Get a good pressure rice cooker. These are meant to let you leave the rice warm inside for about up to a week. Game changer and always have rice on hand.

Not sure any food can safely be kept warm that long, they keep your rice warm and edible for quite awhile but even 12-24hrs is pushing it.

If it keeps rice above the "danger zone", dont see why not, but that's hot, not warm. And a week is pushing it.

It depends on the brand. Western rice cookers have a keep warm feature that I wouldn't trust.

Zorushi and Cuckoo that keep the rice under pressure at around 140F will keep for 2-3 days. https://kitchencuddle.com/rice-cookers-that-keep-rice-warm-for-days/

Yeah, a week is really pushing it, I think I just remembered wrong.
