Oster 8-Cup Rice Cooker Review

I love my rice-cooker! I grew up overseas, in Africa. I have also been privileged to have traveled a lot around the world. Everywhere I have gone: St. Vincent, Africa, China, Europe, etc., I have discovered that the main food source is basically rice. Here in the United States, we don't take advantage of this delicious food enough. And I believe that is partly because of the fact that many people do not know how to cook rice that is good. So many Americans are only familiar with instant rice, which, let's face it- stinks! I am convinced that if more people had an Oster Rice Cooker, that they'd eat more rice and enjoy the flavor a lot more. Plus- I mean, really, how much easier could it be? Have 4 people eating? Want 4 cups of rice? Ok...put 4 cups in and fill with water up to the 4 cup line...and TaDa! Also, you can make brown rice in the Oster, as well as steaming things such as vegetables, or even fish. I put chicken stock down in the bottom of my rice cooker, and steam broccoli in the steamer tray- it's fabulous! So, in short, or long, I highly recommend the Oster rice cooker/steamer!
