Title: Surprised at how much I've ended up using this!
Product review: I read the reviews and decided against getting this, despite how much some reviewers liked it. But last summer when I saw it in a silent auction and realized that I could get it for a $1 bid, I couldn't resist. Best dollar I ever spent...this rice cooker actually works, and very well at that. The rice it makes, parboiled, white or brown, has all turned out great. The only time I had any sort of mess was when I did the maximum amount of brown rice, and then it was no big deal to clean up. This makes it so easy to pick up a Chinese entrée at our grocery store, and come home to make the rice in the microwave -- we save money by making our own rice and it couldn't be easier to get it done using this cooker. The negative reviews here chased me away for a while; I'm so glad I had a price I couldn't resist so I could "discover" this product.
