I love my rice cooker
I love my rice cooker The "keep-warm" function works very well, it keeps the rice nice & hot. I've cooked rice & then had it sitting for about 30 minutes on keep warm. It stayed hot but didn't ruin the rice. no unwanted sogginess or overcooking. Oh, i've also used the keep-warm function to reheat leftover chicken & rice & it worked great. the food was moist & tender & nice & hot. This machine comes with an instruction booklet, a plastic stirrer, a measure cup, & a food steaming insert. With the measure cup provided a full cup will make 2 decent size portions of rice. (I always use the measure cup provided. Not sure if it is actually a dry cup or not, i have't checked.) I wouldn't suggest cooking less than a full cup of rice at a time. If you do, expect a little extra clean up. I tried this one day when i wanted a small serving of rice just for myself. The rice actually tasted fine, but while cooking it crackled & pinged & rice ended up splattered & crusted onto the inside lid. This created unwanted extra clean up. Plus it's probably not great for the machine. The inside compartment is removable & cleans very easily. It is non-stick, just rinse & gently wipe it out. I like that when i press the lid-open button it lifts the lid up nice & smooth. It may seem like a silly thing to comment on, but i think it's further evidence that the machine is well made. There's no annoying herky-jerky motion which could cause splattering. Also i like when i am checking on the rice during cooking I haven't gotten burned. (this was a concern because i have a black & decker flavor scenter food steamer. I often get burned taking the lid off. it seems no matter how careful i try to be i still get burned by that darn thing.) There's a steam vent on the lid of the rice cooker which has a little cap on it so it's not blowing scalding steam straight out in a geyser. So luckily whenever i have passed my hand over the vent i did not get burned. (unlike the darn black & decker. serious design flaws on that thing! even with the lid on i've gotten burned by the steam holes on the top)The instruction booklet has the typical safety/product care information. Plus there are some porridge/soup recipes. I wish it had more recipes or info on different things to cook like steel cut oats. I plan on trying oats in this rice cooker. It might take some trial & error but if i find a formula that works well then i'll update my review with it. As i will with soup & steaming if i ever try them out.
