I use this cooker for over a year, it works perfectly now that I apply a few simple rules. I always take the rice bought in exotic stores to have a good rice (Finished Mr uncle bens). For Basmati and Thai rice, it is generally necessary to add 50% water compared to what it announces. Little more for your Basmati add a few cloves and cardamom in cooking. For Japanese sticky rice, we need double the dose. If you wish to obtain a vinegared rice, add a few drops of rice vinegar (can be bought in trade in exotic radius). To prevent the rice from sticking to the bottom of the bowl to the end of cooking in "hot" position, I suggest you add some water and mix your rice.
Contrary to what the oldest comment, cooker Cuisinart CRC400E is more than enough for 2 and even 4 people!
