Elite Gourmet 6-Cup Electric Rice Cooker

Update2 : Please see pictures with the metallic strips and the arrows I have pointed to where it was scraped off with merely the back edge of my finger nail. No need to say more words. Bottom piece (outer case) already warped with a few boils. Returned. UPDATE: I received a replacement rice cooker, same thing happened, rusting spots after first boil. I tried to get rid of the rust with baking soda, didn't work...With Vinegar, didn't work. Finally, I tried boiling a lemon. The rust went away like magic. However, I found another issue with the stainless steel pot; there were a lot of residual powder of the stainless steel on the under side where you would use your hands to lift the pot out of the housing part. That was the only area where the pot was not polished smoothly leaving rough touch to it. Make you clean that part really well ==================== Original review: I was so happy that the VOC off gas odor was gone with only one boil until I saw the rusted inner pot. Asked for replacement. Give it another try.
