I have owned this product for just over a year now. I bought it to simplify cooking rice. This product did not help. The rice always seems to burn. Today I used shortening on the bottom of the pan before adding the rice and water. It worked. The rice did not stick to the bottom... first time for this. It still started to burn. I caught it at just the right time to save it. Also as others have noted the cover is not heavy enough to prevent starchy water from spewing all over. I've conquered this by placing an upside down coffee mug over the handle. It adds enough weight to keep it from splashing everywhere. All in all I would suggest you look for a better made product.
