It’s very simple to use, and looks exactly like the picture. I have the pink one. I only have to warn you that the instructions aren’t accurate. So if you use 1 cup of rice only fill the water to the half line. Next do not leave the rice inside the cooker on warm when it’s finished cooking. It will burn. Also as a useful tip, cook the rice first as you are preparing your meal. It will take about a hour until it is done. Ok that’s all. Enjoy!!!!
