this cooker be great for cooking small amount of rice , I have yet to try a full pot . base on the direction recommendation for cooking one serve , it be about 15 minute too long . but with any product never use before it be all about trial and error . I would recommend this to anyone who like to cook rice but do not want to use up the pot they have for other dish . take up a small amount of counter space , and the cleanup be so easy . 4\/5
