The setup is pretty simple. I do think it cooks the food a bit slower. There are a few different features though. Sometimes the rice is ready faster and sometimes it isn’t

My Family has been using this Hamilton Beach multi purpose rice cooker for almost 3 years now, and it still works great for cooking white rice. It has enough capacity to cook rice for six people, it quite during cooking, and has a quick cooking function that takes only 35 minutes.

Very versatile , I use it to bake ,cook steam boil .I do not have to be monitoring it like when am cooking on the stove. It doesn’t boils over and leave a mess. Very efficient and effective. hHghly recommended
