this be a product of great value . my friend buy it first for cooking rice to go with chicken curry -lrb- these two go perfect with each other -rrb- . I follow he and get this 3 cup uncooked yield 6 cup cook rice cooker . at first I think it be a little bit small , however , it be totally enough for one person or two . I cook every dinner with 2\/3 cup of uncooked rice , and still have left-over the next day for my lunch , so it be approximately 1\/3 cup of uncooked rice for one meal for a girl . just do not follow the rice to water ratio in the instruction , u should always get a little less water than it require , otherwise the rice will be a little bit too mushy . Trust I , I be asian so I be really good at cooking rice : p and I also use it to cook quinoa which be even healthier than rice , just use the same solid to liquid ratio for cooking rice and it go well with cook black bean and cilantro . I even try to use it for hotpot , it work not perfect but still do the work .
