We are excited about the rice cooker. Visually, it looks very good. We opted for the rice cooker Gastroback after much testing and comparison with other devices. The carrying handle is very skilled for quick storage. And now, the cooking result: We have different varieties of rice have been tried and only pleasantly surprised. Rice has a consistency as the China-Snack (depending on variety). In the manual it is mentioned that the rice at the bottom of brown spots can get (by the underlying heating plate). But in smaller quantities (3 Scoop) we have not yet been determined. So if you have space in the kitchen and in the 25 minutes required for cooking rice, to want to take care of other things, which should buy this device necessarily.
