I buy this rice cooker hope that I would be able to cook rice for myself without burn it and it work the first time as advertise . the instruction be a little weird but nothing to complicate . like many have say you can start the rice in the morning and come home to perfect rice . 2 cup of rice be enough for 2-3 people since you will not loose any rice to sticking or burning . do not think twice about buy this rice cooker it be great and do not be scare that it be not make in japan the quality be still there .
