I buy this rice cooker after try other and nothing come close to how this rice cooker make rice . it be excellent . the rice come out perfect everytime . soft , fluffy , tender and just right . I buy the 3-cup rice cooker and if you serve the perfect portion it serve about 6 people -lrb- a spoon & 1\/2 -rrb- . it be compact and easy to keep clean and store in any small space . I think this be the best rice cooker i have ever own . I love it !!
