The rice cooker is already very beautiful, well finished and quite compact. To make good rice it is just enough to put 2 cups of rice and 3 cups of water and less than 15 minutes your rice is ready. You can vapors vegetables (tested and it's great), even fish but I have not tested. The Keep Warm is great especially when you get the world because we do not always know when we go to dinner. That's good for now, if you eat a lot of rice (1-2 times / week) please. Congratulations Cuisinart and Amazon for their seriousness.
