I never really think of myself as someone who make rice a lot , but I always hate make it on the stove . I look into a few rice cooker on amazon and see they be all pretty poorly review , except this one . this be the best appliance I have ever purchase , bar none . it make it so easy to get restaurant-quality rice in about 30-45 minute -lrb- depend on if you use the `` quick '' setting or not -rrb- , and rice become a variable that you do not need to worry about while prepare you dinner . it be just there and ready for you when you need it . I be not a great cook , but this thing be idiot proof . it be worth spend the money on it , I use it all the time and do not regret the purchase price one bit . buy one if you even remotely love have rice with meal , you will not regret it .
