http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/review\/create-review\/ref=cm_cr_pr_wr_but_top?ie=utf8&nodeid;=&asin;=b002dml11k# i purchase this item to use for cooking long grain brown rice , because my sister have a smaller model that cook brown rice well . I have never use a rice cooker before . I keep change the ratio of brown rice to water after try it the way the instruction booklet say ; but the rice never get do enough . unfortunately , I miss the return window ; so must keep this item . I believe it probably work well for white rice , but white rice be not as nutritious as brown . I do not try to cook white rice with it ; because I do not eat white rice . it would help if the descripton specify that a 6-cup Rice Cooker mean it cook 6 cup of raw rice which be a lot of rice !
