Is the rice cooker material BPA free?

Hello,We understand your concern and are willing to answer this question.Although the manufacturer did not place a BPA free label on the product,this product including the rice cooker, the rice paddle and the measuring cup,is made of polypropylene and white charcoal powder only.White charcoal is a traditional charcoal of Japan, which is said to be able to absorb chemical substances. Bits can be added to rice during cooking to remove the chlorinated tap water taste, placed in shoe-cabinets to absorb odors, and put in rooms to freshen the air.The raw material of white charcoal is oak.So according to the material list, this product should not contain BPA and is safe to use in the microwave.Have a nice day! :)

do you keep strainer on when microwaving or is it just for straining the water?

You keep it on when microwaving.

Where can I found instructions in English?

From the maker’s instruction page: Enjoy cooking fresh rice quickly and easily! • Measure out desired amount of rice. As a basic guide, one scoopful (150g) of dry white rice will make approximately two servings of cooked rice. • Put rice into microwave pot and rinse well. Use inner lid to pour out dirty water without losing any rice. • When rice is properly rinsed (the water should start to look clear when poured out), leave the rice in the pot and fill with water until rice is just covered (approx. 420ml for 2 scoopfuls, 220ml for 1 scoopful, 120ml for 1/2 scoopful), then leave to soak for approximately 20 minutes. • After the rice has soaked, make sure that the rice is levelled, then place the inner lid on (making sure the handle tab is facing upwards) and clip on the outer lid. • Microwave for the following times (in a 500W microwave): 2 scoopfuls = approx. 13 minutes 1/2 scoopful = 7-8 minutes 1 scoopful = 9-10 minutes Be sure to adjust cooking time by 10-20% for every 100W higher or lower than 500W depending on which microwave you have. • After heating, allow rice to sit for 10-15 minutes, then mix well to loosen before serving.
