ok I buy this rice cooker because the little rice cooker I have always burn the rice . this rice cooker look great , but it be also burn the bottom of my rice . I usually cook brown rice , it keep burn on the brown rice set so I decide to try cooking it on the white rice setting , it still burn on the bottom , but not as bad . still use it , I guess you get what you pay for . I buy this one think it be a great deal , low cost alternative to the more expensive rice cooker . I will continue to use it , just will not stir up the rice when it be do .
