This is my first experience with a multicooker.  I tried jasmine rice, using the unit presets, but found that the rice was fully cooked at about the halfway point of the preset cooking time.  It is quite large, heavy, and a little clunky, but capacity is great if you need to prepare for a large group.  The lid is a mystery as it just sits on top, during cooking, without any way to secure it as far as I can tell.
