after burn out 3 pot try , I quit make rice until I could find a cooker that be the right size -lrb- small -rrb- , be easy to clean , and would not break after 3 use -lrb- National -rrb- . when i see the Zojirushi could also make steel cut oats I be sell . I have use it for 2 week and make sushi rice , white rice and steel cut oats . the timer be great ! it have my breakfast ready and wait when I wake up and come out perfectly every time . the rice have also be flawless . I love the size -lrb- same size as my toaster -rrb- and the retractable cord . the bowl inside be non-stick , and removable make it a breeze to clean . this be a winner !! it be perfectly size for singles or couple . I could not be happier ! p : best steel cut recipe be 1:2.5 -lrb- oats to water -rrb- , program on ` Porridge ' setting .
