Hamilton Beach Stay or Go 20 Cup Portable Multi Cooker With Lid Latch

Product Description:

The Hamilton Beach Stay or Go 20-Cup Portable Multi Cooker is a versatile 4.5-quart countertop appliance that combines the functions of a rice cooker, slow cooker, food steamer, and sauté pan into a single digital-controlled unit with a latching lid and folding carry handle designed for taking food on the go. Cook at home, latch the lid, fold up the handle, and carry your meal to a potluck, family gathering, tailgate, or holiday dinner without transferring to a separate container. The Stay or Go design means the cooker IS the serving vessel — no extra dishes, no messy transfers, no spills in the car.

Eight cooking functions cover a comprehensive range of meals and preparations: White Rice and Brown Rice produce perfectly cooked grains with automatic timing. Hot Cereal handles oatmeal, grits, and porridge. Steam cooks vegetables, fish, and dumplings using the included steaming basket. Soup simmers broths, chowders, and stews. Sauté browns onions, garlic, celery, and meats directly in the cooking pot before switching to another function — a one-pot workflow that builds flavor without dirtying a separate skillet. Slow Cook on Low and High provides the traditional set-it-and-forget-it slow cooking for roasts, chili, pulled pork, and stews that benefit from hours of low-and-slow heat.

Keep Warm automatically activates when cooking is complete, holding your food at the ideal serving temperature until you're ready to eat. Delay Start lets you prepare meals up to 15 hours in advance — load the pot before bed, set the delay, and wake up to freshly cooked hot cereal or rice. A countdown timer tracks the remaining cook time on the digital display.

The 4.5-quart capacity is generous: 20 cups of cooked rice (10 cups uncooked), a 4-pound chicken, a 3-pound roast, or enough barbecue to make 20 sliders — serving 6 or more people from a single appliance. The PFAS-free ceramic nonstick cooking pot eliminates concerns about potentially harmful chemicals in the cooking surface while providing easy food release and effortless cleanup. The pot is removable with built-in handles for comfortable lifting and is fully dishwasher safe. The glass lid lets you monitor cooking progress without lifting and releasing heat.

Digital push-button controls on the stainless steel exterior make switching between functions intuitive and straightforward. The compact footprint fits standard kitchen countertops, and the folding carry handle stores flat when not in use. Includes a steaming basket, rice paddle, and measuring cup. Over 100 years of Hamilton Beach quality.
