hey I'm seen that's right Crist and this is the time machine from three squares this isn't gonna send you back to the future but it is gonna cook things and see if you time in the kitchen or at least so it claims this is a rice maker that also has functions for quinoa and yogurt white and brown rice you can do a quick rice cook that'll save you several minutes it also has slow cooker functionality so you can slow cook on low medium or high with this thing now if I open the time machine up and pull the pan out you can look inside and see the 900 watt heating element there in the middle and in the very center you see that little round sensor that strings up and down that coupled with those ingredients Pacific presets or how the time machine knows how to cook things so accurately and so automatically when I say automatically that's exactly what I mean the time machine will cook all on its own you just put ingredients in you say you're cooking rice hits start and the wheels will start turning it'll cook and then beep what it's done it uses that fuzzy logic sensor to tell how long it takes so you can really just set it and forget it that's a nice feature that fuzzy logic sensor is also used in really high-end rice makers that cost well over a hundred dollars and at seventy dollars The Time Machine is a lot less expensive than those but there are other rights makers that cost a lot less basic models it sell for anywhere from twenty to thirty to forty dollars some of those includes slow cook functionalities some of those have sensors of their own not quite as good as the fuzzy logic sensor but still good enough for a basic batch of rice what that means is if you're gonna use this rice cooker quite a bit and take advantage of those dedicated quinoa and yogurt and oatmeal presets things that you don't find in a lot of other rice cookers then it might be worth the $70 but if you're just looking for a pretty basic rice cooker to make you a batch of rice with your dinner it's probably more than you need thanks for watching check out my small appliance reviews at cnn.com for CNET appliances I'm right now you
