So much easier than cooking rice on the stove top.  The rice I cooked in the cooker came out very fluffy.  The non-stick liner was easy to clean and the steamer tray was a nice addition for rinsing the rice and I also used it to steam some veggies while the rice was cooking.  I like the feature of keeping the rice warm after it finishes cooking while I prepare the rest of the meal or to serve seconds with warm rice. I also made broccoli cheese soup in the cooker.  It turned out well and I didn't have the problem of the soup sticking on the bottom of the pan as it usually did before because of the non-stick liner.
