this be my first rice cooker and I do not really understand how I ever live without it . it be really easy to use . and the rice always come out perfectly . for a super fast meal , through in some veg in the steamer tray and I have get a complete meal . I be a little worried at first about the size , since I only cook for myself . but once I have rice , I find different way to eat it and I have never regret have a abundance of the stuff . definitely a win .
