Title: Messy, makes crusty rice and doesn't cook brown rice.
Review: Boils over something fierce when cooking brown rice (even the Japanese "light brown" rice which cooks faster) and doesn't cook it properly (needs to cook it longer). Also boils with the sticky Japanese / Chinese rice. Annoying. Makes a heck of a mess. A pat of butter helps a lot with the boiling over (when you remember it) but there are still other flaws.Mess aside it does a decent job with traditional "Sticky" rice thought the bottom rice tends to "brown" or crust slightly which is not good.Our small (3 cup) cooker was too small and the only reason we bought this was the price and the brand (It's Panasonic, they must be OK for cooking rice) NOT SO.I recommend the traditional "Chinese" style rice steamers (e.g. Tatung with water added between the rice pan and the cooker) or the more expensive "Japanese" style cookers with the "moisture cap" which prevents boiling over. This is the worst of both worlds.We're going to buy something better.
