This rice cooker is so incredibly easy to use. The directions are simple and the rice turns out with very fluffy and separate grains: no stickiness and no scorching. The automatic shutoff feature is very handy. I used this cooker on brown rice, jasmine, and long grain white rice. There is no need to add any fats, butter or oil: very healthy and perfectly cooked grains every time. Dishwasher safe makes it so easy to clean and the nonstick surface of the cooking pot is truly nonstick.. Love it!
