Bought this product as a Christmas gift for my daughter. We used it a few days later and were pleasantly surprised to see how well this product worked. It cooked the rice perfectly and was so simple to use. One full pot of rice was enough for the four of us with no waste. Nothing stuck or burnt to the bottom of the pot so clean up was a snap. Just poured water and rice in and let it go. Great gift, easy to use and most of all, worked well.
