this be my first rice cooker , and I love it ! very easy to use , and I recently find out that it be pretty dummy-proof . I be plan on do rice and steamed asparagus together and , not think , push the wrong setting on the cooker . while it take I 5-10 minute to realize this , once I push the correct button the cooker adjust for the mistake and the rice come out very well . that be my first time steam vegetable as well , and they come through really great too . the take-out tray in the inside also make it pretty easy to clean . I typically make smaller batch of rice for 1-2 people , and they come out great every time . it be a little bigger than I be anticipate ; I be hope to get a smaller machine but overall be very happy with my purchase .
