I like the fuzzy one for the same reason, no brown skin. It also doesn't
pack as much. I usually use chopsticks to stir before serving instead of
cutting into it with a big spoon. The spoon as everyone knows is for
serving.

One thing that makes the fuzzy one more difficult to use is their
recommendation -- if you follow it -- is to wash the rice in another pot
instead of the pot that comes with it, so that the grain will not scratch up
the coating. Let's hope that the coating is harder than that -- but I have
followed their instructions on that count.

My older rice cookers are perfect steamers. I have no problem keeping them.

My old rice cooker didn't even have a steamer insert...it just cooks
rice.

My new rice cooker did come with a steam insert which I'll probably never
use.

I have a dedicated electric veggie steamer slash hard boiled egg maker. I
used this steam more often to hard boil eggs than to actually steam
anything.


Since I nuke my veggies mostly and I rarely steam anything else. I've
started noticing how many things I have to steam with...the wok, pasta
pot, rice cooker and the electric steamer this doesn't count the various
steamer pot inserts I have floating around in boxex and drawers,

Get those inserts into ONE PLACE!
This sort of thing can drive me crazy -- I don't know about you.
