I be very satisfied with this rice cooker . I use it to cook white or brown rice , the brown be my favorite . the brown rice take a little longer to cook because you have to double the amount of water . for example , if you use one cup of white rice , you use one cup of water . with the brown rice , you use two cup of water for one cup of brown rice . Make sure to rinse the rice several time before place it in the cooker . rinse until the water be relatively clear . this step will keep the rice from be sticky after it cook . clean up be a breeze .
