I did not want to hear about a rice cooker: what for ??? It was really the last device that I have bought. But it turns out that I have received and suddenly, I tried it. Well, it became me MANDATORY !!! Let me explain. The rice cooking is simply PERFECT (thai rice, round, risotto or paella - see picture) in twenty minutes in all. And for my part, nothing has burned to the bottom of the tank. Well, so far, nothing exceptional, you say. But the "plus" is that this device is many other things! Pasta is extra: Butter in bolognaise or gratin (see photo). Cereals (bulgur, quinoa, wheat, etc.) are perfect also. And the ultimate is that you put all the ingredients in the bowl, and ... we will go about their business. That happiness !!! Last thing: stews are excellent (there by cons, we must put the timer to keep some sauce). I even made a "semolina barfi" (dessert made with semolina of Indo-Pakistani origin) excellent. And I think trying gender desserts rice pudding or semolina cakes. To be continued ... This newcomer has quickly become my MANDATORY !!! The only downside would be that the book was not included in the package. But okay, I contacted customer service via email and they sent me one this week. That said, it is ridiculously small and insignificant. If you want real recipes, do a google search for the recipes of rice cube Seb and you will not be disappointed; you will have lots of recipes. In short, this camera is versatile and much easier life. And it's really good! Maybe come back I put one or two of my favorite recipes ...
