway – only one more next week.
So here we go…this week’s reader’s choice giveaway is a Stainless Steel Rice Cooker! Confession: I have never mastered the art of cooking rice in a pot on my stove and I would be lost without a rice cooker. I don’t feel badly about this – according to the book Consider the Fork: A History of How we Cook and Eat, rice cookers removed all the work and worry from cooking rice. It further states that rice cookers are the most important electrical gadget in the Japanese home (yes home!). The first automated rice cooker was launched in 1956 and in less than 10 years the rate of rice cooker ownership in Japan was 88%! Even in tiny rural kitchens in China, the rice cooker may be the only stove. This is one of my most used and absolute essential cooking tools. I love that it has no aluminum or teflon and it is the best for making rice ahead of time and keeping it warm which is very important in my kitchen!
Finally, before you enter I am going to offer you a tip.
Are you still cooking your rice in water?!
As I have shared with you before in my Real Food Survival Guide for Working Moms post – your family will enjoy rice more (white or brown) if you cook it in nourishing bone broth (where to buy broth) and coconut milk. They will also get those great minerals and gelatin from the bone broth this way! I think it is pretty important to get bone broth into my daughter on a regular basis and this is a great way to do it. Here is my recipe for basic brown rice (where to buy rice)– I promise if you cook it this way you will never look back to simply using water. Pin the recipe for later use!
Alright – time to enter! FYI: This is not a sponsored giveaway — I am paying for the prize myself, and will have it mailed to the lucky winner.

I would love to win. I suck at making rice, but love it. Having this would come in handy and perhaps then I would make rice more for dinner. Thanks for this chance 😛
I would love to win one of these! My steamer pot is on its last legs.
I would love to have a stainless steel rice cooker because the one that i currently use has teflon. So tired of it flaking off into my food 🙁
We eat lots of rice and I am always fighting for pots for dinner making and it would be awesome to have this to free my large pot!
Having a rice cooker makes it so easy to always have rice on hand as a side!
This would be so amazing because the ONLY teflon holdout in my kitchen is my rice cooker and I don’t feel good about it. Thank you so, so much for this opportunity!
I’ve never had one of these and would love to try it.
Our Family loves Rice… but it comes out different every time. Would love something I could count on to be perfect rice.. and with NO teflon!!!
This would be simply awesome to have. I love cooking for healthy meals for my family and a stainless steel rice cooker would help to make this possible.Fingers crossed! 🙂
I would love to make cooking for my family of 6 easier and this rice cooker would definitely help achieve that goal!
I would love to win this rice cooker, we enjoy rice regularly, and I love that it can be used to steam foods as well!! Thank you for sponsoring this giveaway!
Would love to win this for our gluten free kitchen! We go through tons of rice.
I love that it is stainless steel and my family eats a lot of rice and this would help during mealtime:)
So I have to admit, that I too, have never mastered to art of making rice and I would LOVE to have this rice cooker! Maybe then my rice would stop being so heavy and sticking together!
I need a rice cooker, I completly suck at making rice on the stove! No matter what I do, it does not come out right! Please pick me!
My children love rice, but I also find it difficult to make. I’m guilty of buying frozen rice from Trader Joe’s as I can’t seem to make it myself. A rice cooker would definitely solve that problem! 🙂
I can make some really complicated dishes, but I have a problem cooking rice well consistently! I have been looking at getting a cooker but the different choices are confusing. So I would love to win one that someone else selected for me! 🙂
This would be such a convenient time saver!
My rice cooker is about to die …it’s (I think 20 years old) It does deserve a decent burial… Which might be happening soon …Thanks a lot “MO”
i have a small one, it’s the most used item so far in the kitchen
I too, have yet to master cooking rice on stove top. Can’t seem to get the rice/water ratio just right and would love to have a rice cooker!
I used to make rice on the stove perfectly every time–before I had kids! Now I need something that will turn itself off so I can stop burning rice!
Finally a stainless steel one! I’ve been wanting one that does NOT use non-stick stuff that is toxic. This is the perfect alternative.
I’m not able to use the rafflecopter…its asking me to sign into FB and I don’t have FB, is there another way to sign in that I’m overlooking?
Thanks
I’m not a big rice eater, but my husband can’t get enough. We had a rice cooker, but I accidentally left it too close to the stove, and the on switch melted to the plastic around it. Oops!
Been searching for one one Maui. I use my (aluminium) rice cooker for everything: cous cous, quinoa, rice, oatmeal, barley . . .
This looks great!
This would help in making just right rice.
My family and I eat rice several times a week. My husband’s favorite is eggs and rice. He would eat it every day if he could. Our rice cooker is on its last legs. It is 20 yrs old!
I have never had a rice cooker. Always had to make it on stove top. (And we only have teflon right now…working on that.) When I make rice, someone ALWAYS opens the top out of curiousity. This would help a ton.
My rice has been coming out horrible and started looking at the prices for one. Sadly can’t afford one so would love to win one !
We make rice several times a week. My hubs hates to make it and never remembers how. This would make it so much easier! Karen
I would love to win this rice cooker b/c Im still in the process of trying to stock my ‘whole foods kitchen’ and this is at the top of my list of things I want to get. In fact, I asked for a rice cooker for Christmas however the one I was given wasnt stainless steel so I had to take it back and I got something else that was comparably priced instead. And my birthday is this week so winning this this would make a great birthday present. 🙂
We love rice all the time and would love to win this stainless steel rice cooker.
I would love to win this rice cooker. Mine never turns out, and this would take all the guesswork out of it. Thanks for the giveaway!
Would love to win this. We eat a lot of rice.
I would love a s/s rice cooker to use for large gatherings!
Would love to win this for my son who is getting married in a few months and they are setting up a new gluten free household.
I have been using a teflon coated aluminum rice cooker because my husband insists it tastes better than my stovetop preparation, but I cringe every time I use it. I know it poisons the food and hate to feed it to my family. I just recently discovered that there is such a thing as a stainless steel rice cooker and am thrilled about the discovery!
I would love to have this rice cooker for making yummy brown rice!
I’ve always wanted a stainless steel rice cooker. I got rid of my old one because it wasn’t stainless steel.
I’ve never had a rice cooker but this is stainless steel rather than aluminum so would love to cook with that. Thanks for the giveaway! 🙂
Having a rice cooker would be a life saver. i never can seem to get my rice just right.
The rice cooker would allow me to taste perfectly cooked rice! Thanks for the offer.
My rice cooker recently died, this is perfect timing! My family would really appreciate rice done right again. 😉
I have always wanted a rice cooker but avoided due to teflon and aluminum. My rice turns out terribly on the stove about half the time. I don’t know how I can mess up something so simple!
My poor $10 rice cooker finally bit it this year – after 7 long years. Now I know better though – it was aluminum 🙁 I am Not good at stove-top rice cooking yet….. I’d love a Real rice cooker!
This would be great! I’d love to try and make quinoa and other grains in it as well. Thanks for the giveaway!
Always love kitchen gadgets
this would come in real handy here!
I have never owned a rice cooker, but have always wanted one. This looks like a really nice one!
My two kids eat like Hobbits– I need all the help I can get to make them nourishing meals!
My rice cooker is at least 10 years old! It would be amazing to have a new one!
My rice cooker died. I’ve barely made rice since.
I would love to own this rice cooker. I never cook rice, it is my kryptonite! I just cant seem to get it right. A rice cooker would be my dream come true!
I was just telling my husband the other day that I’d really like to put a little money aside for a rice cooker! How timely!
I would love help with getting perfect rice…though I do use stock all the time now!
I would love this so I can get rid of my yucky teflon coated one!
I need the cooker to banish gummy rice
Saw last night that my coated rice cooker is scratched & therefore adding more toxins to my rice (ugh!). Time to move on up to stainless!
Would love to ad this to my kitchen. A wonderful time saver! Thanks for the opportunity!
This giveaway is over. Go to the next one!
