Hamilton Beach 2-14 Cup Capacity (Cooked) Rice/Hot Cereal Cooker (37548MN) review

The Hamilton Beach 37548MN is the best value pick for larger households. For $66.99 it makes 2 to 14 cups of cooked rice, the largest range on this list, and it has 6 programmed settings: White Rice, Quick Rice, Whole Grain, Heat/Simmer, Steam Cook and Hot Cereals. The included 2-in-1 basket rinses rice before cooking and doubles as a steam basket, so fish or vegetables can steam above the rice. Hamilton Beach says the removable pot has a PFAS-free ceramic nonstick coating, which matters to buyers avoiding traditional nonstick. Delay Start programs cooking up to 11 hours ahead and the cooker shifts to Keep Warm when done. Heat/Simmer also handles soups, beans and packaged pasta mixes. It does not list fuzzy logic, and its rice menus are basic next to the Zojirushi and Cuckoo models, so rice texture depends more on measuring water correctly. We compared documented features and published prices and did not run cooking tests.
