this be nice rice cooker , especially for one person . I have have this rice cooker for 3 year now and it be such a time saver . I put in 1 cup of brown rice and 2.5 cup of water and press down on the `` on '' button and leave it . it be so simple ; now I do not to worry about burn my rice . if you have rice `` stick '' on this , try add a 1\/4 cup more water . that should do the trick . -lrb- note : if you use white rice , the ratio 1 cup rice to 2 cup water . -rrb- it also have a nice steamer , so you can steam vegetable at the same time . it have a small `` footprint '' so it do not take up a lot of room . it do the job and be inexpensive . one thing I do notice be the power cord length be on the short side , but I be very satisfied .
