2012 Great product for rock-bottom price

I don't like things that require lots of clean up after. I bought this so I could have rice cooking and not have to pay much attention to it if I was interrupted by kids etc. First time use, I did 1 cup measure of brown rice using the enclosed cup, and filled to the 1 mark line for water on the pot per the instructions. Clicked cook and went about cooking the rest of my meal. 10 minutes later and there is splattering of starchy water out of the little vent hole in the lid. Everywhere - for a 1 foot radius around the entire cooker. I unplugged it, cleaned it up, started again with only a half cup measure of rice, and water to the appropriate line. Same thing. Splatter everywhere. This time I had a towel underneath it and let the rice finish cooking. It was perfectly cooked at least.

I then attempted steel cut oatmeal overnight using the Warm function. That did not splatter and made for creamy wonderful oatmeal first thing in the morning. Right now I am doing a 1/4 cup measure of barley with water to the 1/2 mark line (since barley requires a little more water than rice). It's splattering on Cook.

I think this will be delegated to only oatmeal or other hot cereals on Warm. The Cook function causes the boil-over or splattering and therefore clean up. Not sure if I'll be trying another rice cooker. I just got this, and just ate my first meal from it today.
Brown rice (the hardest to cook well), and some steamed organic carrots, broccoli, baby bok choy and mustard greens. Some dried oregano and a little lemon juice for flavor.
Perfect rice, delicious meal!
I followed the grocery store recommended proportions (2 cups water to 1 measure of rice) for bulk long-grain brown rice, not the user manual (1 up water to 1 measure of rice) and cooked it for about an hour, adding the veggie steamer at about 45 minutes. It went to warm after about an hour, and rather than risk it burning the rice on the bottom, I let it sit on warm for 5 minutes and then unplugged it and left it for another 5 minutes. I stirred it with a silicone spatula a couple of times while cooking. (The plastic spoon was missing from the box, but I would not have used it anyway, because I want to preserve the teflon as long as possible).
The results were, to repeat, perfect. A simple meal, totally delicious, cooked without a kitchen.
I like my toys, and I was looking at a stainless steel Japanese model with a supercomputer running it, that cost north of $250. I bought this one on impulse, and it did the job for about $14. I don't know how long it will last, and I don't care. It will pay for itself in 3 or 4 meals. A great intro to using a rice cooker, and I may be using it for years to come. Recommended for a single person if you are cooking a complete meal, or 2 people if you are cooking rice as a side dish.
