I buy it about 2 year ago from Amazon for rice & rice soup cooking . it be the best rice cooker I ever have . I use it for , - Rice cook : timer cook steam rice after 8 hour , it still taste like fresh . you can start the cook in the morning . the rice will be ready when you get back from work in the evening . it use only 10w\/hour for keep it warm . - Rice soup : almost every night , I add in 2tb oat meal & 3 tb rice & 3cup water into the slow cooker , and set it to 6 hour for slow cooking . in the morning morning , it have my rice soup do . it be so very well make with titanium , simply the best quality .
