I've used this product for rice, of course, but made macaroni and cheese, and porridge too. I love it. I love my little rice cooker. My pattern seems to be make rice whilst doing dishes and now I'm keeping rice in the fridge and it's so easy to build a meal on rice. I used to make a ton, then the leftovers would get nasty before I could eat it all. There's no more waste w/my mini rice cooker. I love it. Bought one for my son, too for his RV. He doesn't use it as often as I do, but says he loves having it for when he wants rice. It's an awesome little machine.
