Sunpentown Rice Cookers
The vast majority of asian rice cookers available in the States are from Japanese companies, even though nowadays they are more than likely manufactured in China. An exception to this is the Sunpentown Rice Cooker range which hails out of Taiwan.
The Sunpentown rice cooker range is quite extensive running to over a dozen models. A variety of cookers are available at most of the popular cup sizes, 3 cup, 4 cup, 6 cup and 10 cup as well as there being one model each for the larger 15 and 23 cup sizes.
All Sunpentown rice cookers, at least in North America are of the same mid-market design, namely air-tight locking lids and cool-touch type exteriors. Additionally most have non-stick pans, steamer trays and retractable cords.
You can judge the quality of a Sunpentown rice cooker by the length of its warranty on parts and materials, 3 years as compared to an industry norm of about 1 year.
The 10 cup Sunpentown SC-1810 rice cooker is one of the most popular in the range. As well as the airtight locking lid and cool touch body it features a Teflon coated non-stick pan and a retractable cord.
