Title: Poor design
Product review: It looks nice, but whoever built this didn't expect it to be used.As mentioned in other reviews, the water boils over if you don't add butter or oil. What this really means is that you will have rice-water spattering everything nearby, even if you're only cooking one cup of rice.The lid seems mismatched to the bowl. It doesn't quite sit right, so you have steam escaping out one side as well as out of the "steam hole". The knob on top of the lid gets pretty hot, so you have to have a hot pad to open it.There's nowhere to put the rice paddle. Most rice cookers have a place to put the scoop. (You're supposed to "fluff" the rice a few minutes after it finishes cooking; it's nice to be able to put the paddle somewhere other than the counter top.) Due to the shape of the lid, you can't even set it on top.It looks nice, and it cooks rice, but the design is terrible. Buy something else.
