The Hamilton Beach 16-Cup Digital Rice Cooker may look like an easy model with minimal functions. But if you pay closer attention, you’ll find that the features exceed your expectations. The main selling point is an innovative versatile saute function that allows you to saute your ingredients and sauces before starting your rice cooking process. This, along with 4 more cooking settings (white rice, whole grains, steam, and warm), can be accessed with a push of a button in the exterior display panel. However, it may not be suitable to make brown rice.

If rice is one of your restaurant’s standard fare, then a large-capacity rice cooker is what you’d obviously need. As one of the best commercial rice cookers, the Hamilton Beach Commercial 90 Cup has all the functions of a high-end and extra-large capacity cooker that can supply either a small or large restaurant with fluffy rice.

It also includes an option for cooking short-grain or long-grain rice and a heat and simmer function, which is perfect for making soups, porridge, and many others. Given that rice and grain cookers are a touch-and-go appliance, the unit needs little to no surveillance as it cooks and no need to worry about burnt rice or overdone dishes making their way out of the kitchen either.

And to top it off, the unit comes with a nonstick inner pot that prevents leftover food from sticking and making cleanup a breeze.
