I love this device . its set and forget . come back 30min or 50min , do not matter , the rice be perfect . White rice , brown rice , basmatus and jasmine all come out restaurant quality . it be small , make just enough for my wife and I , and be not hard on the ac in the summer . it can also do pasta but you have to watch it a bit better than with rice . after get one for the home , I have get one for the office for when I need to stay late . I also want one for the truck for trip , but I know I would need something that could handle bump better .
