we eat a lot of rice and this rice cooker do the job beautifully . it be so nice to make it ahead of time and keep in the fridge . the brown rice even come out great , and that be never be a favorite before now . I highly recommend this product to anyone who love rice and the convenience this cooker offer . it be also cheaper to buy the big bag of long cooking rice , rather than the boil-it bag we have use before . the steamer be also a nice feature for one pot meal .
