this my my first ever rice cooker and I be wonder if all rice cooker produce the same result ... very disappointing and sticky rice ? the first day i try the cooker , I put everything in and set it to go , give it it be stir at 15 minute and my rice still come out crunchy on bottom , extremely sticky , and a little dry . today be the second try . I add a little extra water to compensate for the dryness . after the 15 minute I stir continuously , and the rice still come out all funky . still crunchy on the bottom , really sticky , but not burn . as other have mention it be messy , the steam hole actually work like a whale spout and spit bit of rice and ton of water . I have to keep a towel under the cooker while it be run to prevent my cabinet from get soak in rice water .
