Very good device. Yet I can not explain that the cover has holes as in the picture, such as on devices that I had already seen, there was none. These holes have the disadvantage that release steam by splashing the environment. I have not found what could be their usefulness and so I put another cover, the same diameter, I have taken on another function different apparatus. Everything is fine with this new cover, I used several kinds of rice, quinoa and also, according to my uses and cooking have always been perfect. But what a strange idea to provide a perforated lid.
