Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

My wife gave me a very hard time about spending this much on an appliance that "should cost $40 at most". Her words. So, against her wishes, I splurged and got my dream rice cooker. The first night we got it I cooked Jasmine Rice. More grumbling about how long it took to cook...an hour for Jasmine Rice!?$&@? Not my best sales pitch. But then I asked her to describe her Rice experience with the cheaper cooker. Uneven cooking, wet spots, etc... Fast forward to an hour later...PERFECT RICE! What? PERFECT RICE! "Worth the wait," she says. The next we went to the store. "What other kinds of should we try?" she asks. What about that GABA Brown Rice? No problem, we waited two hours for that batch, but it was even better than the first! What about grits? (She is from Georgia) no problem; I even found a recipe for grits casserole in the rice cooker. What about parboiled rice? She has now ventured out on her own. I believe we now have five different kinds of rice in our cabinet. All have their own setting, and all come out perfect. No more do I hear discussion about cheaper rice cookers that don't perfectly steam the rice. This device delivers perfection and keeps Rice for days on the extended warm setting. I'm not kidding, five days! I can't say enough. Bottom line, spend the money. Get the larger model. Explore new rices. Smile! One of my best purchases.
