I received this as a gift from a friend who loves hers.  However, I’ve tried the overnight stone ground oatmeal according to the recipe, and the machine overflowed covering the counter and floor with a gooey mess. Next, I made regular medium grain white rice, once again according to the recipe and measurements in the instruction booklet and the thing overflowed with another gooey mess. I’ll give this thing one more try before I throw it out.
