This rice cooker is a lifesaver! This is the first one i have ever own, this Kitchenaid rice cooker is amazing! Its has multiple setting for rice, grains, and beans and it cooks all of them in under an hour. The first thing i made in it was Spanish rice and it literally came out perfect! The water dispensers mesures the water out for you, so no more over cooked rice. I never knew that i needed a rice cooker in my life until now!
