Pros: Drip catcher is helpful for keeping things neat and tidy. Steamer basket makes preparing healthy meals a snap.

Cons: You will have to experiment with the right ratio of water to rice, based on the recommendations, in order to avoid browning on the bottom.

Overall Review: Everyone should have a rice/steamer pot in their lives. Take a look at Roger Ebert's blog and/or book about how indispensable it is to healthy & happy living.
