The iconic Taiwanese 6-cup rice cooker & steamer — stainless steel #304 inner pot with no chemical coatings, indirect heating, and built-to-last durability.
Too many buttons, fragile electronics, and coatings that peel. The Tatung TAC-06KN is different — stainless steel everything, indirect heating, and a mechanical switch that lasts decades.
Touchscreens and circuit boards fail after a few years. Tatung's mechanical switch design has been running in Taiwanese kitchens for 50+ years — no software updates, no breakdowns.
Coatings peel and flake into your food over time. The TAC-06KN uses stainless steel #304 for the inner pot, inner lid, and steamer plate — no chemical coatings, just pure metal.
Most cookers only do rice. Tatung's indirect heating lets you steam, braise, stew, and make porridge — it replaces your rice cooker and crock pot in one compact unit.
Big 10-cup cookers waste counter space for 1-3 people. The 6-cup TAC-06KN is perfectly sized for small households — enough for a family meal without hogging your countertop.
Rice, steamed fish, braised pork, herbal soup — the TAC-06KN handles it all with indirect heating that preserves every ingredient's original flavor and nutrients.
Indirect heating gently steams rice from all sides — no burnt bottoms, no mushy spots. Just perfectly fluffy, evenly cooked rice every single time. Add water, press the switch, done.
The included steaming tray lets you steam dumplings, tamales, vegetables, or fish while rice cooks below. One cooker, two dishes, zero extra effort.
Low, even indirect heat is perfect for slow-cooking. Fish chowder, Moroccan lamb stew, Jambalaya, or Taiwanese braised pork belly — set it and let the Tatung work its magic.
Gentle indirect heating simmers rice into creamy, silky congee without scorching. Perfect for breakfast, baby food, or comfort meals when you need something warm and soothing.
A Taiwanese kitchen icon trusted across generations.
Stainless steel #304 construction throughout. Indirect heating technology from Taiwan's most iconic appliance brand — simple, reliable, and multi-functional.
Water in the outer pot generates steam that heats the inner pot evenly from all sides. This gentle method preserves taste, texture, and nutrients in every dish.
Housing, outer pot, cover, inner pot, inner lid, and steamer plate — all stainless steel. No flimsy plastic, no peeling coatings. Built to survive decades of daily use.
Dedicated keep-warm switch lets you choose whether to maintain serving temperature after cooking. Your rice stays warm without overcooking or drying out.
Includes measuring cup, spatula, inner pot lid, and steamer plate. Everything you need to start cooking right out of the box — no extra purchases required.

Get the most out of your purchase with these practical tips
Always rinse rice until water runs clear. This removes excess starch and prevents gummy texture. Use the included measuring cup for accuracy.
White rice ≠ brown rice ≠ sushi rice. Each grain type has an optimal cooking program. Using the wrong setting affects texture significantly.
Monthly, check and clean the steam vent and inner lid gasket. Buildup affects cooking performance and can cause odors.
Follow the water level lines inside the pot. They account for the rice cup measurement (180ml), not US cups (240ml).
