great rice cooker . Works great for brown rice , white rice , and yes , even wild rice -lrb- actually , not a rice , but a grain -rrb- . however , my favorite dish be Steel Cut -lrb- pinhead -rrb- oatmeal . setup the ns-lac05 at night before bedtime . set the cooker to `` Porridge '' and set the timer for the desire completion time . use one zojus cup of pinhead oats -lrb- I like Bob 's Red Mill -rrb- , 3 zojus cup of water , brown sugar to taste , some raisin , cinnamon , and optional vanilla extract . wake in the morning to delicious steel cut oats . use the keep warm mode to keep the oatmeal warm for the late riser in the family .
