+
+I don't have much rice with me (Basmati, in this case), and I'm away from home for the week, so I only used a single scoop of rice.
+I believe the provided cup is 100ml (it is marked such that I assume this, and the volume appears correct), so my volume of rice was about 90ml and water 140ml.
+I set the rice cooker going and left it alone for 14 minutes or so, expecting to return to watch it finish.
+To my surprise, however, it was already done, dutifully warming my rice.
+
+Not having added any salt or other things to make it more interesting, it was plain, but not unpleasant.
+Next time, I was try a fraction more water and adding some salt as I should have.
+Promising results though, as I have never cooked rice before, in a pot or otherwise.
