What to know before buying
Listing details to confirm
Listing details are inconsistent about the included utensils: the components list names a ladle and scoop, while the feature text says spatula and soup ladle. Confirm which accessories come with the selected listing. Capacity is given as 3 cups, but the title specifies uncooked rice while the details field does not clarify the measurement basis. The listing also describes a non-stick inner pot while listing stainless steel as the material, so check the pot construction if that distinction matters.
