Great quality and very lightweight So far, I've used this pot to cook brown rice, hulled barley and used it as a steamer for a couple of tamales! One cup of uncooked grain yields two perfect sized portions when cooked! There were no English language instructions included but after watching a couple of YouTube videos plus previous experience with other rice cookers, it was a piece of cake! With the inner pot containing the rice nested in the outer pot, I just added water until it was about a half inch over the rice. Clamp the lid on and set the burner on med. As soon as steam starts escaping from the vent hole, turn it down to low and let it ride for 15-20 minutes! Perfectly cooked rice or barley! This is just what I needed to expand my camping cookware!
