Great design goes well with my kitchen. Storage is minimal with this. Very easy to use and you get quite a bit of rice outta it. Three cups goes a long way. Keeps your rice warm too if you are waiting on other food to cook. Instructions are easy to follow very simple. I like that you can pull it out to put the additional rice in the fridge without dirtying up any storage containers.Rice cooks fairly fast in the steamer and tastes way better than making it on the stove.
