Easy to use menu and high quality finish : this be a excellent rice cooker . it work as describe in the manual and produce cook rice , better than we expect . so far so reliable . I have use Sanyo product in the past and find very reliable . I expect this also should be the same -lrb- still use a couple of week -rrb- . one thought : why dont they manufacture `` similar '' rc with Stainless Steel cooking pot -lrb- I do not find any -lrb- similar -rrb- cooker with ss pot -lrb- not the outer cover -rrb- . -rrb- .
