cook rice just right . I have have another aroma ricer cooker -lrb- 10 cup -rrb- before and it do a good job too . the old one have a removerable air vent for easy clean up and prevent the residue build up on the top -lrb- this one leave a mess -rrb- . this one do have a kool feature ; it beep to let you know that the rice be ready . overall it be a good buy .
