Well I start with an important point that many people ask before purchasing such an article. If you rarely cook rice, cereals go your way, by cons if you're like me (I cook rice, grain at least 5 times a week) where you'll have the chance to invest in a product of very good quality . The bowl is just huge, if you want to make rice for one or two people, take a smaller paper, it makes everything even to cook almost 1kg of rice at once! As for the "sake" rice that attaches to the bottom, I give you a little tip, lightly grease with absorbent soaked in bottom of bowl oil paper and avoid leaving drag your rice warm up mode for hours. I do not think you do the same with your rice in the pan! Otherwise the benefits of this product is that you can do lots of savory and sweet recipes as much. Besides the photos you can see above is one of the included recipe book (Oh yes, there is a small booklet of recipes in it!). Very easy to use, I also strongly recommends that you read the small beginning of the User Guide at the end !!!! You can not say we did not warn you! Everything is explained very well in it. I made my first test yesterday with small steamed chocolate cake (a wonder !!!), you can see the result on top of a white photos and rice with vegetables. Easy one puts it all in (rice, vegetables, meat -already cuite- water or broth) is pressed is closed and allowed to work. When the machine beeps when it ends, I suggest you take the supplied spoon and stir your rice, cut the machine and leave the lid closed. It keeps the heat already half an hour! Otherwise apart from that it's a purchase I do not regret that I recommend to lovers rice and cereals, steam and other stews. For others, the experience can be trying will you discover other possibilities and to share it all!
