I use this Panasonic SR-WA10 rice cooker from last more than 2 years. This is the simplest way to cook rice.The process is to add just rice and double water means if you take one cup of rise than 2 cups of water. Than switch on and push the button down for from the cooker and cooking starts. When the all water vaporiz and rice cooked well the button automatically goes up and stop the heating process.This cooker is used not just for plain rice but also biryani rice or more rice items. Also as I am vegetarian but there is book comes in the box that explains whole procedure for cooking vegetarian also non-vegetarian items.
