this be a great little rice cooker . I cook the rice well , and quickly . however , it do not make three cup of cook rice , as describe . it only make about 2.5 cup ... and that be with the cook rice all the way up to the absolute top rim of the cooker . that say , it be perfect for my little family of 2 . make sushi rice with it the last couple of day , and it come out wonderfully . highly recommend for someone who do not need a lot of rice at any one time . also cook soup and stew and heat up can food .
