Rice Cookers Gas and Electrical

A commercial rice cooker holds cooked rice at serving temperature for hours without drying it, which is the part a domestic cooker cannot do and the part a restaurant actually needs.

Capacity is quoted two ways and they cause confusion: litres refers to uncooked rice, cups to the same thing in a different unit. Cooked yield is roughly double either figure, so a 5.4L cooker produces far more than 5.4L of rice. Size against cooked servings, not the number on the box.

Gas models heat faster and suit high-volume Asian kitchens; electric models install anywhere with a power point.

Panasonic supplies the range. See the SR-GA721F 7.2 litre rice cooker and the SR-UH36 20 cup cooker.

Cooked rice held warm has food safety limits. Check your holding times rather than relying on the machine.
