Have the Tristar rice cooker ordered me because I'm single and I want to quickly and easily prepare rice. Often, larger rice cooker problems with small amounts, since then the rice can burn the pot. The Tristar no problem, the smallest portion are 1.5 cups of cooked rice, ideal for a person. The rice has a good consistency and is always right. The inner pot is easy to clean. The machine does not take up much space. Be careful not to lose manual as namely are the ratios of rice to water it. You do not know which, it's over quickly with the rice pleasure;)
