Hi!

Are the rice cooker and micro cookers made out of the same material?

NoBecky,

The rice cooker and the micro-cookers are made out of different material. The rice cooker has to be able to take higher temps for longer times than the micro cookers. I am not sure what material they are both made of, but you can look at consultant's corner at the PIG (product information guide) for both and it will tell you!

No, rice cookers and microwave cookers are not typically made out of the same material. Rice cookers are usually made of stainless steel or aluminum, while microwave cookers are often made of microwave-safe plastic. However, there are some rice cookers that are specifically designed to be used in the microwave, so in those cases they may be made of similar materials. It is important to always check the manufacturer's instructions for the specific materials used in your cooker.
