One of the best purchases of my life

One of the best purchases of my life. I'm tired of husking the regular size rice that I'd have to save for later and it gets a bit stale even if you add some water and reheat in the microwave. I love rice and eat it with almost every meal, so eating fresh rice every day is a whole different thing. It takes less time to cook than large ones, anywhere from 20 to 30 minutes. I also use steam from time to time to steam my face to clear my pores. This allows you to simply steam the water directly in the bathroom. I've never added essential oil or anything other than water as I still use it for cooking, but I think you can. I was a bit hesitant at first because of the price, but once you understand that the "cook" switch works on "reheat" during the cooking process, you're good to go. You'll hear a click and know you have about 5 minutes until the rice is ready. You can easily judge it by seeing that it's still smoking. (When the steaming stops, it ends) Leaving it on to keep it warm for too long could burn the rice. I believe mine started browning half an hour after it stopped vaping, so you'll need to turn off the network if you want it to stop cooking. Ultimately the best for a soloist. Revision 12/2019: I have another friend, but I've found that I can't get the lid wet if water gets in. Somehow everything went well, but I'm afraid of how the lid looks inside. I'll replace this block eventually, but not yet, I'm still brave (frugal). Now it's dry and I washed it very carefully instead of soaking it and it didn't get back in. If you don't hear him splashing around, it's probably fine. I have my guess as to where the water is coming in, but that's debatable. I'm alive and this guy is still cooking rice. In fact, I've made some really delicious ramen in this and other bean soups. One of my favorites are frozen potstickers in vegetable broth made from gel concentrate and some hand-picked bok choy leaves. Once it's hot and the leaves are limp, it's done. This is the perfect light soup to end the day or as a late night snack. (You can also make this in a mug with a dumpling guys it's such an easy appetizer) (I have a few mug cake recipes too) (Finally I want to say that this guy is a pretty cool dude and will reheat/make broths and oatmeal and bean dishes, and I just wish I had a spare pan so I could use them more often)
