Judging by other reviews, it seems that the French are still not very aware of the benefits of automatic rice cookers, a standard in all cuisines of Asia and the Middle East since the appearance of the first Japanese model In the 60s. The principle is simple: measuring rice with the supplied cup filled with water up to the graduation corresponding to the number of cups of rice, is connected and begins to cook; a bimetal is triggered when the temperature rises above 100 degrees because all the water has evaporated, and the plate switches to "Keep Warm." This cooker is a very standard model but it works well, and the vessel is covered with a non-stick quality. Unlike ordinary Chinese models, the power cord does not come off, which makes it a little less convenient to store.
There are much more sophisticated models that are not found on Amazon; the major manufacturers are Zojirushi, Technics / Panasonic and Sanyo. With models called "neuro-fuzzy" extraordinary results are obtained and they are able to keep rice warm for 24 hours without it attaches to the bottom. More than 150 euros, you really eat a lot of rice to justify their purchase! Otherwise you will be fully satisfied with this simple but quality model.
