Depends on the model you get. Mine heats the mostly from the bottom but a 3 cup rice cooker is too small for use as a slow cooker unless you are into meals for one. The unit my daughter picked up when she moved away from home is also a 3 cup but uses induction heating plus an additional heater in the lid for more even heating (or so the advertising claims).
