 | Author: I. Tysoe "Inna Tysoe" (E.. | This is the third rice cooker we've owned. It replaces a cheaper and smaller Panasonic model we have been pleased with for several years.This cooker is a little larger than anticipated. We really like the bigger bowl we have for cooking the rice. And, as you would expect, it is well made and has a rubber seal around the inside of the hinged lid.Thus far, we have used the cooker mostly for rice.
