I did not believe, but on the advice of a friend, I'm tempted by a steamer. I did not think possible to cook rice with a steam cooker. Ultimately, after a very short period dadaptation, the result is remarkable. This model heats up quickly, it is possible to add water short heating without any problems. No complaints. By cons, I can a disappointment at the lack of detailed documentation, especially by the absence of some basic recipes to start by taking control of the device. Especially as on the manufacturer's site, there is no supplement to learn to make his first successes. I recommend this product, especially if you already know how to use this method of cooking.
