Versatile Kitchen Helper
This is a super high quality product, on par with the finest kitchen gadgets available. So if you simply like fine things, it will please you. Even the hefty titanium-clad bowl is a joy to behold.
This machine is designed for easy living. It's smaller than you might think from the pictures. I have handbags that would grab more counter space. However, if you have *no* counter space to spare, the self-retracting cord and bail handle are your friends. Just pick it up and stow it with no fuss. The built in battery keeps the time.
It makes extremely good rice because: 1) It has a special cooking program for any kind of rice you want. 2) It lets you set the texture/firmness to your preference. 3) It automatically keeps the rice warm until you are ready to use it.
Or you can set it to cook your rice very fast, if that's what you need. In either case, the cooker could not be simpler to use. It is much easier and far more reliable than cooking rice in a pot. Click the MENU button to step through your rice varieties. Click the TEXTURE button to step through your firmness options. Click the COOK button to start cooking. Click the STOP button if you panic. There are timer functions that are just as simple to use. Read the manual if you are into that.
Clean up is quick and painless--rinse and wipe. Nothing sticks to the bowl. You snap out the outer vent assembly and inner gasket assembly, both on the door. This is easy to do, but not obvious how to do it. So read the directions. The door is an amazingly complicated device involving valves and gaskets. They don't want any of that to get gummed up. It's an automatic pressure cooker and you must keep it clean to continue enjoying that convenience.
I bought this model because it is a multi-tasker. The versatility is astounding. It will not fry or brown or burn food. However, if you like soup, think of it as a soup machine. Enjoy a 2nd helping at your leisure, because it will effortlessly keep that pot of soup warm for you. If you would like a soft boiled egg just exactly when you stumble out of bed, the timer will have it ready. Since I grow and freeze vegetables, this is my steaming machine. It will braise your brisket. It will do your ramen noodles. It will brew your tea if all your other pots are busy catching roof leaks.
Lastly, this machine will help you develop a more sophisticated palate. Pick up pound sacks of a dozen different varieties of rice at the co-op. Boldly sample and compare them; the Sanyo already knows how to cook each one perfectly. Just chew and take notes so you can impress friends/business associates/clients/prospective bed partners with your extraordinarily nuanced culinary knowledge. LOL

Caucasian making perfect Rice? YUP!
If you ever have the chance to go in to the home of an Asian family you see a rice cooker where the toaster generally sits. I love brown rice, and making it on the stove in a pot worked, but I didn't get the results I desired. This machine is so simple and if you have a busy schedule the timer function insures the rice will be done when you want it. Make sure you wash out the iside of the machine thoroughly before using or your rice will take on a plastic smell. It goes away with use. I use the rice and water rations that are on the rice package and each time it comes out perfect. Steel cut oats are also a no brainer for the Sanyo ECJ-PX50S.
