This rice cooker is AMAZING, but don't buy this overpriced Amazon listing! I bought mine for maybe $12-15 at a Target store six years ago, and it's been beyond perfect. The steaming basket is perfect for a bag of frozen broccoli or peas (or a can of red beans), and my rice (or quinoa) comes out gerat. Yes, sometimes it gets a little golden/crispy on the bottom, but only if I didn't use enough water and/or didn't stir. You should always stir your rice/quinoa/whatever once or twice during cooking. That's true of every rice cooker I've ever used, though. This one is really simple and straightforward, easy to use and clean, and has lasted a long time for me. You can buy it for $15 on Rival's website, and I paid less than that in-store at a Target (years ago, though). Don't pay this much on Amazon.
