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?

About a day!

Wow, I only ever leave it for maybe an hour? I didn't know you could leave it on that long!
-
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.

My husband always turns it off right away. "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!

I've been known to leave it on warm for days.

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. My in-laws will keep it on warm for a few days.

I turn it off after dinner and put the rice away in the fridge.

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...

I had no idea this was an option. We use it like a pot, once it's cooked we pack up the leftovers and put them in the fridge.

DH always turns it off right away. I think he likes it to cool down then we put it in the fridge after dinner.
-
A couple of hours.

@prettylizy: Same here.

Hardly ever. Mine will dry out and get crunchy on the bottom. I unplug it, let it cool, then put it in the fridge
Leaving it on warm seems like it'd breed bacteria
-
I've left mine for almost 2 days before tossing it!
-
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. Love my rice cooker!
-
I think maybe the quality of rice cooker plays a role too.... I have a super cheapo target one that I bought 5 years ago.
-
i leave it on "keep warm" until i'm done eating dinner. then unplug the cooker and wait for the rice to cool. then the pot of rice goes into the fridge.

For a few hours at most.
