Title: I prefer a steamer
Review: i used a black&decker; steamer to make rice for 10 yrs and it finally broke. I should have just replaced it, but i decided to get a dedicated rice cooker instead.Maybe it is just that there is a 'learning curve'. But the brown rice i make with this rice cooker is undercooked.With most steamers, you can check the rice and then put it back on for another 5 minutes. With this cooker it has a 15 minute timer. So either you cook for 15 min or another 15 min.It is possible that i will discover that if i add extra water or run 2 cycles that it will make perfect rice, but i can't give this a great review because i haven't managed to make great rice.Also this low end model does not have a warming function.Spend a bit more and get a better rice cooker.
