my first batch of brown rice from this unit be a revelation . I have use other rice cooker and I simply do not know what I be miss . even my parrot love the stuff , they scarf down every grain I put in they foodbowl . I have try other type of rice with result I consider superior to restaurant rice , at least for the restaurant I have eat in . if you want to change you life through superior nutrition this be a big help . fit just about anywhere and be very easy to use . no con so far . -lrb- about a month . -rrb-
