Absolutely love this cooker. I use it to make brown rice (you do need to add a little extra water for it to come out perfect), white rice, oatmeal, and even steam veggies in it. They come out perfect and as a busy mom being able to set it leave it and come back to a finished product is a huge plus! Also like I learned doing my research make sure to do natural release and keep warm off so the rice doesnt stick!
