Thanks Winston. My husband surprised me with a rice cooker last week! I had been talking about maybe getting one. He was out shopping and saw one on sale so he bought it for me. Unlike the cliche, I am a women who LOVES to get cookware and kitchen gadgets as gifts.

Thanks for the info on the pressure cooker. I'm still thinking about it...actually I'm thinking more about where I would store it when it's not being used.
