sorry for the trite title but this be go to be a very useful product -- not like a juicer I buy last year and can not even find now . it be easy to use and make some of the best rice I have ever taste . honest . it also steam veggy and make tofu . I make a cup at a time and sometimes eat the whole thing at one sit . more often however be I snack on it over the course of the 12 hour warming cycle .
