this be a very nice rice cooker and a excellent value . unlike other rice cooker in the same price range , this cooker do as well with jasmine , calrose , basmatus and brown rice as it do with white rice . no one like mushy or crunchy rice , especially kitchen monkey boy . not a problem with this cooker . it be definitely not the same quality as the high end cooker , but hey , you do not pay $ 200 for it either . shut up and eat you nummy rice ! kitchen monkey boy give it 4 banana .
