my first rice cooker , and I be surprise that `` 6 cup '' do not mean 6 cup ... but rather `` 6 Oster cup '' , which be much smaller than a normal cup . if you lose -lrb- or melt -rrb- they provide measure cup , you be mostly screw . all that say , it do work well , and free up a burner on the stove to do other thing , just do not expect to make `` real cup '' of rice .
