Rice spoils easily at warm temps; maybe companies don’t want the liability of a rice warmer like you describe because all it would take is for someone to give the rice a stir with a tainted spoon and then leave it in the warmer for someone to get sick.

My experience is that I used to see the warmer style all the time in certain communities.

The social situation right now keeps me from seeing which brand right now.

Bummer.

But I don't think liability is a big concern to that particular population.
