I have a super cheapo target one that I bought 5 years ago. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-use-a-ricecooker-how-long-do-you-keep-your-rice-on-warm#post-565009 Wed, 13 Feb 2013 20:14:00 +0000 keiki_mama 565009@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I usually unplug it and let it cool after everyone has gotten their rice for the night. I have tried leaving it on for 24 hours though and it still tasted great.

We use it like a pot, once it's cooked we pack up the leftovers and put them in the fridge. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-use-a-ricecooker-how-long-do-you-keep-your-rice-on-warm#post-564535 Wed, 13 Feb 2013 18:02:25 +0000 duckduckkristen 564535@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'll turn it on about an hour before DH gets home, then we put the leftover rice in the fridge and he takes it to work. So it ends up being on for about two hours. My ILs leave theirs on for a day or two. My husband told me that in college his would be on for a few days... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-use-a-ricecooker-how-long-do-you-keep-your-rice-on-warm#post-564502 Wed, 13 Feb 2013 17:48:58 +0000 sunny 564502@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I turn it off after dinner and put the rice away in the fridge. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-use-a-ricecooker-how-long-do-you-keep-your-rice-on-warm#post-564501 Wed, 13 Feb 2013 17:48:27 +0000 yin 564501@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I usually cook rice for dinner and will leave it on warm for a few hours. I'll then let it cool off before I put it in the fridge.

"warm" does not get used in our house often! Which I find so strange because he has a Filipino friend who keeps rice on ALL day long, every day. There is always rice to eat! haha so I'm not sure why he turns it off right away at our house! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-use-a-ricecooker-how-long-do-you-keep-your-rice-on-warm#post-564486 Wed, 13 Feb 2013 17:39:18 +0000 Sweet T 564486@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I usually put in the fridge when we clean up after dinner. Ours will burn (even on warm) if we leave it for too long and we don't really have the counter space to leave it out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-use-a-ricecooker-how-long-do-you-keep-your-rice-on-warm#post-564483 Wed, 13 Feb 2013 17:36:47 +0000 sslm 564483@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wow, I only ever leave it for maybe an hour? I didn't know you could leave it on that long! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-use-a-ricecooker-how-long-do-you-keep-your-rice-on-warm#post-564474 Wed, 13 Feb 2013 17:31:24 +0000 autumnlove 564474@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>About a day! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-use-a-ricecooker-how-long-do-you-keep-your-rice-on-warm#post-564472 Wed, 13 Feb 2013 17:29:57 +0000 cranberryapple 564472@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I sometimes leave it on for up to two days. How long do you keep yours on warm, or do you scoop up the rice and put it in the fridge/freezer? </p>
