Rice cookers that include an uncoated stainless-steel inner pot
Two models meet the included uncoated-steel-pot requirement. The Cuckoo CRP-LHTAR0609F is the clearer rice-cooking choice when a known range matters: its supplied pot has a documented one-to-six-cup pressure White plan. The CMC-ZSN601F also includes a non-coated 304 steel inner pot, but its reviewed English product materials do not establish rice-menu quantities.
- The uncoated stainless-steel pot must be included in the reviewed package; a compatible accessory sold separately is not enough.

Choose by whether a documented rice limit is part of the purchase
Choose the CRP-LHTAR0609F if you want the included uncoated steel pot plus a documented one-to-six-cup ordinary pressure-White plan. The CMC-ZSN601F is the other qualifying option for the pot surface, but its exact Rice Multigrain label does not establish a grain recipe, batch range, or selected-menu pressure; verify those instructions before relying on it for a particular rice amount.
A bare-steel surface is not a chemical declaration
An uncoated stainless cooking surface answers what is supplied as the inner pot. It does not establish the separate combined PFAS/BPA-free food-contact declaration: that remains unconfirmed for the two Cuckoo options in this comparison.
Questions that change the choice
Does the CMC-ZSN601F have a documented six-quart rice capacity?
No. Six quarts describes the multicooker vessel, not a dry-rice cup amount. The exact English materials show a Rice Multigrain control but do not establish its recipe quantities or pressure mode.
Does uncoated stainless steel prove PFAS- and BPA-free food-contact areas?
No. The included cooking surface and a maker's combined food-contact declaration are separate claims. The Cuckoo material records here do not establish that declaration.
