I have not tried the Sunpentown SC886 3 Cup Stainless Rice Cooker but I have read many positive opinions. Here is a costumer review by Mt. Redoubt.

“We have waited a long time for an 3-4 cup rice cooker that utilized a non-coated stainless inner steam pot. By chance I happened to hear of the Sunpentown 3 cup rice cooker at a reasonable price and it included a stainless steel inner cooking pot. I ordered one from Amazon and was worried that the inner pot would be coated with some type of non-stick so I e-mailed Sunpentown asking if this was the case. Within an hour I received a cordial letter informing me that all of the inner cooking components were stainless steel and not coated with any PTFE or any chemical. After receiving the cooker we enjoyed 3 cups of great tasting rice and because the pot sits in 1 cup of water the extreme temperature to the bottom of the inner pot is minimized and the rice is cooked evenly. We still soak the cooking pot for a short time but it is not necessary and cleaning is very easy. Thank you Sunpentown for developing Sunpentown SC886, exactly the right rice cooker this family wanted”. Read The Whole Review

This is the only Cooker I know about where the inner pot is made of Stainless Steel not aluminium and immersed in water. I can think of several other uses that requires immersion in water as making Sauce Hollandaise or Bearnaise. This is what the manufacturer says about the product..

Make restaurant-quality rice at home with this easy-to-use rice cooker and steamer. The Sunpentown 3 Cup Stainless Rice Cooker offers a 3-cup rice capacity--great for two to four people or when making a side dish. Simply add dry rice, measure in the water, and turn the unit on with a press of the lever. At the end of the cooking process, it will turn itself off automatically or, by turning the warm switch to on, will automatically switch over to keep-warm mode to maintain an ideal serving temperature without over-cooking. The multi-function cooker can also be used to prepare dishes such as breakfast porridge, chicken soup, beef stew, steamed vegetables, and more. At least 1 cup of water needs to be added before starting the cooking cycle, more for longer cooking times. Other highlights include cook and keep warm indicator lights, stay-cool side handles for safe transport, a generous knob for removing the lid, and 100-percent stainless-steel components, including its exterior housing, interior cooking pot, and lid. A sleek-looking addition to any modern kitchen, the Sunpentown 3 Cup Stainless Rice Cooker measures 9-3/4 by 7-8/9 by 8-8/9 inches and carries a one-year limited warranty. ....read more Average Customer Rating   4.0 out of 5 Read Reviews Write Review Average Price $134.00 Buy Today $62.97

Seeing your response to our Aroma giveaway hosted by Colleen @ My Vegan Gluten-Free Life and all new followers and likes we got (thanks!), I got the urge to share this delicious, healthy and simple rice cooker omelet recipe with you. I made one yesterday in our very basic rice cooker, but instead of asparagus (not in season here) I used golden hand picked chanterelle mushrooms (just around the corner) and minced shallot.

This is is the original Asparagus & Swiss Cheese “Omeletatta” recipe from the 5 Plus 5 recipe book by Aroma. Prep: 5 min. Total: 25 min. Serves four as a entree or side-dish.

Have on hand: Butter, Salt and pepper, to taste.

 4 thin spears fresh asparagus, cut into 1-inch pieces

6 large eggs, beaten with a dash of salt and pepper

1/2 cup shredded Swiss cheese

1 tsp. fresh thyme leaves (or your preferred herb)

1 green onion, chopped

Press the Cook button on the rice cooker and melt the butter. Add the asparagus (or your choice) and saute for about 4 minutes, stirring occasionally. Pour the eggs over the asparagus and scatter the remaining ingredients over the eggs. Close the lid and Cook for 12 to 14 minutes, or until the eggs are set. Slide the omelet onto a large serving plate, cut into large wedges and serve at once or cold.

I would not include the thyme in this recipe as it tends to dominate the tasty asparagus. I would use nothing but a pinch of salt & pepper and sprinkle some fresh parsley or basil on on top when serving. Fresh asparagus is a treat so why spoil it.

This way you can make any omelet of your choice, seafood, ham or a Spanish omelet depending on the ingredients you have at hand. Of course you can also cook other egg dishes like scrambled eggs, tortillas, poached or american fried rice in your rice cooker.

A tip when you make a omelet or bake a sponge cake. Closing the lid bakes as a owen but doesn’t brown and keeps the moisture enclosed. Full bread should be turned over and cooked again for a time depending on the amount of dough.

This is  one of The Best Buys ever!
In my home we only use a “Basic” Rice Cooker like this. We use it every day and sometimes to make other dishes than just plain rice or rice dishes. Actually you can cook almost anything in a Rice Cooker.

Take a good look at The Aroma Arc-743-1Ngr 6-Cup @ a nice price!Take the guesswork out of making rice with this rice cooker and food steamer from Aroma. It cooks up to 6 cups of moist, fluffy rice and can simultaneously steam vegetables and meats for easy, all-in-one meals. It automatically switches to warming mode when cooking is finished, keeping food warm until ready to serve. You can even cook jambalaya, soups and stews. The break-resistant tempered glass lid allows you to monitor rice without releasing steam, so your food is cooked to perfection every time. The nonstick inner pot makes cleanup a breeze.
I do recommend this buy because I realy like the size and the option to choose colors. It is a great value for the money, a rice coocker with a steamer tray for only $19.93! Orders over $25 qualify for free shipping for this item so you can ad a few small items checking out to qualify! These things are made to last. The only thing that gets worn is the inner pot, especially if it is “nonstick” but it is replaceable. Our pot nowlooks plain aluminum, brutally battered by 10 years of daily use.
