Is there such a thing as a rice cooker without a non-stick coating?

I really have trouble with rice in a pot...sometimes it's great, and other times yuck, no matter how carefully I measure!  Would love to get a rice cooker as I`ve heard it`s easier to get it right.  I got rid of all my teflon years ago, and won`t bring it back in, especially since we eat a lot of rice.  I`m wondering if anyone has come across an alternative.

There is the Vita Clay ( can't remember if it's one word or not).. Although I personally have a Zojirushi. I hate non stick too but I tolerate it in my Zo because it makes the best rice and I'm not worried about the pot overheating and causing a problem with the coating. If I could get a clay pot insert replacement I would. I cook rice great in a pot, I mostly love the rice cooker because it lets me set it and forget it, other than fluffing the rice when it sings the song telling me it's done and it keeps it the perfect serving temp for hours without burning or drying out. The Vitaclay one gets poor reviews on this though, I saw some complaints that it burns the rice if left in the pan for more than 20 minutes after it's done.

Almost everyone here owns a rice cooker.  I will NEVER go back to cooking rice in a pot on the stove.  Our rice cooker is a stainless steel pot.  It's a pretty basic model, was around $20 and works like a charm.  Sometimes the rice sticks a little, but nothing a quick soak and wash can't handle.

mine has a nonstick coating, it is a small one, make like 6 cups cooked max.The brand is rival. Cooks brown rice great, without a different setting or anything, just add some extra water.
