I have use this cooker twice now and it do a great job prepare rice . I have to avoid gluten so use this at work to make up my special diet food - very easy to use and clean up be a breeze . you do have to read and follow the instruction on how much liquid to use for the various type of rice etc. . all in all a great buy - in fact , I intend purchase the larger -lrb- 6 cup -rrb- version for use at home .
