Designed for use with a stockpot, this rice cooker from Helen Chen's Asian Kitchen cookware line offers a welcome alternative to bulky electric rice cookers. Crafted from porcelain, the cooker sits inside a pot of steaming water on the stove, resulting in fluffy, light, gently steamed rice. This construction also allows for effective reheating of rice without drying it out. Fitted with a stainless steel stand, the unit is also suited to cooking up other grains, including quinoa, millet, and barley. In another welcome departure from plug-in cookers, the piece is attractive enough to come right to the table and double as a serving vessel. Designed with an arced handle, snug lid, and integrated steam vent, it holds 2-1/2 quarts and should be washed by hand for best results. --Emily BedardPrice: $26.99
