The Kitchen Aide Rice and Grain Cooker is nothing less "AMAZING". True to the descriptions and videos, this rice cooker is a no-brainer. There is no need to measure rice and water or calculate rice/grain cooking times; ensure the water reservoir is filled, and then dump the rice into the rice cooker. On the cooker display, read the questions and select the options available to the user. You're an expert if you can read and push the applicable buttons. EASY PEASY. My husband is constantly rolling his eyeballs at what he calls my whimsical gadget purchases. No whimsy is involved; this rice cooker cooks rice up unbelievably fast and perfectly. The Kitchen Aid Rice Cooker does not promote eye-rolling by my husband. He loves it.
