I have have a aroma rice cooker for a while and continually have trouble with it scorch the bottom of the rice while it never seem to get do . I be so frustrated that I finally decide to splurge and buy this cooker . it be amazing . as long as you follow the direction you can not make bad rice . it always turn out delicious . I have cook basmatus rice , Texmati brown rice and long grain wild rice . it come out great every time . I would higly recommend this little rice cooker .
