So here I am blown away! I have a big size rice cooker, the time when the children were at home- now that I live alone, cook a rice cooker in this former dose was no more! it was too little, he baked and poorly attached at the bottom ... I had tried a little rice cooker which, despite its non-stick layer, gave me a dry rice, plated on the bottom, inedible - Also, I was hesitant to try another - having read the reviews of several brands (! thank you Amazon for allowing us to have different opinions and to "judge" before buying), I decided for this small self cooker, and it is PERFECT! a small cup of rice to 2 cups of water, a little salt, and it swells perfectly! - The only advice I can give is to remove the plug when it is cooked, in order not to use the opportunity to "keep warm" ... We wait a few minutes, he completed to inflate, and it does not dry out ... think of the shell with a fork before serving so it does not clump. And it stays warm in the pot, no need to leave the decision ... I am increasingly satisfied with Amazon shipments: excellent packaging, speed, harbor now free ... I bought gifts Christmas for my little son-5, everything was perfect! - I especially appreciate that the order of a CD, DVD or book, to be sent in a package that BIGGEST mailboxes it forces the factor to ring! I have already been so robbed in my mail box, I applaud with 2 hands to Amazon packaging! BRAVO!
