Warm for days? That's a mold incubator ...
Mold? Not likely. Bacteria? Yes.
Per the CDC: Bacteria can multiply rapidly if left at room temperature or in the “Danger Zone” between 40°F and 140°F. Never leave perishable food out for more than 2 hours (or 1 hour if exposed to temperatures above 90°F).
I haven't experienced any mold in mine. It's a sealed unit (outside of it venting during cooking) and I'm no mycologist but I'm sure that mold spores wouldn't be too appreciative of the cooking process.
So you just cook rice several days ahead and don't open the cooker until then?
Some times, also left over rice can be put in the refrigerator and then used for fried rice. Sometimes I'll just make as much as I need on that occasion. Either way it comes out perfectly every time.
It stays hot, nothing's gonna be growing.
With mine, the rice is still pretty good after about 48h on the keep warm setting. It's still edible after 72 but starts to get too dried out at that point.
