I did this for a few weeks but I am glad and I use often. The simmering function is extra to prepare the meal in the morning, he cooked the day and the meal is ready in the evening it stays warm up to what is happening at the table. Positives: - Device that combines the functions rice cooker (and steam) and slow cooker, so saving space compared to two devices - Possibility to enter the food (I use it to cook rice or meat before cooking), rare on this type of product - Adequate capacity for my family (large crock 6L and seemed too big for me daily) -Digital well finished (stainless steel) and well insulated, it does not burn by touching the outside - Automatically switches to keep warm very valuable Negative points: - You can not adjust the cooking time, it automatically calculates, for steam, no problem simply dosing the water (1 measuring bowl is roughly 20 minutes) for the slow cooker function, c ' is about 4 hours for the strong simmer and 7am for gentle simmering after nothing prevents to stop before or instead, to boost cooking if desired ... For a slow cooker is not just minutes near. In the end, the lack timer is not so annoying and it has the merit of making the hyper basic unit.
Note that the slow cooker seems to be around 90 degrees gentle simmer mode and 100 degrees in elevated mode on my own measurements (no indication found on the notice), in any case, no excessive bubbling.
