After I was spoiled for years with a Japanese rice cooker from National (which was made for the European market and I unfortunately can not get), I have now decided to use a simple rice cooker. It is very annoying that you have for this device constantly pull the plug pure and, since it has no power button, but only two functions for cooking and keeping warm, so he would be on constantly. As we cook rice every day, which is very annoying. Also clean the rubber seal on the lid always has to happen very carefully as quickly settles mold in the joints. The old boiler had above a removable intermediate cover you could very well cleaned. So for those who cook a lot of rice, I consider this device for less suitable. Since European manufacturers must still come up with better, also on the material here. The bowl inside streamed unpack after buying an unpleasant plastic smell.
