I've never used a rice cooker before but have always been curious about them. This Green Life rice cooker is cute and petite, doesn't take up any counter space and can be easily disassembled for cleaning. It comes with a rice spatula and a measuring cup for the perfect portions of rice/oats/quinoa. I've only used this for making breakfast oats with the steel cut oats and I'm never making them stovetop or by microwave again, this is definitely a game changer. The oats seem to be more flavorful prepared this way than by any other way I had done previously. I can't wait to explore cooking other grains!
